"Should a person go for the rank of Team Leader if they don't yet have a team?"
I did this when I first joined and then struggled to maintain the level after the first few months. I don't think this is a good idea as it costs money to maintain and there is no benefit if your team is inactive or non-existent.
My suggestion is to wait until you have enough regular EA2s in your team so that you benefit from matching VP. You can gauge when that is by studying your scoreboard page. Then when your team sees you move up to TL and you write about it in your blog and leadership page, they too will be motivated to keep growing their businesses and do the same thing.

Being team leader is very important. I'd say if you go team leader your first two months, go for EA2 and BTL (TL2) your first and 2nd month.
Your first month become EA than BTL. Your Second month become EA2 (EA 2nd month qulififying then TL2 (BTL 2nd Month qualifying.
1st Month
Gain 1500 SVPs and/or PVPs and 1000 in AVPs become EA
Gain 2000 SVPs and/or PVPs and 1000 in AVPs become BTL
2nd Month :: Maintain EA and BTL to become EA2 and TL2
Gain 1500 SVPs and/or PVPs and 1000 in AVPs your 2nd month become EA2
Gain 2000 SVPs and/or PVPs and 1000 in AVPs your 2nd month be come TL2
Each month be sure you are building your team and helping them to EA2. This will gain earnings that you can only get as EA2 or higher and only if they are EA2..
Yes becoming a leader first and building your team is what will help profit and flow..in turn increasing your income.
The answer to your question varies from each person financial capacity and dedication.
One can advance to Team Leader rank easily by investing money and working full time. But it is hard to maintain the rank and you can easily fall out from it.
On the other hand you may opt to wait, until you have a strong team at least 2 or 3 PSA/CSA on hand that are eager and very active in achieving their goals with this your burden in maintaining your rank will be lesser because you have a team that is working with you along the way.
With this options I hope I have given you clarity on the direction that you are paving.

This is a great question. You're going to get all kinds of different answers.
My answer will be brief and to the point. NO, you should not become a "Team Leader" if you don't have a team.
Why? Because, as the title suggests, you will be a "TEAM" Leader. Not just a leader, not just an affiliate, not even an Executive Affiliate. You would be a TEAM LEADER. And without a team, only the title, in essence you're lying to your recruits.
Many people suggest that by having this rank and badge, it lends more credibility to your business, I must disagree. I believe that it's disingenuous to recruit a new member under the ruse that you're already some type of "expert" just because you happen to have greater buying power than most people who join SFI, including your new members.
Follow the "The Plan" https://www.sfimg.com/the_plan and your Team Leader Rank will take care of itself.

If the person has a first level Team of EA2s and the Second level Team of EA2s then investing in becoming a team leader will become worth. One gets matching versa points after being a team leader.
Additional benefit of Team leader status is share of second home CSAs. Here there is a double benefit. You get chance of earning commissions on purchases from CSAs and Versa point matching of EA2 CSAs.
It all depends on person to person how one looks at this opportunity.
Without a ACTIVE team of EA2s it is not cost effective to maintain the Team leader status

A person should go for the rank of Team Leader as a natural part of exploring SFI; I personally attained the role of Bronze Team Leader before I had a single active affiliate. It rewarded me quickly by providing me a share of CSAs with whom I could practice communicating, and that made my skills stronger, so that I knew how to better contact my first PSAs. I am glad things happened in that order.
I believe that with SFI you don't need a team first before being a Team Leader. SFI trains you by having you dive in the deep end of the pool and then watch how you manage. You have your csa and psa mailers to get any advisories to the team, even a team of one. The whole idea of being a team leader without a team you have help from the forum, from your uplines, from the articles that are read. You are never alone in SFI so just ask a question and you will receive an answer by thousands of persons. Take a little of each person's advice and make it your own and you will definitely swim rather than sink. Noone wants to see you fail in this business so don't ever be afraid to contact your uplines they will always be happy to assist in whatever way they can.

Should a person go for the rank of Team Leader if they do not yet have a team? Go boldly forward and grab "the bull by the horns!"
1. If you have your own business and you are ready to invest money - you have to be a leader! Show and advertise your business.
2. If you rely only on your hard work and desire to master the business knowledge and skills they need to wait to form a team!
In both cases, you get powerful support of their mentors and SFI - onward and upward! Have a success business!

"Should a person go for the rank of Team Leader if they don't yet have a team?"
As I can read many answers on this question suggest to not to go for a TM status until you have a team. But I do not see WHY NOT to go for that status immediately after signing up and maintaining it for at least 3 months. That gives you two of the greatest advantages right on start, and you should use it to build your business:
1.) As you may already know you got package of CSAs when you confirm your Team Leader status (greater TM status is, bigger package you get). This way you will be given YOUR TEAM to work with. Is not that fantastic?
2.) you got recognition as a team leader which brings you more brand new interactions and connections with people within SFI, which is extremely valuable for you as a SFI starter.
So as you can see, TM status is not just award for leaders who build a big team but also one of the greatest start-up strategies within SFI to start building one of the best businesses you will ever have.
