You will know whether or not you are capable of building a successful SFI business by asking yourself three questions (and giving honest answers);

1. Am I determined to succeed?
2. Am I willing to commit a realistic amount of time to building my business?
3. Am I prepared to learn from those who have already succeeded?

If the answer to any of the questions is no, then chances are, you will struggle.

If the answer to all of the questions is yes, then you have what it takes. There are no special skills required, just determination, a high level of commitment, and a willingness to learn. Here's why;

1. You need to be determined to succeed. You should view each obstacle you encounter (and you will encounter them) as challenges to be overcome. Without determination, you will get nowhere.

2. You need to commit time to your business. It takes time to place ads, to communicate with your up-line and your down-line, to complete the daily tasks, and to learn as much as you can about the business. Ideally, you should be prepared to commit some money as well, to help your business grow faster, but it is not essential. But putting in the time is. It may only be an hour a day, but if you spend that hour wisely, you can move your business forward every day.

3. You need to be willing to learn. Every person in history who accomplished anything of note started out as someones student. They learned from those who had gone before. Mozart had a music teacher. Picasso had an art instructor. You do not need to develop the concept of online marketing. All you need to do is find someone who has been successful, find out how they did it, and duplicate those actions.

Hope this helps!

Hello, Ibrahim Shaheedulla

From my standpoint, everybody is capable of building a successful SFI business if they have the desire and apply themselves to do so.

There is no shred of a doubt in my mind that I am succeeding in building my SFI business. I am working with my PSAs and CSAs alike to give them that same confidence and lead them to actions that will help them maximize the result of their efforts.

This question is both a practical matter as well as a matter of self confidence.

We know the sayings: "If you think you can, you can. If you think you cannot, then, you cannot".

Our mind is powerful enough to give us the resources we need to succeed in tasks for which me make the unshakable determination to succeed.

That is one part of equation.

The second part of the equation, the practical aspect of building an SFI business, has to do with the way activities are identified and planned in such an explicit manner. If an affiliate of average skills and commitment follows the guidelines, they can succeed up to the level of resources and efforts they put into it.

The bulk of SFI success comes from sponsoring, sales, advertising and marketing. There are very efficient tools within SFI to help us successfully do every one of these activities.

In the area of sponsoring, the S-Builder Co-op, the PSAs-to-Go and the Bid and Build features give us the opportunity to have our own PSAs. Yes, we can and should supplement this with efforts outside of SFI. But, the point is: the foundation is already built for us.

Similarly, in the area of advertising and marketing, we have very sophisticated tools for beginners, intermediate and advanced marketing methods and instruments. SFI directs us and help us with ideas and guidelines on how to build websites, run blogs, post there banners and product information.

For sales, we have large resources on how to be successful. Furthermore, Tipleclicks products are of high quality for which we can generate high demand. Their sales will boost our income significantly.

Will succeed, whoever does this consistently, relentlessly, and teach his team members to duplicate such efforts.

Yes, I do believe that everybody is capable of building a successful SFI business, if they have the commitment and make the efforts to be successful.

There is no magic formula but I would suggest that you ask yourself the questions below. Remember, this is not a hobby. It’s a very serious business.

I suggest the following questions:

Are you hungry, passionately hungry for success?
Are you prepared to satisfy that hunger by hard work and commitment?
Are you willing to learn from others experience? Lean new things? Try new things?
Are you patient and once committed to something you will give it your very best?
Are you loyal and have ‘stickability’ – endurance – and will not give up easily?

You will notice that all these questions are about you and really those questions are applicable not just regarding success in SFI but to any venture you undertake. It has very little to do with SFI.

If you have those attributes I would say you are more than capable of building a successful SFI business.

One of the things about Internet marketing or any business for that matter is having the confidence that anything is possible with the right “mind set.” Which, also includes a positive outlook, persistent action and the tenacity to hang in there until your achieve the success you are looking for.

