Question:
"How important is it to have a good sponsor and co-sponsor?"
Great question!
I'm lucky to have the privilege to experience both.
What is most important is you. Do you have what it takes? Are you willing to put forth the necessary effort to become successful with SFI?
As I ponder this question it is impossible to come to a good answer without first focusing on myself. No matter how great our sponsors are, we will only achieve what we are willing to put forth in effort.
Many sponsors have suggested it only takes 30 minutes a day to complete the Daily Actions, and point out how to collect VP's and so on. It goes well beyond these two factors.
No matter how great a sponsor or co-sponsor is, we as individuals will determine for ourselves we have or do not have what it takes.
Yes, encouragement from our upline is also great support, and will help us achieve more, but what about when we have to decide for ourselves?
How many hours will I devote to this business? Can a sponsor or co-sponsor make this decision?
Am I willing to devote 4 - 8 hours a day to become successful with this business? Will my sponsor or co-sponsor decide this for me?
It does help to have support from someone who has experienced the ropes, and also have several years of sponsoring under their belt, but what if you have a sponsor who lacks this experience?
I must admit I was somewhat overwhelmed at first, and made several mistakes on my own trying to go it alone due to a glitch in my personal email. My sponsor finally caught up with me, and asked why I was not duplicating any of her messages to me.
I asked her why she was not responding to any of my email, and we figured out it was not us it was an email issue. Once this was clear we communicated regularly, and this did help me improve much more quickly as she had much more experience.
What is most important is follow through on our own, and following up with a response to each message we receive, but if we are less fortunate, and have to go it alone, it is not impossible because there are built in support mechanisms which will steer us in the right direction, such as ASK SC, and the SFI Forum. Of course we also have 24/7 support.
There is no reason we can not seek success and find it even if we have sponsors and co-sponsors who struggle like we do. In some cases we will also experience inactive sponsors and co-sponsors.
If we are determined, we will continue on toward success with without them.
Thank you for allowing me to share!
