As a new affiliate you should NOT allow yourself to go below the green line for the E365 contest. This will result in big disappointment and big loss.

E365 is a challenge in which you compete with every other SFI affiliate who joined SFI the same day you did. The idea is to outlast them all and, on your 365th day in SFI, be named the champion of your class—an Entrepreneur 365 Champion! The contest is divided into six rounds. The first five rounds are six days each (a total of 30 days).

I love this question so much because I missed a lot opportunities when I started. I missed 200 versapoints for fast tracker and the badge that goes along with it. And I was eliminated on the 4th round do to ignorance, quite sad you will agree?
So to avoid my own kinds of mistakes, try to avoid the following under listed advice. They are must do not for you!
Don't just jump into the business without some little understanding how it works. Start from the basics. To read and study Is

In most cases new affiliates are not able to get along in the new busness they are in, unless they are properly guided by their Upline.

New affiliates should NOT do the following in their first month;
1.Work without setting SMART goals and action plans. Tackling SFI buiness without goals is futile.

2. Score Versa Points from their To-Do-List, Launchpad or any other readily available source without reading and understanding what this is all about. In other words, new affiliates

New affiliates should not be in a hurry to do anything except communicate. They need to study the program and make informed decisions on which way they want to go and what they want to achieve. They should not work without a detailed plan. This would include the setting of both short term and long term goals.

Reading and following the basic steps in SFI will guarantee success. The new affiliate should not venture forward without fist understanding these basic steps. It may mean a day

NOW I Know, what new affiliates should not do the first month:

1. They should only garner the VPs necessary to get on the Fast Track and be come an EA. I went through all of the LAUNCHPAD, but I did read everything. I made STL in just two or three weeks! I should have spread out the gaining of these VPs Take your time! Now I am going to lose a lot of VPs when they start expiring.

2. They should not be afraid to ask questions of their up line! I happen to have a tremendous sponsor.

Hi,
This is really very nice question.

In the very first month there are many things which should NOT do first month but, here few examples I am leaving to start first month:-

* Should NOT be lazy as you will see there are lots of material to learn, because this all the material is going to assist you to achieve your goal.
* Should NOT treat this business like other online businesses, because this is a very genuine business.
* Should NOT give up to make the

This is a good question and when answered should be useful for all affiliates on starting.

My answer
1-'Not Quit.'

It is so easy to quit due to:
-Information overload
-Problems navigating the site
-What to do next
-How to start earning an income
-Sponsor's lack of support

There is help and support all round, but knowing them takes time.

Until you know the tools and resources that are available, quitting in the first

Indeed a thought provoking question.

Please do not enter SFI with a closed mind or any preconceived notions. Treat yourselves as a raw student and concentrate on the enormous details you are made available with. Go step by step and master each of these points. While you can definitely review your role in SFI in future, these educations those are now imparted are going to be with you for the rest of your life. So please never ignore these basics and give maximum of your quality

Firstly, don't rush yourself. You need time to get to grips with SFI. There are a lot to learn about the business. Study all the Launch Pad Lessons thoroughly. Read the Tips, Blogs, News and Forums and copy and paste it to build your own Info Base.

Secondly, don't try to become Team Leader. Build up a good knowledge base first. You must be able to lead a team before going on to that point. Plus you need to have a team first. Learn>Sponsor>Lead.

Thirdly, don't chase VersaPoints.

Good day to you.

I believe that new affiliates should NOT click without reading and understanding all the things that have to be done in the GETTING STARTED ACTIONS....especially the Launchpad...

All the things we click, we should make sure we understand... For newbies, it is not rushing into something to get more and more points, but a slow but sure learning and understanding of what SFI is and how it works.

This is not a get-quick rich program but a slow but sure
