Hi Michael,

My personal challenge was lack of knowledge. I have tried various internet income programmes over the past few years only to give up because I didn't have a clue where to start or how to go about it.

SFI provided the support and tons of free training. I spent the first month learning everything I could, followed all of the step by step instructions and the To Do List and made and maintained EA since then.

I understood that it would take time to build

Hi TEAM!!
My greatest challenge is getting my PSAs and CSAs GET ACTIVE and STAY ACTIVE!!!!
When an individual sign up here they should have the mindset that this is a business and must be handled like any other business.You see you only earn what you put in!!!
Do not let reaching leader status make you think you have it made for you have NOT!!
What is the sense of being a leader with nothing to lead!!You need to build a team.
The best way to lead is from experience so

This is my sixth month working with SFI and I still have several challenges, but I will mention only two.

The first one has been and still is to find a way to motivate inactive PSAs and CSAs!
Everyone of us is facing the fact that the most of our down-lines are lazy or just has come here with the wrong idea that they will become rich over the night. When it's not happening, they quit.
Well, I understand that I can not force them to start working - this is their call, but maybe

There will be challenges for many of us at SFI. Overcoming the challenges is the path to success at SFI. What matters is to face the challenges head-on, overcome the challenges, after which there is a sense of achievement and we get motivated to face bigger challenges.

The greatest challenge for me was to build a sizeable team to lead and motivate. I learned that SFI is all about building a team and duplicating the efforts.

I managed to overcome the challenge by focusing on

I had two challenges: 1. Affording a standing order (SO)since I do not have a regular income and 2. Finding the easiest method of paying each month since I have no credit card. Here is what I did:
1. I set aside about three months of SO money from a project that I worked on.
2. I got my friend's permission to use her credit card so I prepaid my friend's credit card which I now use to honor my SO commitment. I will keep doing that until I find a better way.
3. I give more than the amount

My greatest single challenge in SFI was that I needed to study SFI like a real business. At first, it seemed like a "side-show." It appeared as something that I was doing as fun, but then I realized that if I am going to really make a difference in my own life and those around me, I need to start trying to see this as a legitimate business.

I started taking my daily VP seriously. I have over 6-month streak for my daily VP's. Everyday, I have made it a habit, to check in on my

My greatest challenge to success in SFI was getting started. Simple but true. When I joined SFI it was by accident. I wasn't looking to start an on-line business because I'm so technically-challenged.

SFI was one of the five programs offered on the internet, I joined all but could not understand any. But SFI seemed to have a very simple structure which I could follow. But then I had to go overseas and stayed away for 3 months. When I came back, I checked SFI again, it was still there!

Am on the road every day. My greatest challenge was going online everyday and means of paying for SO.
I borrowed a lap top but still had challenges with network and power in remote areas. I hence decided to limit my online ventures to SFI and TripleClicks and essential mail only. A team leader once urged affiliates to unclutter our desk by unsubscribing from all those spammy sites. I did this and had fewer mail to read everyday. For a single charge i found i could complete tasks for 2-3 days.

Interesting question.

My greatest challenge has been fear of using the net. When I was introduced to SFI, I didn't want to know anything about it. I have never been a Facebook person, didn't have a twitter account or for that matter had any interest in having much to do with the net with the exception of using it as a source of getting information for school projects.

After I signed up, it was another story altogether! What can I say? I am addicted to SFI. :)

Hi,

My greatest challenge to success in SFI when I started was how to overcome the payment difficulties faced by certain countries.

Most of the available payment methods were not available in my country. So, I kept struggling and trying out many payment methods. At a point, I gave up and left the SFI business.

After about three years, I reregistered with SFI and continued making efforts to surmount the payment problem.

The final solution came when I
