Let you Personally Sponsored Affiliates (PSA) do what they want to do. As their sponsor you are their to support them on their journey as they build their OWN business. True, you want them to succeed; however, each of them are their own individuals. Unless you know each of intimately, there is a very good chance each of them has their own learning style, own drive and own way of doing things.
I will use myself as an example. It has been 18 months since I joined SFI. I earned Silver Team Leader (STL) Status my first month. I did not rush through the Launchpad lessons, what got me the points to earn my STL my first month, was reading all the "extras" on the VersaPoints Ledger. I did not have a responsive sponsor, despite my attempts to contact my sponsor. However, I continued to work my way through the system.
I did not have a team my first; however, in my second month, I won some Co-sponsored Affiliates (CSA) through PriceBender Auction. It wasn't until my fourth month when I got my first PSA through S-Builder. I eventually had around 20 PSA through S-Builder; although I managed to make contact with 5 of them, none were ever active. Eventually, all have been removed from my genealogy either through opting out or through being inactive to long.
All through this I managed to maintain a Bronze Team Leader status up until about two months short of my year mark, when I realized it was not really benefiting me to maintain the BTL status, as I did not have a team to lead. The only benefit I was receiving was more TCredits and CSA awarded each month, but cost wise to me I was in the negative.
Here is my point: If I had a sponsor discouraging me to not become a team leader right away, I most likely would have quit SFI, unless that sponsor was able to CLEARLY explain to me why he/she was discouraging me to become a team leader. Without a sponsor guiding me, I had inadvertently worked my way up to STL Status my first month and maintained BTL for 9 months after. Through my own education and continued efforts, I came to my own realization the negative cashflow I was having and the better benefit of returning to EA status as I continued to build my own business.
So, I go back to what I said at the beginning, let you PSA be themselves. Simply, support them, encourage them in what they are doing. Teach them as best you can. Let them make their mistakes, while kindly offering advice; but do not discourage their actions, as you might discourage them right out of SFI.
