Having been lucky myself to have a one-team member with me when I just started and having had the experience with other members who do not have a team, I have mixed feelings regarding taking up a leadership role without a team.
You could argue that you can become a Team Leader and then develop your team as you move forward because you will become an example to your team. However, you run the risk of getting discouraged if you do not get active members under you within the first couple of months of your joining SFI. This is particularly frustrating if you are investing in SFI by way of a Standing Order and your return on investment is not showing at all.
We currently have affiliates who have invested continuously for a period of time and not received any returns, and they are Bronze Team Leaders (BTL). At times, they have found it difficult to maintain their rank and this can be very demoralizing.
In view of the above, I would strongly suggest that you decide whether it is wise to become a BTL and then develop a team that you are sure will become active or start advertising for affiliates and then ensure that they help you qualify as a team leader. This will not only bring in an income but you are all set to build a strong foundation for your business. Remember your progress is a guideline for your team members so however you proceed, always take up a positive outlook as this will be an inspiration for your team members.
