My choice is strangers, and here’s why.
When I first started, I tried to talk my closest friends into it. They seemed interested, wanted to learn more about it and one of them said: “Since the suggestion comes from you, I believe it’s a good opportunity. But, I don’t want to challenge our friendship for anything like business. As I understand, your success will depend on mine, and mine on yours, and that might lead to a conflict. We don’t need that, right?”
And I believe she was right. So I stopped looking for signups from among my friends and family, and concentrated on internet marketing. Your sense of responsibility for a person’s success is definitely stronger if it’s your friend or family member and that might burden you and make you feel uncomfortable, things they do wrong might irritate you and still you’ll probably suppress the bad feelings – and there you go, your friendship will no longer be a friendship but a stressful business relationship.
I’m not saying that it’s impossible. All I’m saying is that you need to be very careful when choosing friends you want to suggest SFI to. If those people show immense interest and determination – why not, give it a try. Just make sure they don’t like doing this for your sake, just for their own.
