You can rely on your sponsor if and only if he/she is active, I would advise you to try and go through all the lunch pad lessons and sfi basics, learn as much as you can, understand how to become successful with sfi yourself. that way your success will not be determined by a sponsor. Take for instance for me I do not have a sponsor, I do not know if my Sponsor opted out but I am learning everyday and applying what I learn from great and wonderful family we have in SFI, I never regret relying on my own strength. I hope this helps.

While a sponsor may be able to provide useful information, training, and even (perhaps) access to some sort of resource (like skills or an occasional incentive), your SFI business needs to be reliant only on you and your efforts. Everything else is a bonus. Remember, your sponsor, much like you, is a human being, and human beings can be very unreliable--they even die! That means your success, in the end, depends solely upon your own actions. If you've got an awesome sponsor, be grateful, but don't rely on him or her.

One of most powerful tools to help people stay and work in SFI is the sponsor. This individual is there to offer guidance and support to a PSA.
The SFI sponsor fulfills a number of useful functions including:
This is an individual who will usually have more experience in the program than the PSA. This means that they will be able to share their wisdom and experience.
This is an individual who will offer encouragement and provide praise for achievements.
This is someone who can be a good role model for their PSA's
Most sponsors will tell their sponsee to contact them at any time of the day

In the beginning, you are entitled to ask everything and anything. Sponsor must be your guide and a friend. But you have to listen, research and learn independently. If sponsor is a great one, he will be there for you always, but I have learned a lot from my PSAs also. They are the best I have pleasure to work with. Sponsor may make mistakes, therefore it's in your interest to obtain as many information as possible. If she or he doesn't acknowledge or ignore mistakes then of course don't really on that person at all. Specially for those who don't understand English very well, sponsor is essential, but you don't want to be dependent, and let your decisions be made by others. Learn, read and listen well. All the best.

One of the most important guiding principle in SFI is that it is your business, the success of which is dependent on your own effort.Once you have learn the basics of the business and apply them, it will be only a matter of time before you reap the rewards of your hard work.
You don't need to rely on your sponsor to be successful, in fact most of the sponsors are themselves either way new to SFI, or are too busy with other more
" lucrative" downline members.So my advice to you is to take the bull by the horn and make your stay in SFI worthwhile.

The short answer is not to rely on your sponsor at all. If you rely on your sponsor you are giving away the responsibility for your business to someone else. Take responsibility for yourself. Of course you can ask advice or direction from your sponsor. In the end though, you make the decisions in your business.
You have started a business. While a Sponsor can be very helpful in providing guidance, especially in the beginning, it is best not to rely on that sponsor for your success.
To rely on someone else eases the sense of self-motivation. To succeed in this business, you need to be self-motivated, and self-reliant!
If your sponsor adds to your experience, great! Do not rely on him/her, though.
Think of your sponsor as a teacher. They are there to guide you and help you learn. You can go to them whenever you have a problem or need any type of support, but they cannot do the work for you.
This is your business and only you can make it a success. SFI is your textbook and provides everything you will ever need to succeed.
When you have a team they will look to you for support, and you won't want to be relying too heavily on your own sponsor at this stage. So learn as much as you can, and remember that help is always there when you need it.

Your sponsor will help you if you ask for advice. Your sponsor will help you if you have some problem. Your sponsor will teach you how to do your job as best as possible.
Do not expect from your sponsor to work for you. Sponsor is there to help and not to work for you.
Sponsor may refer you to the forum. Sponsor will show you how to run your business.
Do not expect too much from your sponsor and try to be self-sufficient.
