Hi,
The way you asked this question, I assumed that the affiliate (whether PSA or CSA), no matter how long he has been with the business, has tried his/her "best" effort, at least from his/her perspective.

We must first understand that we are in the business of "helping our affiliates" (PSA/CSA) to be successful so that we could be successful ourselves.In other words, we would only achieve success by helping our downlines to be successful. Thus, if any of my CSA/PSA

Personally, I'd tell him that he can always give up, but I’d asked him to answer me two specific questions first:
1. What is his specific goal (what he sees as his main source of income at the SFI)?
2. What exactly is he doing to accomplish this?
Considering his answers, I'd try to help him to find a way to succeed (somebody* succeeded, so it can be done).

Second, superficial variant, without going into details (which I do not recomend ):
Newer affiliate, I would

An affiliate should have a mind of a business person and as such will not quit easily but if he want to quit because nothing is coming from his effort and hard work, he need to know this.

Tell him all he need to know about business:

1. Business cannot be built in days it takes up to 2-3 years for a business that wills grow to stand.
2. Handwork,Patience, persistence and perseverance are the elements of a formidable business.
3. Coming and making it in business is

It is very tricky and delicate situation. There is no universal solution for that situation. Each case is unique, but common to all of them is that we, their sponsors, are very uncomfortable.

Someone gives up after three or four weeks. Then they mostly give up those who work what they want, do not listen to advice and expect a quick buck. There is no such thing as a free lunch. For those who believe in that you shouldn't be pitied. What is the definition of hard work? Someone regularly

Keep on trying. More businesses fail because of owners giving up.

Pointing out the benefits can also be helpful. I treat my business as both a shopping experience to support TripleClicks and a way to get a small discount or refund off the items I want to purchase and a place to sell some items I want to sell and a place to recruit other like minded individuals to join me.

If I were to own a restaurant and was a new owner I would have to invest a whole lot more time and a whole

Hi Wilfreda
We can consider SFI as our own business here. To start our own business we want to invest land, labour, capital and organization. We can develop it only with its own time. We want to study a lot about what business we are doing, how to develop it, what to be done for it etc. First of all we want to set our seat, then only we can move better.
We are doing our business with a small investment with SFI, really our investment with SFI is zero, the reason is that we purchase products

My advice is never to give up on this job. Some members after a few days or a month ago to give up because they can not immediately see your earnings.
In this work, like in any other business can not make money overnight, you have to work more valuable every day, you have a lot to read, nothing falls from the sky without effort.
Every day visit your SFI office.
Perform all daily tasks with to.do list.
Play games, take part in auctions much you can earn.
Each day read the

When someone "whines" about not getting rewarded for his efforts it simply means that he/she lacks experience.

When I was part of a group who opened a store in our town I was told by other store owners not to expect to see a profit for at least three YEARS. I felt like I had been hit with a very cold and very wet blanket. I really did not like hearing that comment.

After all, he/she were told that SFI is NOT "get-rich-quick", right?

That person

Hi my friend.

It's very interesting question. Many affiliates who joined sfi are drop outs because of many reasons. It may be
->not getting any money,
-> have to read more,
-> lack of interest,
-> no proper guidance(no knowledge in english)
-> Lack of convincing skills
-> not interested to invest,
-> want easy and quick money,
-> don't want to do much hard work etc.

But
