This is an excellent question!
When I started SFI I took it quite slowly as it seemed complicated with so much reading to do and information to take in and understand. This kind of business was completely new to me and I thought I had to understand everything properly before actually doing the work to grow my business.
So, if I started again now, I would:
1. sign up for Wave3 immediately
2. set up a standing order for TCredits or S-Builder
3. advertise for affiliates to build my team within my first month.
I delayed advertising for about 3 months as I was insecure and believed that I had to be an 'expert' and have lots of experience with SFI before I could bring new people into the business. After all, I wouldn't know how to help them if they didn't understand things and I hadn't got my own "proof of success" to have credibility! I now realise that I could have done this much sooner and consequently started building a team and earning commission earlier.
I also mistakenly thought that the first time I advertised, the affiliates would start rolling in, so I only advertised a few times in my 3rd or 4th month. I would have bought PSA's from Tripleclicks too instead of relying on the free advertising sites for the first few months that I had started doing this.
Success in this business comes from building an active downline which duplicates what you do. However, I didn't know that so many PSA's would go inactive shortly after signing up ... so therefore I would have persisted in advertising on a daily basis to increase the numbers. If you can do that as quickly as possible you are likely to be more motivated to continue ~ you will start to earn commission sooner and you will reach team leader status faster which has its additional rewards.
So ... advertise and build your team as soon as possible! SFI has plenty of resources to help you and you shouldn't be scared to make mistakes if you are new to the business. All successful people had to start at the beginning and probably made mistakes along the way.
