A disabled person with no marketing skills can build a successful business with SFI by:
• Believing in themselves and their potential to achieve success.
• A willingness to learn and commit oneself,. No matter how long it takes.
• Having discipline, determination and perseverance to do the daily tasks required and more.
• Never leaving room for doubt and fear to creep in.
• Doing it! Taking action daily, even if it means you have to wake earlier, switch around your normal routine. take much longer than others, but do YOUR best.
• Doing it, no matter what obstacles you face, you look at them as strength building challenges that will ultimately reward you with a successful business and a team that you have personally motivated and encouraged to do the same
• Knowing having overcome disability challenges, you can truly be supportive of your team because you have laid all the ground work by proving it can be done. Promote your business

I say this as a partially sighted person who was so overwhelmed for a few minutes when I first saw the reading that's involved.

To make it work for me I have had to do all the following and more.
• Enlarge my text font
• Chance the contrast by making background black, white writing .
• Read everything at least twice. Accept help when I needed it
• Take frequent breaks because my condition causes me severe headaches if I stay at it too long and then my sight becomes useless for a while
• I keep myself motivated daily by thinking that every day is a good day to be alive, and where there is life, there is HOPE and POSSIBILITY.
i know I am blessed in so many ways. I also have a good Sponsor and SFI is GREAT!

Last thing, wake up with a spirit of gratitude (knowing you have more blessings than you can count on your fingers and toes) and you will be successful.

Hi Theodore,

How can a disabled person with no marketing skills build a successful business with SFI?

The same way anybody with no marketing skills builds a successful business with SFI - by learning and acquiring the skills!

Disability is rarely a disadvantage to working online. I know many people with disabilities who do so very successfully. In fact, for many, it may be the only option available to them in order to create a purpose in their life and an income to live on. Because of this, they will be very committed to becoming successful and will work hard to do so.

If they are confined to home much of the time, they may have more time to spend on learning and running their business, and will very much appreciate the social interaction that comes with it.

You do not specify a type of disability. All disabilities. and the people who cope with them, are not the same, just as all people without disabilities are not the same. Most people with disabilities find techniques, strategies, tools and resources to help them with their daily living, so they can live as full a life as possible. Many have strengths and creativity that non-disabled people don't.

I attended a webinar a while ago where one of the speakers had no useful limbs, was in a wheelchair and had no arms. She ran her successful online business using a mouth-stick to operate her keyboard and tools.

Someone who is visually-impaired may use speech recognition and website-reading tools to interact.

Disabled people are often accustomed to looking for solutions to overcome challenges. Because of this, they may be more investigative and used to reading about new developments. They will be no stranger to learning new skills.

They will often have a network of people they are connected with, through support groups, common interest groups, etc. and use the internet a lot to interact with their peer group. So they are already connected to a niche market to which they can promote their business opportunity.

People with disabilities may be more like the tortoise than the hare, for instance, they may be less able to run around handing out gift cards and get out canvassing for new ECAs, but they can still be persistent and patient, and committed to improving their life.

As we often see in discussions in the forum, success is less about circumstances and more about mindset and, unless the disability is one which severely impairs the function of the mind, a disabled person is equally capable of success, even if their definition of success is somewhat altered by their viewpoint.

I hope this answers your question, or at least gives you some understanding that people with disabilities are at least as capable of building a successful SFI business as non-disabled folks.

Hi Theodore,

I myself am disabled, I am mainly wheelchair bound and often bed bound among other illnesses.
I can work SFI from my bed, it makes me feel useful and even though some think it is a waste of time, others back me up because I am determined not to let my disabilities get in my way.
I can choose what is the best time for me to log in daily, I am learning a great amount daily which boosters my self confidence.

In actual fact, when a disabled affiliate succeeds in SFI the testimony will be stronger for those who are not disabled.
I want to prove to my family and friends, some who are also disabled, that we often use our disabilities as an excuse that we cannot achieve much in life. But the truth is, if we changed our way of thinking we can achieve much, others have succeeded then so can we.

I want my children to learn there is another way to live than just spending most of the lives working hard and have little time with their families...
So that gives me an extra booster to succeed with this Business.
Everyone has good and bad days whether disabled or not.

I would love to see more disabled people, succeed in SFI, with determination and confidence and believing in themselves.

