Great question!

Everybody's definition of success is different. It could be financial, could be status, it could be having more time for your family. Often it is about feeling secure.

The best way is to set goals: short-term, medium-term and long-term. Where do you see yourself in 6 months, 2 years, 5 years? Make a list of each type of goal.

Check in with yourself regularly and ask "Is what I am doing moving me towards or away from my goals?".

Your goal in the short-term may not be financial. It may be the steps you need to take on the way to your financial goals, mainly in terms of educating yourself.

Recognise your achievements along the way. At the end of 6 months, you may know how to build a website, how to build and motivate a team, how to organise your time.

Mark them off your list, keep a record of even more things you have achieved along the way. Even award yourself a certificate to keep in a portfolio.

Remember, SFI has it's own unique way of measuring your success. Just look at all your badges! When I started with SFI just a few months ago, I saw people's long lists of profile badges and thought 'Wow, that's impressive'. Now I look at mine and I feel kinda impressed with myself :)

Give yourself a big pat on the back, and tell yourself how far you've come.

There are many ways to measure personal success here at SFI:

1. Badges:
From the day you join SFI you start to accumulate badges.The longer your list of badges the more successful you appear to your downline. This is also the only way others can gauge your success when they check out your profile. You can get a feel for how well you are doing from the day you start and see the badge list grow as you grow with SFI.

2: VP:
VersaPoints give you rank in the power Rank Leaderboards. You can gauge your success against the rest of the SFI community, all the members from your country as well as against those who joined the same day as you. The higher your VP the higher your rank and the more successful you are being. Remember that this rank will increase over time depending on your success!

3. Team Leader Status:
As you accumulate VP for the current month your team leader status increases, the higher your team leader status the more successful you are being at building and maintaining a team at SFI. Remember the team is the key to success here at SFI. You can also achieve very high Teamleader status in the first month but maintaining that status is what determines success here!

4. Commissions:
You can base your success on the amount of income you are earning, but remember it takes time to build an income at SFI so don't judge on commissions from the get go!I watch as the monthly amount increasing and determine success from there...if I earned $1 last month and $2 this month an improvement was made and that means I am moving towards success!

I hope to watch as you are successful here at SFI!

Success to some is different than success to others.

I personally see success in the number of people I can help to do better in their business. It's why I am very active in the forums and always pack my team mail with training, and my stream post with solid business tips.

I am like that on every site I am on so I technically spend more time teaching than I do advertising but when you do that it's called marketing so my business wins anyhow.

I count success in the number of customers served. From my ECA Store clients to my Personally Referred Members I value bringing value to their shopping dollar and hope to touch each with great customer service.

I count success in the things I learn in a month. Did I learn at least one new thing or new method a day? If I did, that teaching done in the first part gets a lot easier to do.

I measure success in terms of impact on my family. If I was able to devote more time to our 7 kids and my loving wife and be there for things I would have missed in a 9 to 5 world, then I am a success at being a dad and husband.

I measure success in dollars as getting closer to having enough. I don't need excess, and riches, but I need enough to pay the rent, cover the bills, feed the kids, and maybe even save some for retirement. Each day I operate my business I get closer to having enough and that's a far cry from being flat broke last November.

This year my biggest goal is to not go a 3rd year without being able to buy at least one gift for each of my children at Christmas. I have done broke for as much of my life as most will do in two lifetimes and I had success and learned valuable lessons about not putting aside for a rainy day and a bad economy.

Success is learning from my mistakes and arrogance and building something that will last this time around.

Hello Temitope,

I assume you want to rate yourself about your performance or achievement in SFI. Everyone can rate oneself or measure own success in SFI.

First and foremost, are you FEELING you are successful? If you are FEELING successful you do not need to measure your success.

However for the sake of measuring there can be different aspects/ parameters you can measure or consider your performance.

.Your Power Rank(Class)- Does your class rank show you are in Top 10? Did you set your goal one year before to be in top 10 in class? ( Someone can have goal of being Topmost in his/ her class)
Your Country rank( Country) - What goal did you set for your self and did you set the time limit for it? How much did you achieve it?
Your Overall Power Rank: What is your position overall? Are you going on improving this rank?

The answers for above will give you just an overall idea on how are you performing in SFI, are you going up the ladder or going down.

You must have been setting Goals every month for sponsoring x number of PSAs , PRMs, PRM Sales etc . Have you been successfully exceeding the target? Have you ever become Top Enroller?

Have you won some Auctions for the products you wanted to own , at very attractive price?

What about your Income from different streams from SFI? Is your Inflow more than Outflow?

Have you been able to do something like being an ECA and selling something that was not possible before joining SFI?

What was your Primary reason for joining SFI?

Owning e business and earning specific amount by specific date? You can rate yourself
Improving your lifestyle: You can rate yourself
Expanding your network: You can rate yourself.
Being a leader : You can rate yourself
Financial freedom: You can rate yourself

There are somethings tangible and somethings Intangible you will achieve as being participation of SFI.

Some of your results can be measured some of them can be FELT by yourself and can be seen by others( like a positive change happened in you)

Please do not measure your success with respect to others. They had their own reasons to join SFI and they have set different GOALS.

and remember SFI taught us Success is a Journey and not a destination.

