Let's not make SFI more complicated than it really is. The SFI Ultra Basic Plan is 3 steps, and it is all you need to concentrate on.
1. Become an EA and remain EA. This is a small investment each month to keep your store open and operating.
2. Advertise to find people to join you. Lots of different ways you can advertise. SFI has lots of ideas on how to that for those just starting out. And our group has great people willing to help.
3. Teach those people steps 1 & 2.
The concept is really simple. Of course, you cannot make someone do those steps if they don't want to. But that is why you keep advertising until you find ones who are interested.
and this :
1) Forget the debates roiling among other affiliates and just start TRYING things. If there was agreement about a topic, perhaps I would follow suit and apply the tried and true, but there was not. So the only option was to try for myself. Really try.
2) Just be helpful in general. Not just to your downline, but adopt a willingness to help other affiliates whether you actually SEE any benefit or not. I always thought I was a helpful person, but when it came to SFI, I was hogging my time to do things and help people I thought would benefit me most.
3) Do my best to show my team (and others) that I was willing to give more of myself to them than to myself. That includes time, effort, and even money. Why? I would refer you back to "If you are successful, then I will benefit from your success," a popular follow-up line. In ANY network, the OTHER GUY MUST BENEFIT FIRST. A store must make sacrifices for the customer FIRST (provide a building to shop in, employees to help them, etc.). Any business must make sacrifices to its employees (provide a paycheck, supply a break room, provide uniforms, etc.). The point is that the guy making the money never, ever comes first in the relationship, but he does have a responsiblity to make the first effort.