So by all means, get the disabled involved in SFI it will do them good.

Hello Theodore

You have asked a very good & interesting question. Even I do not have marketing skills although I am not disabled. If a person can operate a computer, he/she should not be considered a disabled person. Marketing skills are not a must in SFI business. I myself have reached a level of BTL without any marketing skill.

He/she can also succeed in SFI just by doing the following activities:

1. Join some Social Media Websites like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Delicious, APSense etc. and post his/her SFI/TC gateways to his/her connections.

2. Join 5-6 good Traffic Exchange Websites and after loading her SFI/TC links on them, surf for 30-45 minutes daily to earn the credits free of cost. Then allot the earned credits to his/her websites on Traffic Exchanges.

3. Join 4-5 good Safelists and send some good ads of SFI and TC that are recommended in SFI Marketing tab.

4. He or she can make a free blog using simple instructions in blogger.com and then upload few banners pertaining to SFI and TripleClicks. He/she then can advertise his/her blog link in Social Media Network and in email signatures.

5. He/She should regularly log in SFI Forum to learn more about SFI, TripleClicks and other miscellaneous subjects.

6. If a person is determined to succeed despite being disabled and without having much knowledge about marketing.

Hope it helps
All the best !

SFI is a perfect job for people with disability. But there are two basic thing that he should posses related to his disability.

1. His disability does not prevent them from using a computer.
2. At least he can understand instructions.

If he don't have these two then it's quite difficult for him to be successful here at SFI. BUT if he has the two qualification I think he has more potentials to be successful because he know that probably this is the only kind of job that he can get.

All the rest in SFI that can contribute to our success can be done equally by people who have disability that has the two qualifications that I mentioned above and the normal people without disability.

Marketing skills can be learned as long as they want to learn it. We have a lot of materials inside SFI website about internet marketing and we also have a lot in the internet outside SFI websites.

There are even tutorials in Youtube and in some blogs and tutorial sites and fora. Just help them how to find them using search engines.

Most importantly be with your disable affiliate/friend in his journey towards successful SFI business.

Having some kind of disability, whether physical or mental, should not be a hindrance to building a successful business with SFI, even without any marketing skills and know-how.

SFI business is very learnable if one is teachable. For someone who is wheelchair-bound, for example, this is an ideal business opportunity as long as one has a PC and an internet access, has a burning desire to learn and make this business work and with plenty of time to spare this person can make SFI business a roaring success.

The disabled person can learn all about marketing from the pages of his Homepage which are easily accessible by clicking Marketing Centre for a start, to learn about marketing tools and aids. There are plenty of training tools and training articles to help as well.

SFI provides everything one needs to know not only about marketing skills but sponsoring and leadership skills that will benefit all.Support from a caring sponsor and co-sponsor will be invaluable in helping the disabled person to develop marketing skills by giving guidance and mentoring via Chat box, SFIM and weekly messages.

People with mental issues are capable of building SFI business. Depending on the kind of mental disability one suffers from, building SFI business can provide a means of relief from the hard realities of life as physical interactions with others can be avoided, but can enjoy friendly interactions with others in the Forum.

No matter what our life is like - able bodied, dis-able bodied, person with no marketing skills can participate in the SFI business.

The program that SFI is built on is one of shared knowledge. Everyone who is an affiliate has added to the growth of SFI for the past 15 years so all that is now with SFI is built on prior knowledge of what works and what does not work.

New affiliates joining have the opportunity to soar high with SFI. SFI is a universal program and the way we succeed is knowledge. We create our own knowledge by learning, observing and then utilizing all that we have learned and observed.

Marketing strategies are offered through various resources that SFI offers to all affiliates for free. We are able to learn marketing strategies when we learn from our Launch Pad Lessons, connect with others and read Forum posts, ask questions of other affiliates and up-line members, and use the Training tab available on our main affiliate page. Another resource to use are the posts that are on the Tips tab and Stream tab too - I also very much enjoy reading TeamMail messages too - all of which contain gems to help with improved marketing of SFI.

It is important that an affiliate is viewed as someone who has something to offer others. It should not matter the person's heritage, ethnic back-ground, religious belief system nor ability or dis-ability.

We are all in this together and the more diverse our affiliate membership is the stronger SFI will become as we need input from people of all walks of life to improve upon SFI today to make our futures stronger.