Different people will measure success in different ways, but most of us are in SFI for one reason and one reason only: To earn an income, whether it be an additional income or a main income. So, we are here to make money and not to see how many badges, PSA’s, CSA’s, etc. we can get, although those are indicators of our progress towards success.

To measure our success we must start out by setting some short term and long term goals. Your long term goals are your ultimate goals you’re setting for yourself and it’s against them that you must measure your success. They must be high enough to make a huge difference in your life and motivate you. It must be something worth fighting for. It’s that part of your goals that must be high enough to not be changed all the time because you reach them to quickly and easily, like becoming very wealthy or earning a huge income. But it must be specific. It can’t be just in general. That is too vague. They might even seem too high to some pessimists, but if someone else are able to achieve it, so can we.

Our short term goals we use to measure our progress towards reaching our long term goals. They mustn't be too high, especially in the beginning, but also not to low so that you don’t have something to work for. By reaching some of them each month also help motivating us to do even better and that way you can measure how successful you were during that month towards reaching your monthly goals. So, your short term goals may be to get so and so much badges, VP, PSA’s, CSA’s, PRM’s and ECA’s, this or that rankings, so or so much money, etc. per month, after 6 months or a year, etc., and by reaching those goals you are working towards your long term goals and you can measure your success by how many of that short term goals you have achieved. Ultimately that would suggest in what measures you have achieved your ultimate goals.

Your Goals Tab at SFI can help you a lot in setting and achieving your long and short term goals and in measuring how successful you were in achieving them.

There are so many ways by which we can measure our successes in SFI.

EARNINGS:
The primary reason we are in SFI is the opportunity for additional income. If we are reaching the goal we set in how much we should be earning at this point in time, I guess that is success. But earning more than what we have targeted is indeed SUCCESS!

LEARNINGS:
Upon registering in SFI, an affiliate will know that SFI is a LEARNING opportunity as well. Reading, learning and applying what you have learned in SFI business and personal daily life is already an indicator of success. Success is not only measured through the income you get from SFI but also how you have become a better person since you have been with SFI.

BADGES:
These tangible badges remind us how far have we reached SUCCESS in SFI. These are reminders of our milestones. These badges we have can help inspire our team mates to persevere as much as we do, to match the passion that we have towards SUCCESS.

In any business, success is always measured by one's growth & achievements.

SFI business is no different!!

We are here only to grow & show positive results. Number of our batches reflect to what extent we have grown!!

These batches will help our down lines to get inspired and do better continuously.

Ultimately, for any business man, the end results that will bring happiness are: Monetary Profits & Better Returns.

We are also here with these in mind.

Every month we need to review our growth and progress in terms of:

1. How our Team Members perform?
2. Whether any one opted out?
3. Are we able to convince him to be back?
4. How many new PSA enrollments we did &
5. How many CSAs added?
6. What is the status of Team Members?
7. What action we took to help them reach the next Leadership level?
8. How many TripleClicks products we promoted/sold?

I guess by the way people feel inside,..

If you are happy with what you do you are successful
If you feel proud of what you do you are successful
If you keep working even when things seems never to take off you are successful
If you meet new exiting people everyday you are sucessful
If you help people to understand what SFI is all about you also are successful

now here comes the "bombshell" :

If you even make a little or a lottle money while doing this you belong to the group of luckiest people alive !!

Who doesn't want to do all those things while even earning money ?

The best thing about SFI is they make it possible for everybody to experience that feeling.. It is really NOT a question of If people succeed but rather WHEN.. To all those who persevere : your business WILL grow,.. money WILL come in,.. You WILL succeed..

Just hang in there,.. Rome wasn't build in a day either BUT, it was build ;)

Hope this helps out some people to hang in and just NOT to give up !!
The seed is planted,.. Ground is working and things are growing ;)

Regards !

Hello Temitope,

In order to measure your success you need to know what success means to you.

When you first started SFI you were supposed to set realistic goals and each month after that you should have gone over them and refined them until you knew exactly what is was you wanted from SFI. You also should have defined where your business would be short term, mid-term and long term.

Some of the items to define would be how many PSAs you would have, how many sales you would have made, are your PSAs responding, are you at the rank you wanted and have you made any money.

Go over your goals and see where you are. Have you met any? Are you getting closer to any? Have you put in as much effort as possible?

If you can answer yes to any of these you are successful. Maybe not to the point you would like, but any progress – no matter how small – is progress and should be recognized as such.

And lastly, but also very important is: After you have been part of SFI for 6, 8 or 10 months and you still enjoy logging in everyday, visiting the forum, playing the games and every other part of being an SFI affiliate you are definitely successful.

Enjoy your time here and good luck.

When you measure your success you must measure all aspects of your gains in SFI. I have an Excel file in which I keep track of my growth and graph that progress.

In my file I have 4 tabs:

Tab 1: PSAs
Tab 2: CSAs
Tab 3: PRMs
Tab 4: My Financial Growth.

In the first three I put the number of people who join each month. With CSAs and PRMs the number remains very consistent. But with PSAs my numbers should be bigger each month, because it reflects the work of all my Affiliates, not just me.

These are the things I measure every month in my forth tab:

TCredits won and earned (based on the value stated scoreboard)
MRP Awarded and Won
Commissions
Earnings in TC from my sales
Value of CSAs as stated in scoreboard)
Savings on products won in PriceBenders

I track all these because this is my true growth. It also shows me where I need to put some extra work.
