If I start today SFI with my primary knowledge what I know now, at first I will keep my sharp look to the instructions, notifications, if any, from the end of SFI as I don’t know what is sponsor, co-sponsor etc. I am just a starter and starting with SFI today

If I get any instruction or notification I will start to follow it to proceed. If I don’t get I will straight go to Log into my SFI home page with my user name and password. In home page I will click all the tabs serially and one by one, check, read and study it thoroughly, try to learn and gain some idea about system of SFI business. It is needless to mention that I will keep a note book and pen to note down the points which I would think most important.

To take the above steps now I am aware about SFI more or less and already come to learn what is sponsor, co-sponsor, up-line leaders, forum, Ask SC, support desk, search engine, glossary and others

Now I am able to start my journey with SFI in a smooth way. It is not possible to do in a day or week. It will take some time but in the mean time I can easily proceed to achieve success in a slow but steady way

This is my answer about different ways I should take if I am a starter with SFI today

Hope this will be helpful to you

Hm! :) Hmmm..I would start it with my "gas-pedal" pushed down all the way to the floor. :)) Meaning, I would work from the start minimum of 8 hours a day, advertising. And go for a Standing Order, S-Builder Co-op, to become a Team Leader in my second month.

It means to put in some money, but it is not a lot of money, it would be come back to me in maybe a month time. In every work one has invest a little bit to have success. In SFI You can have success anyway, but with a 50-60$ per month at starters until You get a nice working team at least 3-5 persons, You get that success quicker. My opinion so far.

Great question.

I would have done everything on my To Do list during the first month. I would have gotten my standing order in place the first day too. I did not do this until month 3. But I was Executive Affiliate the first two months anyway. I would not have gotten a lot of versa points till second half of year. This I did and points were being deducted left and right, where I came in second in E 365.

Starting over I do not think I would do because I have learned a lot since I started with SFI and we are all still learning here at SFI.

Learning never stops here and this is wonderful!

Have a wonderful day/night.

If I should be given the opportunity I shall do the following:
1. Read and learn constantly before accumulating VPs
2. Concentrate on building an active team.
3. Participate actively in the ECA program
4. Become a W3 member as early as possible to be part of the unlimited opportunities it presents to win weekly.

Hello Manuella,

If I could do something differently I would have gone a little slower at getting sign-ups and worked harder to learn about the ECA program.

After over 10 months I am just now starting to work on opening my own store. I wish I would have started this 6 or 8 months ago, but at least I am finally getting somewhere with it now.

I didn’t really have enough confidence in my marketing ability and just kept putting it off. After reading and re-reading the information I found that having your own store is one of the best ways to make money on-line, so now I am working hard to make that happen.

I am a little late getting started, but I will catch up soon.

If I could start SFI all over, I would do the following:

Try my best to stay in contention in the E365 Challenge.

Would place a Standing Order right from the beginning.

Participate in auction.

Log in to SFI everyday and do my daily tasks.

Would not have lost my CSAs due to my inability to become an EA for several months.

I would also ask questions every time.

"If you could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?"
The first thing that I would do is NOT rush through my launchpad lessons. When I first started, I didn't realize how important it was to really read to understand these lessons, rather than just reading them to earn to vp points. I would save some of these lessons to be completed during the second and third months so that it would be a struggle to make EA in those months.
This information is something that I share with my team because I do not want them to make the same mistakes that I did and feel discouraged in the second and third months when vp is harder to earn.

Hello, Manuella Essaka!

You just gave a voice to all those
(i) who had missed their fast tract, or
(ii) were eliminated from the E365 Championship, or even
(iii) those who did not see the value of a standing order (SO) right away.

I am neither of those.

But, I would still have made some significant improvement in my first month with SFI.

(a). I could have made it to Gold Team Leader and possibly be motivated to maintain it, if not make further progress. Instead I stopped at Silver Team Leader, and lost the motivation to accelerate my progress. Now I content with a much slower pace to success. I will definitely get to the top but not at the fastest speed that I know is possible.

Instead, now I have chosen to fall back onto Bronze Team Leader and advance only through sponsoring to earn the action VP needed for rank building.

b. With a focus on reaching and maintaining Platinum Team Leadership (PTL) comes greater focus.

When we set lower goals, our motivation and our efforts are consciously or unconsciously curtailed to that level.
The opposite is also true. When we set higher goals, our focus and efforts reach a higher level.

c. A More Comprehensive Strategy in Building Multiple Streams of Income.
This is the area where I see my failure to act on my knowledge and the full potential of what is possible to achieve with SFI.
When we join, we have this sense of urgency to do great and well as quickly as possible. After one or few setbacks we tend to see a lower level of motivation, fueled in part with comments we read elsewhere and in part with our own experiences.

Although the overall goal remains alive, we work at it at a slower pace.

This is the one aspect we need to fight and overcome to regain our momentum reach, and success as fast as possible.

That is what I intend to do in the coming month of August.
I have an excellent shot at reaching my goals and beyond. I am seizing it.

If I can start SFI today,
I will not jump into Bronze Team Leader without Team.
I will take time to read more and learn more.
I will take time to advertise seriously, both Gateway and TripleClicks.
When I started, Internet Marketing was totally new for me
Now, after few months... I learned a lot and I'm proud.
And I'm grateful to my Sponsor for support and patience.

When I started I totally blew it. I didn't realize just what I had stumbled onto. I did read some but obviously not enough. I missed the Fast Start badge by not doing enough at first. I would continue with checking in each day to to the "to-do" list which is what got me motivated originally. Then the learning kicked in. I started recruiting right away so I would duplicate this as it has been successful so far. Setting the goals initially was one of the hardest things so I might pay more attention to that.