No one is born with “success” – You do not get a degree of “success” going through college. The only way to acquire success is through hard work coupled with a burning desire to have the things that you dream about.

No one can tell you that you are or are not capable of success. Success is measured differently by every person including you. Your success story will be totally different than mine or anyone else. You write the paragraphs and chapters in the story of your success through the actions that you take every day.

Focus on your goals – work hard towards meeting those goals – set higher goals that make you stretch into new territory – keep doing this until you hit your target in the bulls eye. Once you have scored a direct hit, look at where you are and if it does not describe success to your inner man/woman then continue on.

Understand that everyone is capable of success Even me;

“I am not where I want to be yet – but I am further then when I started – I have my eye focused on the finish line and I will succeed – there are no stop watches or time limits – I will go at my own pace and I will eventually succeed!”

I speak the above paragraph to myself a couple times a day. Write one for yourself and drive it into your heart through daily repetition of speaking it out loudly, proclaiming your victories – conquering your doubts – standing on the mountain top from your climb to success.

This is a very interesting question!

It could also be extended to asking how you would know if you will be successful in anything? The simple answer is that you don't know for sure ... but if you believe you will be successful then you will do whatever it takes to make it so!

SFI has extensive training and support, with the Launchpad lessons to begin, then the specific instructions on every aspect of your website and the business, found simply by clicking in the Search bar. Everything is covered and the Forum and Ask SC also give you plenty more advice and helpful suggestions. In addition you have a sponsor and a Co-sponsor who are there to guide you and help where needed. There is always an answer, there is always help for whatever challenge you face.

Having said that, why would you fail in this business? If you can read and follow instructions, if you can follow advice and guidance, if you are coachable and teachable and are prepared to put in a bit of time every day to your business ... how can you fail?

SFI is a business that you need no qualifications for and, no matter what your background or previous work experience is, you can learn how to work it successfully if you pay attention. I also strongly believe that it is down to will ... or motivation. If you really want to succeed then you will do whatever it takes to make it work and build a successful business.

There is a great quote by Napoleon Hill which says "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve" ... so my advice is, believe that you can and you will study and work to build a successful business with SFI.

Wishing you every success!

There are some measures with which you determine if you posses the requisite capabilities to be successful in a business like SFI; determination, persistence, hard work and team work.


Determination

You have to believe in yourself that you are here to succeed, so if you have this at the back of your mind then you will be inclined to make do with all available resources to grow your business, otherwise, this kind of business may not be for you. You should have enough time to attend to business and be willing to take necessary and appropriate risks.


Persistence

You need to be a persistence person in this kind of business because it will certainly throw many curve balls which may result in frustration and de-motivation to forge ahead. However, if you are the type who can weather the storm and continue to put efforts and throw everything at it to reverse these, then you know there is a possibility to see light at the end of the tunnel. This also means that even when you are down, do not give up because quitters do not win and winners do not quit. So if you have the ability then you have a chance here to succeed.


Smart work

Some may talk about hard work which is not a useless capability but hard work alone is not a silver bullet to achieving success. You therefore need to be smart by using quality time and resources to achieve success. In this regard, smart work also requires setting strategic mission and objectives, plans and actionable goals, courageously executing them by making the best use of available resources and technology in both SFI and outside of SFI.

As part of smart working, you should be able to understand where you fall short and take adequate steps to improve by exhibiting a willingness to learn from past mistakes. Again you should be able to evaluate your progress by comparing result to stated objectives and where there are negative deviations, you should not be weakened by them but instead recalibrate your strategy to meet those challenges.


Business mindset

You have to see yourself as a business person rather than an employee of SFI. Developing an entrepreneurial mindset is concurrent with self determination and financial freedom as far as SFI business is concern. As an entrepreneur you have to show interest in understanding your business environment and be courageous to take responsibility for success or failure because shifting culpability to the wrong place does not encourage self reflection.


Team work

You have to be a good leader and a team worker because team building is an indispensable aspect of building a successful SFI business, so leadership by example is highly needed in this regard.

