You have to be creative. Be honest. Believe in yourself and express your thoughts and ideas and the things you believe in. Work within the perimeter of SFI rules but do not confine yourself to them. Be as original as you can be.

Communicate with those who are successful and learn from them. Believe in yourself and keep positive. Turn all your obstacles into stepping stones. Have a keen eye for detail and opportunities that come your way. Ask questions and do not make assumptions.

You must build trust! Easy to say, but how does someone build a reputation so when they see your name (or business name) they will say "Let me check this out" because these people are real and they will not lead me wrong.

I'm talking about building a name for your business that will attract others. Building a name that will separate you from the competition. This is very important. If you are unable to separate yourself from the rest of the pack your chances of reaching the level

I think the best way to stand out from the crowd is to be yourself. Put your photo up all around the internet – on your emails, on various forums, Linked-In, and other social media sites like Facebook. Also be active in these places and talk about a variety of topics, so that people get to know YOU – not just your business. When people see your photo they will come to recognise you and know what you stand for. This is called ‘branding’ yourself. You are your brand. The aim of this exercise

Much as we are all doing the same thing, I believe each one of us is unique.

We are uniquely created in such a way that even if we read the same pieces of material, our perceptions will all turn out different. The way I understand will not be the same way someone else will interpret it. Definitely my Imagination is very different from another person's imagination; so are the goals, attitudes and zeal!

Therefore it is this uniqueness that you should use to your advantage

As you say thousands of SFI affiliates are doing the same thing, but we all do it a little differently

You want to stand out, than:

1 Be always polite to your team members, a2a friends, and everyone in general

2 Do what you "preach", for example do not tell your team to have SO for IAHBE, if you do not have it yourself

3 Answer any questions from your affiliates, in a timely fashion

4 Get a group discussion going, about SFI/ TripleClicks

You make a very good point. I believe the answer is the same as the answer for success with SFI - duplication.

I know that sounds a little silly - how can you stand out if you are just doing the same thing as everyone else?

The answer is in who you duplicate and what you duplicate. Take a look in the tab for "Growth" and look on the right side of the page where they list "Yesterdays Top Enrollers" - click on the name of the person who is 1st on that list.

Yes indeed! Thousands of affiliates are doing practically the same things in SFI but with varying results. According to Zig Ziglar, “Successful people do not do different things. They do things differently.” That is why they are successful. So it is in SFI. In SFI, thousands affiliates do the same things to promote their businesses. The affiliates who stand out are those who manage to do these things differently. That is how we all get varying and various results in our businesses as SFI affiliates.

As it says, Winner don't do the different things they do the things differently.

Therefore, it is very important that you follow the same proven techniques as suggested by Mr. Gery in various reading material BUT do the things wholeheartedly.

All the techniques are required for two important things to earn handsome income:

1. Recruit People and Retain them to convert as active.

2. Promote the TripleClicks Product to the all possible person.

This question speaks to a true entrepreneurial mindset in terms of trying to think outside the box in order to achieve your goals. In order to stand out from the crowd, you will be required to conduct extensive research.

For example, if you are an ECA, are you offering a product that no other ECA is offering? Think about all those items you perhaps have searched for and couldn't find listed then, formulate a business model canvas on a new venture to make them a hit here.

Also,

Standing out from the crowd literally means being the best or be amongst the TOP Affiliates who are in the system. There are basic rules that govern your progress and achievements in the business and in my short span with SFI, I strongly believe that the following are prerequisites for that TOP category.

- commitment to your business - that requires time and effort
- how much you invest - this can be in advertising, having a standing order or any other initiative that helps to build
