Generally people hasn't one's own risk business conception and sometimes is a little war to explane the potentialities of free enterprise; they have the custom to find everything ready and served on a silver plate, work that anyother pleople has done before. So it is easier to be a dependent with no many responsabilities. The famous "slavejob". This is a legacy of a europeen culture based on single work/force.
But showning practic and objectives results people can change his mind.

Firstival, always been positive, no matter the circumstances.Tell them to follow
people that already had success, follow their steps. Try to not reinvent the wheel.Tell them to be consistant in their work or project they might be building.Teach them the rule of duplication.Tell them that they must have a vision so they can attract followers.
Overall they must have a reason of why they should be followed.

It is not your job to worry about that. If someone is having a capacity to act as a "BUSINESS OWNER", he will not wait for YOU to tell him what to do. Hardly someone with mentality for running successful business will ask anyone for any advice.

But yes you can be polite (at most) and ask someone to start his business "under you".

I JUST TELL THEM it is a difference between these two ideas/concepts-IN CASE they let me to.
If not, there is no chance, it means you speak to walls. You should first establish a simple communication and after that explain them this "secret" as briefly as possible.Actually it is now only when I notice the difference and this is due to this question. So, one small sentence like this will make them ...THINK BIG.

No one can change anyone's mentality! You have to use tactics that cause them to want to change and thus do the work necessary to change. Here are some steps that might help you to convince them that being a business owner is better than being an employee catering to an employer needs.

1. Start with simple instructions on how to succeed as an SFI business partner.
2. Testify to how being an entrepreneur has improved your life.
3. Write frequent but short emails every time you

Hi Maria!

It is very difficult to turn someone to a BUSINESS OWNER mentality, if he/she doesn't feel like owner of his/hers own business.

I have never had my own business before SFI. When I joined, and my sponsor explained to me what is this all about, I figured it out, that this is my CHANCE OF LIFE, to start my own business. Because this is it. You have no boss, no one tell you what to do or when (except when you need help, your sponsor is there to guide you). With the all

Hello Maria Koning, great question and I think this is one that a lot of us have been asking.
Personally I think the best we can do is help our affiliates understand that we are not their boss, rather like a business partner.
Be the best sponsor/business partner that you can be and do the best you can.
It is sometimes very difficult to get someone to change their mindset about something and the best you can do is just support them as best as you can.
Hope this helps.
Best
