I would tell them that the TO DO list is a tool for helping them form the good habits necessary to operate any successful business. It is sort of like leading them through the actions of "opening the doors" so to speak each day.
(1) ALERTS TAB-unlocking the doors and reading important information from government authorities
(2) TO DO TAB- shut off alarm system so you and others can enter and move around freely within the store
(3)TIPS TAB- important notices from "Head

Doing the daily 1VP is certainly not a waste of time. I can attest to that because since my credit card was compromised I have been off the standing order since February and have been able to use the daily VP to maintain EA status.

You really have to plan this out on paper. For each week you can earn an average of 143 VersaPoints. Therefore for a month it is 572 VP.
Use any of these sources to purchase single T Credits-
1. The accumulated commissions earned each month.
2.

Doing the Daily 1VP action is not a waste of time and the affiliate needs to understand this. He needs to understand the value of VPs for at least 2 main reasons -

- For rank qualification:

The VPs you get by completing your Daily actions are Action VPs. They are harder to earn than the Sales VP. You need to get your affiliate to understand this if he/she wants to advance beyond EA.

For all ranks in SFI, except DTL, there is a maximum amount of Sales VP that can

Hi Ovido!
To affiliate who thinks that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time, you must explain to them that in order to earn, they need VersaPoints to qualify. When those 1 VP add up, they help them to qualify. Each task earns them points and positions them higher and earn higher payouts!

Also explain what is TripleClicks Executive Pool and how it works. When they understand that VPs play an important role in shares, they will understand how important the 1 AVP is.

Hi Ovidio,

There are two different reasons why a person would say that doing the daily VP actions is a waste time.

1) The new affiliate doesn't really understand what VPs are.

I always compare SFI's daily actions on the To-Do List to working a job, because it is.
Many don't understand that they have been GIVEN a business, which means they are now a business owner. No one here at SFI must buy an expensive franchise, education or the tools to advertise their

Hi Ovidio,

Daily actions are there for a reason and ignoring them or thinking they are a waste of time will only make it harder for affiliates to understand the many ways they can benefit from what SFI has to offer. Yes, they can be tedious and boring at times, but these daily actions are absolutely necessary if we want to build a strong and lasting business based on knowledge.

Do you remember the story of the three little pigs and the lesson it teaches us? Two of the little

You and every affiliate has to see the big picture! It is not about doing the daily activities but it is how they are doing them that determines if it is a waste of time or not.

Waste of time is collecting VP from the red tabs without actually reviewing them or just skimming through them. Why do I say this? VP determines the commissions you will make and will determine your Team Leader Rank but earning money and team leader rank is a waste of time because you are not learning anything

Ovidio,

I think you pose a great question here. The idea that an affiliate would suggest that action is a waste of time is an indication to us that this affiliate does not understand the potential of action. Action is a key step in moving forward (as opposed to being idle and accomplishing nothing), building momentum and advancing towards our goals, whatever they are. Without action we cannot succeed. I think it is important to understand the importance behind why we are coached to

This is how I start my conversation with new PSA
If you have ever wanted to create a successful online business, you've come to the right place.
It takes experience - which can take you years to develop... or... which can be provided to you FREE.
The real test is not about earning in the first few months.
It should be about setting up your network and setting goals to start growing that nest egg.

This is why I love SFI. It is not about the money you might earn.

When each VP you accumulate has a value in terms of money, it cannot be a waste of time. More VP you get through your actions, your share in Executive pool is higher. It increases further with more affiliates maintaining EA2 rank for themselves in your team. That is through matching VP you receive for each of your EA2 and above rank they maintain.

This should itself be enough encouragement to collect VP on daily basis and moreover they come for free with just investing your time. Further
