Sigh, negativity is hard to overcome when exposed to it. Negativity can and does cause people to shy away or stop following their dreams...
In my humble opinion, negativity is not to be looked upon as a bad event but can be a turning point for anyone. Negativity is simply the expression of the opposite of what you are sharing and often negativity is a source of not completely understanding what SFI is all about and not understanding "why" people join SFI to become an affiliate.
With this in mind, when faced with a negative response to my decision to be an affiliate with SFI and my decision to share what SFI has to offer to other people, I silently remind myself what Jim Rohn states, "A teacher will appear when the student is ready." So as an affiliate, or what John states 'a teacher', it may simply be that the person/s you are promoting SFI to may not be ready. When someone is not ready, it is human nature to push things and people away. So when faced with negativity it is simply not about you, the affiliate, it is about SFI ,the thing, that is being pushed away.
So with this in mind, I typically carry on with my way of continuing to show care for the individual by taking the time to get to know him/her better. The better I know the person the better equipped that I will become to being the "teacher" that they are looking for in their life. I know of someone who had no interest in SFI what so ever based on her preconceived ideas about SFI; I respected that but I continued to represent SFI as a professional and still made myself available to my friend when she needed my assistance. During the time that I became better for her, by listening to her needs, I was able to model how SFI helped me out on the very same issues - finding good quality healthy products and another stream of income. After showing consistent positive behaviours about SFI and using products that SFI has that I like to use, this individual turned around as my actions were louder than words. She became a TripleClicks member and said that through my consistent caring for her health and welfare she now has a better understanding what SFI is and appreciates using health products. She told me that she is not ready to take on an affiliate role with SFI - I respected her decision as that is where is for the time being.
Negativity simply requires patience as well as not having affiliates personalize the negativity. Being professional at all times when representing SFI will get you far.
