Hello Maria....good day to you.

It is all about strong Mentality. This is what i am doing.

A. You have to turn affiliates' EMPLOYEE mentality first.
- Yes...i think this is tough question actually and it is really need strong mentality, the Employee Mentality is a hard habit to break, especially for the people who have been an employee for several years and retire as an employee.

1. You have to identify the experience you can’t shake, which is exactly what

Hi Maria,

I suggest you to redefine your judgement on mentality of the SFI Affiliates. It is since 'matching wavelength' is the only one aspect an individual can seek on earth,
always.

Best thing you can do is to go to 'Hot Spots' action on your home page everyday and access 'Genealogy', where you can discover the spectrum of wavelengths, the various
affiliates in your down-line keep placing on record (in their VP Ledger). You will find few of them interested in

I think the best way to do this is to impress on your affiliates the fact that it is their business. Whatever they do in this business is up to them (within certain guidelines).

They have their own store already filled with products, to which they can add some of their own, ready to sell. Nobody is going to tell them how or when to sell them. This decision is down to them.

They are their own boss working within a frame that has proved to be successful for the past 16 years.

You

Well, in my view,it is rather difficult to turn someone who "receives" on a monthly basis to start thinking in the same way as a person who take risk "giving out" his resources to build a business regardless of whether it makes profit or not.

What can be done to Affiliates who are employees is to ask them to see SFI as their side business where a small part of their earnings has to go into, thereby giving them a sense of being their own boss and controlling their own

In order to change a person's mindset, whether or he or she is an affiliate, a customer, or prospect, you must first develop enough of a rapport with that person, which means, to a degree coming to like and understand that person enough to be able to communicate on that person's level, and doing so, open him or her up to the ideas you wish to share. Generally, this works best on a one-on-one basis as opposed to a multi-person mail-out.

I tend to find Skype or a Yahoo chat, complete

Hello Maria,

In my opinion you can’t. There are Workers and Leaders in other word.
Since all employees don’t have failure mentality and all business owners
Don’t have successful mentality. You can find both success and failure
In both sector.

But for one business to survive you need both, they go hand to hand.
You need Employee, and you need Business owner.
But if you want to change Employee mentality to business mentality
The change has to

We can try by explaining to Affiliates the difference between having a job, and having a business.

It is understandable for affiliates who have a job to have the EMPLOYEE mentality when they joined SFI.

They are used to reporting for work everyday, to do a set job in accordance with the job descriptions of their positions, to work for a boss who decides their suitability for advancement and receive a set weekly or fortnightly pay, and must be productive, proactive and work

That's a great question.

1st of i would say, most people, either have it or not.
The fact that a lot of us, are doing are best, and are actively working with sfi, promoting, sponsoring, and trying to build an active team of affiliates, shows, or better, proves, that we have the business owner menatlity.

We believe, we will succeed, however long it takes, or which ever roadblocks we have to go trough.

The ones with the employee mentality though are a harder nut

We can only do this slowly, as people are raised to believe that they are followers which makes us good employees. We follow the boss and our immediate supervisor. "
To change this mentality you need to nuture and bring out the confidence in the people that they can do something on their own using their own initiative.

Encourage them, give them the steps to build their business, spoon feed them if you have to, but do not "do it" for them, they need to be encouraged

Being an employee and being an entrepreneur are two completely different things.

SFI is WORK meaning you get what you put in.Becoming a business Owner or Entrepreneur.

An employee gives of his time for a specific wage(does not need to do any thing just
needs to be there)

An entrepreneur on the other hand creates their own wage or pays them-self.(needs to
make valuable use of their time.

For in the end an employer suffers from delinquent employees
