Ovidio,

I think you pose a great question here. The idea that an affiliate would suggest that action is a waste of time is an indication to us that this affiliate does not understand the potential of action. Action is a key step in moving forward (as opposed to being idle and accomplishing nothing), building momentum and advancing towards our goals, whatever they are. Without action we cannot succeed. I think it is important to understand the importance behind why we are coached to take action every day. It is so much more than just earning VP for each action, it is that we are creating a habit of working towards our business and our goals. IF we are not dedicated to success we will not succeed.

As SFI affiliates we are so blessed to have the wisdom and leadership of Gery Carson who understands the need for taking action towards our business every day (and hence the "Goals" tab) and coaches us in a direction of developing habits that will reward us with success. In his "SFI Rules of Success", rule # 8 states:

"It's ABSURD to think you can succeed in SFI if you're not visiting the SFI Affiliate Center at least once a day and reading the latest information and updates. EVERY DAY, at the very least, you should be checking all of the tabs on your SFI homepage (Alerts, Tips, To-Do List, TripleClicks, Ask SC, Scoreboard, etc.). You should also be reading the latests posts on the SFI Forum. If you're not reading all or most of these things, you are clearly NOT serious about SFI and you will therefore not succeed."

I would ask this affiliate what his or her goals are and then query a bit more on how they plan to achieve those goals. Once you have an understanding of where their mindset is at and what their thinking is at, the opportunity to begin to integrate into the discussion some of Gery's proven methods for success .... with action being on the top of the list will present itself.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

SFI Affiliate
