Dear Aaron,
I am sure there are challenges you have faced or you think someone in Africa might face. I fully appreciate where you are coming from. What is critical for this business though first and foremost is to have access to the internet and a fair knowledge to navigate your way on the net, set websites/blogs...
What you should understand is that this is an online business, as a result you are interacting with the global village online. This has little to do with where you are interfacing from. One day you might relocate to the USA or Asia and you still continue with your business, carrying the same SFIID and the rest of it.
I appreciate that when it comes to having local ECAs, PSAs and doing online business with the local communities, yes you have challenges. In most African countries, being online is for a selected percentage of the population, it is so "foreign" should I say, for lack of a better word. But also remember in other worlds, people are so wary of online businesses because of the level they have gone to and all the scam schemes. Either way you face challenges.
You equally might have challenges with forex laws, depending on country and you find it difficult to make payments. Again SFI is coming up with different payment methods to make this business a easier for the diverse affiliates.
Yes the playing field might seem not level for all affiliates, you might feel you are more challenged by being in Africa, but I truly believe that it is not level for everyone anywhere in the world.
The information SFI has got and the rules for the business are the same for all affiliates. It is how you learn and apply them that determines how far you will go. Tenacity, Patience, Commitment, Diligence and SMART approaches as well as a Positive Attitude will see you make it through whether you are in Africa, America, Australia, Asia or Europe.
I hope this is helpful.
