David, there have been so many great responses to this question.Reading gives you knowledge and power. A lot of people have shared so many motivational books and they are right on point.One should spend a lot of time in the area of self development if they want to become a great Leader, Trainer and Coach. All of the books listed below should be a part of your library to be read over and over again.
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr.Joseph Murphy

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
The Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill

Live Learn Lead to Make a Difference by Don Soderquist
The Secret by Rhondra Byrne
For All SFI members,the # 1 book that I would recommend would be Future Choice..Why Networking Marketing May Be Your Best Career Move by Michael S.Clouse & Katie Jackson Anderson.
This book is a must to help you understand the Network Marketing Industry, give you the real history of how it all started and help you get the right mindset that you need in order to be successful.It will also help you erase the negative attitudes and stigmas that you may have about Multi Level Marketing and other preconceived ideas on why a person would not be successful and make money in this type of business.
Page38 Figure 4 gives a great illustration of how to put the Power of Duplication in effect by introducing 5 people into your business and teach each one to do same.I like to show a similiar example that I use in our training class to help you see the big picture.
Example
You
Level 1 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
The First Level should be Your Top 5 people. These five are serious about the business and should be at the EA Status just like you.Notice what happens when your Executive Team duplicates what you do and it continues down for 7 levels.
Level 2 5 5 5 5 5
Level 3 25 25 25 25 25
Level 4 125 125 125 125 125
Level 5 625 625 625 625 625
Level 6 3,125 3,125 3,125 3,125 3,125
Level 7 15,625 15,625 15,625 15,625 15,625
97,655 people would actually be in your downline.
Sometimes it takes a while to really get it,and you have to hear this over and over again,but once it really sinks in and you apply this principle, you will be on the road to being successful and having unlimited income in the business.SFI enhances the same concept with a basic simplified version of what you need to do.
Learn how to FOCUS!
(Follow On Course Until Successful)
Focus on the Map. The Map is the (Minimum Action Plan) which consist of 3 Steps.