Welcome Aboard the best on-line business around!

This is an excellent question: I'm a disabled person but I think my primary disability is that I haven't acquired sufficient marketing skills - yet. Marketing, team-building, effective communication and Internet savvy are skills that can be taught to anyone. Those talents can easily be mastered irregardless of what physical disabilities a person might have.

What does it actually take to become successful with SFI anyways?

1. A person needs to have the personal drive and dedication to check in everyday to do the routine tasks that will earn points and ultimately build the SFI business one step at a time. Many able bodied people are truly handicapped because they don't possess the determination to become successful.

2. A person needs to have an optimistic mind to see that the road ahead is not short but that the course is straight. A disabled person has already experienced setbacks in life that non-handicapped person might have quailed at and they are already working through them. Conversely the path to succeeding at SFI is precisely the same for both.

3. Success takes team building and training your affiliates to duplicate your success and that requires communication skills. Unless the disability is in something that interferes with speech or keyboarding, a handicapped person is as able-minded as the able-bodied are.

4. You specifically mentioned marketing skills and I confessed that I haven't enough of those yet but the training in SFI can allow me to overcome that obstacle. In fact I think your question would be just as valid if the disabled aspect were removed from the equation. "How can an able-bodied person with no marketing skills build a successful business with SFI?" Both in the same way.

5. The final point I'll mention here is time and in this regard the disabled person may even hold the advantage towards being successful if they are on a disability allowance. That could mean the disabled person could build their SFI business on a full-time basis.

I suppose my overall point is that in many parts of life the disabled person is disadvantaged. Here at SFI though, the able-bodied person might be the one with the possible handicap as listed in point Number 5.

SFI offers to anyone including people with disabilities to make money working at home. Working at home is a popular choice for many people with a disability. It can be much simpler to work something flexible at home than to deal with whatever limitations your disability may cause at an office or other place of work.

As long as you have a computer and access to the Internet and the ability to self discipline yourself to regular working hours without distractions, you can build a successful business with SFI. SFI is not a get rich quick “system” but a full-blown business that you control.

Building a real business with SFI takes time and effort:

- The fundamentals and principles of SFI are laid out clearly through SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD. You don’t need to have a bachelor degree to understand the SFI system, but you’ll need consistency, determination and long lasting commitment.

- If you want to grow your business online, you must be willing to put together your goal, plan, develop a website, create content, and promote your site with your marketing strategy. You’ll also need to invest as much of your time as needed learning the SFI system.

- You need also to focus on the Training section which contains important topics for acquiring your marketing skills. You will need to dedicate your time in learning and applying all the knowledge that SFI provided for you.

- Furthermore disabled people can spread the word about their SFI business through various networking associations, partnering with other people with disabilities and pooling resources. They can also create marketing plans that help advertise their SFI business. Marketing should never be done in a haphazard way, but should instead be done through consistent, deliberate actions. This is the cornerstone of your SFI business that will help people with disabilities maximize their potential.

- They can also tap on other resources like disability business network in their community if available. Disabled organizations often produce seminars on the benefits of outreach, teaching business owners how to properly position themselves for success.

When I started looking for an On-line home operated business back in 2012 it was because I was disabled and not capable of working a regular 9 to 5 job anymore and it did not matter that I had zilch experience with marketing skills. Without going into reasons for my disability - I need to also state that my wife is physically impaired so I must spend a lot of time tending to her.

That is what makes SFI and TripleClicks Internet Marketing Company the best thing in my life right now. Despite any disabilities or handicaps I can work my home business just as good as a person who is in perfect health and shape.

In fact my disability is an added plus! I can devote more time to working on my business. Also my disability will be (and is) a testimony in action as to earning a great income even better than someone in a 9 to 5 Just Over Broke - job.

If you can read and poke buttons on your computer or smart phone then you can be a great leader and inspiration to your team.

Don’t let your disability be a hindrance to your success, rise above any physical impairment and prove to the world you are someone who is determined to achieve your dreams no matter how long it takes.

By the way – many SFI and TripleClicks affiliates have a mind-set that is more of a hindrance to them then the real disabilities that some of us may have.

Success comes to them who are persistent and determined to win – it does not depend on whether you are disabled or not.
