Hello,

Regarding daily actions. Affiliates who think that the daily action VP is a waste of time could be the ones who want to achieve things fast and want to earn without effort. For these affiliates my answer is that patience and building your business step by step will surely lead to success.

Like an organism had to start with the basic unit , each Versa point is a cell, and important. For each and every VP earned we are paid. Each VP is important. Explain the loss ,

The first thing I would make affiliates understand is that the VersaPoints are the bloodline of the business. You need VersaPoints and you need to recruit other SFI affiliates. Even though 1 VersaPoint does not seem like a lot, when you follow your To-Do-List everyday, VersaPoints add up on a Monthly Basis and will help you reach your goal of at least 1500 VersaPoints a month.

Also just by getting your affiliates in following good habits on visiting their SFI affiliate center every day

Hi Odvidio,
I'm a bit surprised that Affiliates think that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time - because when they join SFI, all the Launch Pad lessons, and then Gery Carsons 'Rules of Success', will clearly explain how important it is to daily do the 'leg-work', i.e. the 1 VP actions.

I know its not every day we have new information on some of the TABS, but quite frankly it takes a maximum of 10 to 15 minutes to check out each TAB, unless you see something that catches

There are various materials in your To-Do-List (TDL) that are pertinent to building your SFI business, unfortunately you may not be aware of this but instead you may see it as just clicking away the tabs for 1 VP each. This may be the major reason you see it as a waste of time, but if you concentrate and take some moment to click on some links that teach you how to carrying out certain aspects of the business, like sales, sponsoring and referrals, then you will realise that your TDL offers more than

Wow, that one wonderful question, tough though but perfect.

Yeah, I have received so many complains from my affiliates about wasting their time on gathering 1VP. Its hard to explain to affiliates who are actually after quick money. The affiliates who thinks gathering the Free action points in their first month would get them rich are most likely to say that gathering 1VP is a waste of time and no matter how much you try only very few percent of them understands. Don't forget it will

Hi Ovidio Epifani, this is first time that I am answering to the ASK SC question, I do not know how much I am right or wrong in answering for the above question!

I would say if someone thinks “it is a waste of time doing the daily 1 VP action” then, that means he or she does not keep positive thought about SFI.

He or she has to be briefed few things about:

1. It keeps your day to day record that shows your attendance;
2. It is a door to get entry to the

A 1VP action is not a waste of time if the action when completed has been of benefit to the affiliate.

The affiliate can be reminded that:
1-It takes one VersaPoint to lose your TL status, meaning it takes only one to lose your commission and bonuses.

2-If you are short of one at the end of the month and there is no way to acquire it that one will break you.

3-It only takes one VP to lose your daily streak badge.

4-An unforeseen circumstance

The first thing I’d say to an affiliate who thinks that doing the daily To-Do to earn 1 Action VP is a waste of time, would be to ask him, how does one eat an elephant?
One bite at a time.

A Chinese Proverb: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

A baby learns to crawl before he takes his first step.

Everything in life starts with 1, not with zero. Without 1c there cannot be a dollar, it’s only still 99 cents.

Honestly, I say if anyone is not willing to make the sacrifice required to do the work, they can't enjoy the rewards. Doing the daily actions is never a waste when you have the big picture. It is easy to lose your way without this. Everything just gets blurred and you don't see the use. So what I recommend, is that everyday you remind yourself of why you choose to do this type of work. If it was to create a better lifestyle, then, everyday take 5 minutes to review what a better lifestyle looks

That is the wrong Point of View !!!

The purpose of the Daily Actions is to 'Learn to Understand YOUR Business' !!!
The action VPs are just a 'bribe' ;-)

The purpose is 'NOT' to earn action VPs - that is just a side effect :-)

The purpose is:
--------------------
1) SFI Management wants to tell you what is going on at OUR business.
a) learn about changes
b) read the News

2) You need to learn what the needs of Your downline
