I am one of the fortunate SFI members - I have a good sponsor - many do not. In their defense though, I believe many 'new' sponsors are caught in the middle. They are trying to learn the business themselves as well as learn how to be a good or great sponsor. That is difficult. My sponsor advised me from the beginning that SFI is not a "get rich quick" business (as we have all read and heard many times) .. that I would have to be patient and I definitely would be challenged - but if I stuck with it, my perseverance and work would pay off in the end. In the beginning, everything was 'fuzzy' and I was confused - in fact I didn't start off well at all. After one week, I got caught up in my work (outside of SFI) and I did not log in for about 6 weeks. My sponsor continued to communicate with me - but did not criticize or 'scold' me - instead he continued to let me know his accomplishments and how encouraged he was about SFI. I started back after 6 weeks and have been learning and absorbing as much as I can. I am not making gallant strides - but that is of my own choosing - I'm learning the business at my own pace and every week I accomplish something new and I am reaching MOST of my new goals each month. I am OK where I'm at right now - but I most definitely see a great future ahead ... that's the exciting part and what keeps me motivated!
