I do not think it would be a wise decision to quit from SFI today and completely start over again knowing that I can join SFI after a 6-month waiting period. There is nothing to gain from completely starting all over again since I would be learning the same complete internet business techniques, promoting SFI, Tripleclicks and E-Commerce, doing the same stuffs all over again, waste time I have spend which no one can turn time back and would be losing more if I quit.
I would not waste the time I have spend, credits I have earned, people whom I would work with and the potential earnings I will earn within the 6-month waiting period. I rather continue building my working force using the marketing aids, gateways and free ads posting host I am now and be a great mentor to the people I have recruited rather than completely start all over again.

If I had to do it all over again, i would gather the information I needed first to succeed. I would watch the training videos i could find on SFI and ask questions to my upline sponsors what they did to make it in SFI.
Then I would talk to people and send out emails to people about SFI. I would also post banner ads on websites, send solo ads and click SFI tabs to earn VersaPoints. Everyday I would do these things.
If I could start over with SFI today, I would do what I am currently doing. I joined in 2005 and did not look at it like a real business. I had a standing order but did not log in each day. In August of 2013, after 8 years of wasted time, I started really looking at the potential of SFI. I started logging in each day, reading the latest news on the Alerts tab, finding a2a friends that could provide inspiration and ideas. I started buying hits to my SFI websites and PSAs. I worked up to BTL so that I could get Second Home CSAs. I started reading in the forum and adding my own responses.
This business will work if you work it! While I am still not where I want to be in income, I know that if I continue working, I will be able to supplement my retirement in a few years.
But looking back, if I had done all this when I first joined, I might be retired already with a good source of income!

This is an excellent question. Thank you for asking it. If I could completely start over again I would have established communication with the person who is now my sponsor. I would have asked all the right questions to establish if this person was going to be a suitable sponsor. Had I done that I might have confirmed the worst and gone searching online until I found one that would fit the profile of an awesome sponsor. It is regrettable to me that I did not take this opportunity to establish communication when this person was my Facebook Friend.
I realize many of you did not have such an opportunity to reach out prior to joining. This is was my experience - my story and I'm sticking to it.
With Observation 101 I see that Awesome Sponsors and Strong Supportive Uplines know how to duplicate and build huge Teams.
Before I send an a2a Friend Request I establish first that they're active. I made my own rule that if any of them have not logged-in 30 or more days I remove them. I find this exercise interesting because I have removed many and I suspect this trend will continue.
With these two scenarios established I now consider what would be better - leave for 6 months and come back under "strong" SUPPORT or end up inactive for over a year until removal?
I hope you have found my experience interesting and helpful. Maybe more will be done to make SFI a STRONG FUTURE for more than the a few who remain the MOVERS.

I wasn't clear about E365 and I have been eliminated for my class - I am a little disappointed about that. Secondly, as someone else mentioned, I would have completed my "getting started" actions on the first day to get the Fast Track badge and bonus points .. those are two things that I would do differently - but neither one are 'show stoppers'. The badges are nice and make you feel good when you achieve them, but NOT having them really doesn't affect you as far as learning the business and accomplishing your ultimate goal. I think the most important thing that I did not do right away, and definitely would change, is to read the SFI Basics and Launchpad Lessons - those are invaluable.

I would take my time earning my VPs, except for the fast track points. In the first month you can reach BTL very easily. Then you struggle the second month.
Take your time and spread out your points during the first two months achieving EA status each month. Then on the third month go for the BTL status.
Well, it's a nice question! Surely i want to do a few things differently;
1. I will reach 500Vp in the first 24hrs to get the Fast Track Badge, which I did missed!
2. I will get all the available action points and be Silver Team Leader in the first month which is completely possible and actually a lot of new affiliates are doing. Then you'll have 2-shares of CSA's, an instant team!
I wished i have known these things before, anyway would I start again, NOPE.
I started SFI well even without support from Sponsor.
The ONLY thing I'll have done differently is; NOT advancing to STL rank in the first month. I did not realize then that a team is what I need to build in other to be a LEADER. I could as well stay on the rank but it would have caused me a few EXTRA bucks. So now, I am on BTL and building a team that will take me to the next rank and also help me to sustain it.
Honestly, my biggest regret was that i practically rushed the lauchpad lessons instead of taking it slowly. If i had done so, it would have provided me more Versa Point in the subsequent month. I then had to dig deeper, and started a standing order so as to meet up.
I know many affiliates made the same mistake, and up till date, i still sometimes re-visit these launchpad lessons to learn what i may have missed in the past. So, don't rush things, take it slowly!
If i could completely start over again, what i would do differently would be to get my fasttrack barge on the first day so i can earn the extra 200VP. Then i would earn EA using more sales points than action points so i can save some of my action points for the next month team lead qualification. I would strive to attain silver or higher team lead within the first month so i start getting a higher share of the executive pool from the first month.
