You may choose to do Nothing and only Work with the workers.

As the saying goes,"you can take a horse to the water but you can't make it drink"
Only about 3% of Internet Marketers succeed. Of those who fail, the bulk never get started.

OR!

Having said that, I would continue to send out a monthly mail to all affiliates encouraging them letting them know that Nothing has to remain the way it is if YOU dont want it to be. Life is tough and many face

How quickly is quickly?

Today's society demands instant "everything". We all want to be an overnight success.
Some will be and others will take much longer, but the bulk will fail.

Success is earned through failure. If you have failed enough, you will build an SFI business quickly!

Sounds like a stupid comment, right? An experienced marketer who understands the paradigm shift of traditional business to online will no doubt be at home on this site from

I'd say that you have yet to meet the individuals that will carry you to success, that close family and freinds don't make the best business partners.

I'd say it's easier to find strangers who will join than to convince those you know.

I'd say it's to your advantage not knowing too many people, because you will find ways of getting to know thousands.I'd then suggest a few examples of how to find the right type of person.

You see your success is dependant on finding

Tell an inspirational story!

As the saying goes, when the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter.
Focus on "Why" to join, not "How" to join.

Find an inspirational story that will resonate with your audience. Let them relate and see themselves in the roll of a successful SFI business owner. What would that mean for them, how would their life change?

Try give them some perspective of the Paradigm Shift that is takeing place during their

It may be useful to understand why you are being rejected so that you can react accordingly.

1. Are you being rejected because you failed to properly present the opportunity?
2. Who is your target market?
3. Do you know why they aren’t interested?
4. Can you establish a pattern?

Being able to rationalise the rejection will enable us to improve on our skills. So we should see rejection as a guide to helping us improve our targeting, presentation and closing skills.

It's all about the way we see things that determines who succeeds or quits!

Ambition, Drive, Knowledge and Experience give you the edge to succeed quickly, but unless you Love what you do, you will have great difficulty in succeeding.

In this business duplication is the key to success. That means you need to build a team that wants to win, that are passionate about what they are doing and ethuisiastic in their approach.Those SFI members who start with a positive winning attitude