In conclusion, I will encourage you to assess yourself based on some or all of the above and if you have the wherewithal, then you have an incredible opportunity in building a successful business here. SO GO CONQUER!!

This question needs us to be just as honest and clear about our own potential as budding online business owners as it does about the relative potential of our chosen business. No matter what business opportunity you have chosen to invest your time and resources, any genuine business opportunity will need YOU as the main ingredient to create what is needed for ultimate success.

That's how business works and why working for yourself in your own business is not the same as working for someone else in their business.

In considering if a business opportunity is a good fit for you and your business goals, ask yourself some questions like:

1) How much time, energy and money will you need to invest to be able to generate a return on investment that meets your needs and your goals?

2) Are you willing to give the time, energy and money required to succeed?

3) If you make the necessary investment what is the level of risk to your investment and are you willing to take that risk for your future success?

4) Does this business give you the tools, resources, training and support you need to succeed?

So don't waste your precious time and energy investing in any of the "auto-pilot"online profit machine schemes you will find as you surf the web or in your spam folder. You can generate an online income if you have the right attitude and the right tools to help you succeed. But not on auto-pilot ! It needs YOU to take the actions and drive the processes necessary for online success.

Yes of course it is important that you are in the right business opportunity to begin with otherwise you obviously have no chance to succeed. But even in the "right"business you still need to have the right attitude and the right approach to succeed. Will you do what you need to do to succeed? Will you give the time and commitment necessary to learn about your business? Are you willing to give in order to get? Only YOU can truly know the answer to these questions.

This is why as discussed in a previous post Duplication is such a critical element in the SFI business opportunity. SFI is designed to enable any affiliate with the right attitude and approach to learn how to replicate and duplicate the required steps for success. That is how it works. You're earning potential with SFI is determined by how well you can learn and apply the same rules of success that others have used to succeed. Every SFI affiliate gets the same tools, resources and opportunity to succeed in building their own online business. What determines an affiliates success is their attitude and approach to their business opportunity.

SFI has been growing successfully online for over 16 years and clearly it works as a business model and it works in helping affiliates succeed. The only question you're left to ask is will you Work to succeed?

Good question
I guess every one of us has done some soul-searching to really know if they can build a successful SFI business
And once we ask the question, we are able to come up with the answers that motivate us …
Do you remember in college they taught something called SWOT analysis?
Don’t sweat about this
It is an acronym for STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS
1). Strengths to evaluate the attributes that you need to succeed in this business, e.g. entrepreneurship, ability to work without supervision, being a self-starter, having the patience of a farmer who sows seeds, then wakes up every morning and tends the crop for many years until harvest-time.
Skills-sets such computer skills, time to work, some money to invest.
2). Weaknesses – hahaha, this is the reason many sign up, they are active for a few days, then after some time, they fall by the wayside.
If you are not willing to start and tend your business daily by doing the tasks, advertizing your gateways, developing a team and motivating them, then SFI is not your business.
3). Opportunities – Look at this in2 ways. SFI has a wonderful system that works if you do. You can do business anywhere in the world 24/7 as long as you have access to the internet. This is a grand opportunity.
Consider all the people whom you meet and tell them nothing of substance. Maybe discuss the weather, politics, sports… issues that add nothing to your pocket. With SFI, you now have a wonderful subject that has the potential to give you some chums.. you just need to tell the people you meet, hi, I was introduced to this wonderful opportunity that I am working in part-time and the testimonials that I have seen from the people who have been working here longer are just stupendous.
4). Threats- consider all the things that would ruin your efforts. The one thing that comes to in relation to this business is the so many people who will talk you and your PSAs out of doing this business. It is a funny thing that people who fail to do things themselves will make up lots of excuses to mask their failure and blame the system.
The question really is, how badly do you want to succeed?
Whenever we want to do something, we will find a way. If not, we will be busy making excuses.
So, do you really want to succeed? If yes, there is no stopping
