The quote that readers are leaders is one of the most accurate quotes of all time.

People that read more learn more so they make fewer mistakes because they know the mistakes made by other who have walked this path before and are free to make bold new mistakes. If I take what I can learn from a yearly subscription to Entrepreneur and compare what I learned not to do to the mistakes my competitor has made in their business I can find an upper hand. I will be ahead of them even if I started my business 10 years after they did.

Our forum here at SFI is a great tool to learn every day.

People ask questions at 10 times the rate of AskSC and get answers in real time from dozens of experienced sources. They learn not only that something works but why and how it works, and how to tell if it's not working. By being a student of the forum you are guaranteed to learn something new every day, even if you have been doing this since 2003 like me.

Ask SC is like a polling of the community with unlimited answer options.

Every new question asked will have 10 days in which answers are added often 80 to 100 answers in all and they are voted on by the thousands of active experienced members. It's safe to say that reading the top 5-10-20 answers will permanently cure your curiosity about any of the tens of thousands of subjects covered in the archives.

All of these are chances for you to skip the errors made by our current GTL and PTL members and make it to Diamond Team Leader before they do. You won't realize that until you start reading and learning every day.

Some people spend 30 minutes on their to-do list, but I spend 3 hours minimum. I will start with the alerts tab and read the latest post at the forum, learning where I can, helping others where I can. I will then work through the information on my tabs and come to AskSC as the last task before entering the daily grand. I read every word of every answer I vote on and then when I am done I read some of last weeks 1st through 10th winners.

I guarantee that my business is stronger being a daily reader.

Perhaps the very best way to demonstrate the importance of reading daily would be to share some of the things that you are learning. When you use your team mail let your affiliates know that you learned the info you shared by reading the expert reports, or rules of success, etc.. If you don't divulge your sources they may become intimidated at their own lack of knowledge and give up.

When you share the value that YOU have gained by reading they will know that they can go to the same pool and drink in the same wisdom!

At SFI Affiliate Center we can find A LOT of useful informations.How to do this,how to do that,what others are saying about something...and so on.

All your downline should be aware of it."Readers are leaders" they say,and reading about SFI is investing in yourself.


Now,how to demonstrate the need to read a little each day.
Well,you can wait for affiliate to ask you something.Then,answer him/her what is being ask,and then,at the end,say that it can be found on ... (certain link in SFI Center) too.Repeat it once,repeat it twice,and slowly affiliate will get used to search for an answer in SFI Center.Then,by the time,he/she will get used to read other interesting things there.


Also,explain them what I wrote above (readers are leaders,and that it's investing in yourself).Tell them that they have option to:
1. ask you and wait (passively) for an answer,or
2. to search the answer by themselves (actively)

If your affiliates have at least some independence (e.g. are not 100% dependent on you/your help and just waiting for it) the will start actively to search for the knowledge.


Or,you can show them some magnificent text that you found out,and tell them "You know where I found it?I found it in SFI Center".When they read it and if they're delighted with it,it would be a great motive to go and search/read by themselves other such texts (little by little each day).

Thanks for this question.

Many people do a sign up and become SFI affiliates without full information. That's why many of them find it tough to face the reality and become inactive or opt out so soon.

Worst, they will not respond to any of your communication.

You are right. Unless they read and understand SFI business in its entirety they will not be interested in taking it any further.

As Sponsors, we have the responsibility to:

- Guide;
- Teach;
- Help; &
- Establish a good relationship in the initial days itself;

so that they will start believing us. Once such confidence level is created in their minds it will be slightly easy to make them

- Read SFI Basics; &
- LaunchPad Lessons

step by step; slowly but steadily. Since LaunchPad lessons involve VersaPoints they can realize their importance. This will help them to understand the finer aspects of SFI Business.

Reading them will give them more confidence & boost their morale. Having understood more things now, they will start exploring opportunities to build their business.

This is a very good development for the Sponsor to feel immensely happy.

Conclusion:

Everything remains with the Sponsor (or the person who introduces the Affiliates). When you build and enjoy a very good relationship with your down lines they will start not just responding to your communications but will start respecting you as well. Building a solid relationship is vital to have a strong, active and successful Team in any business. SFI too is no exception!!!

When I send out my weekly team mail I do a short summary of the most important things for that week - I give them just enough to peak their interest so that they would want to know more.

With the affiliates I have regular personal contact I remind them to read so that they will not loose out on something great - like the new Spin to win.

If you mention them and what they achieved in my stream post they would read to see if they were mentioned again - they are human after all.

Life is a game - which includes SFI. Games are played in the boardrooms, a game of golf between businessmen to secure a deal, politics are a game. People get married and play house-house. Most of these games as very serious - but a game nonetheless.

So instead of telling them - make a game of it. Give them a piece to read to find the answer to a question. You can give the winner 2 t-credits as prize and it will make them as happy as every T-time win makes us. Just a mention that they are the champions is something to be proud of. Eventually they will realize the advantages of reading something every day.

If you're spending time in the forum daily, you can send team mails with links to the forum posts you've visited and tell them a little about what the thread is about.

For your active and interested team members, they should follow you to the forums.

Ask SC is also a great way of reading and getting information every day. If they see that you're participating, which if you are, you'll have a couple of badges for rating Ask SC answers and for answering questions too.

The more information and the more successful you are because of daily reading and interaction on SFI, the more they'll see how important it is too!

Hello.
My ways are:
1. To grow their business, they need to read.
2. To maximize the profits and opportunities in the business, they need to be updated.
3. To be current in the thread of things in the company, then they need to read a little daily at their affiliate center.
4. To make any tangible income in SFI, they need to become Team Leaders and not just leaders, good and awesome leaders and without reading a leader is never made because he cannot give what he doesn't have. So to lead, they have to read a little daily at the center and show by examples the essence of reading a little daily at their affiliate center to their team members.
5. Information is powerful. Desired Items auctioned at Pricebenders and how to win can never be unless they are at the center.
6. Winning of Tcredits in games, T Time Machine etc is not visible if they don't read a little daily.
Lastly, the latest news, development in the company will never be known and as a result they lose opportunities that can build their SFI business. Eg. The Winter Leadership Challenge. How will they know what is in it for them if they don't read?
