Good day

In order to maintain your current SFI position while on vacation and the same time continue to support your team with limited internet availability the simple way to do are the following:

1. First, place a STANDING ORDER with 1500VPs so that you are assured of your monthly VP requirement so you will not worry if how many months you'll be away.

2. Secondly, Inform the team under you that you can not be with them for a while because you're on a vacation. Tell

Hello

Here are some things I would make sure to check off MY To-Do List before I embark on a vacation with Limited Internet access.

1 - Try find out what time(s) during your vacation you would be free to checkup on your business.

2 - Let your team know that you are enjoying some of the spoils of working at SFI by going on vacation :D. AND that you will only be available at certain times (state Times) if any.

3 - Leave your team with an alternative method

Keep the lines of communication open with your team before leaving for vacation and just let them know about the possible internet limitations.Send them some encouraging words, Let them know when and how long you are going to be gone and let them know that you are there for them no matter what! If it's not an urgent matter they can send you an email and let them know you will get back to them as quickly as you can as the internet allows and also inform them if it is an urgent question, that they

Base on my own understanding of this question, i will assume that you may not have access to internet during the vacation, so whatever you have to do must be prior to the time of the vacation.
I will suggest that you set up a standing order of 1500VP to cover the numbers of month you were going to be away to maintain your EA status and send a TM to your team, informing them of how long you were going to be away and your expectation of each and everyone of them.

Remember to also inform

Sounds like you would want to have a worry free vacation – and rightly so. At the same time you want to keep your position and VP streak in good standing.

One of the first things you should do it to inform your team that you will be off line for x-amount of days. Encourage your teammates to use their co-sponsor, forum and a2a friends to get the answers to any questions they have while you are gone.

You will want to make sure your SO (Standing Order)

Hi,

It is always good to plan your vacation as it pertains to your SFI business. In that guise, I will always suggest you put your vacation mode button on especially when you are traveling to a location where you suspect that internet availability is going to be a problem. And also put in a stream post alerting your team members of your unavailability during your vacation period.

You don't need to bother yourself too much because of your vacation. All you need to do is put in

Hello and thanks for asking.

I like you to know that its very possible to maintain both your team and SFI business.

Firstly, to have confidence in the continuation of your business you need to have a good base in your PSA build up. You must be able to confine in them to keep qualifying for at least EA every month. Notify them about the vacation you are about having, drop them some gifts to show them you care about them and off you go.
You could setup a contest which

Good day!
The best way to maintain your SFI position is to set up your SO and have your card funded.
Plan ahead how you can get online while you're on vacation. You may need an iphone, smartphone, tablet or whatever it takes you to be online while on the go, so that you can still do your daily tasks that needs to be accomplished.

You may assign/train someone to check on your SFI business while you're on vacation.

With regards to team support, you may ask your sponsor

I guess the first thing you should do is let your team know you are on vacation and probably will be unable to answer any questions they have. Advise them to either go to the forum to ask an urgent question, or perhaps they can ask their upline or co-sponsor for some help.

If you have anyone in your family or friends that can help with your daily tasks, I think that would be most helpful in maintaining your position in terms earning any VP you can't earn while away. Having someone else

This question is available for me to answer right after my first vacation since joining SFI. Before leaving I notified my Team that I would be on vacation for 10 days and when I would be back working in SFI. Since I had my Standing Order already in place I met my EA2 before I left. Due to the nature of my vacation I did not have time to work SFI. It was my Churches Annual Convention and I was involved with other activities that surrounded it.

During those 10 days I had the Vacation Mode
