Hello,
To be successful in whatever one does, there is need for guidance from those who have been there before, hence to be successful in SFI. the role of once sponsor can not be underestimated;

For instance when I join SFI, I find it some how difficulty to navigate some aspect of this business, until my sponsor step in and explain fully.

Secondly, my co-sponsor was also of immense help, he was the one that help me to get the hang of price bender auction, spin and win and many other things I have learnt till now.

Lastly,some people have the ability to go without being guided, these are the go-getters who may not need much help from their sponsor, but let remember that to succeed at anything we need those who have succeed at it and those who are just getting going.
Sponsors are given for specific purpose... He who lack mentoring may ends up merry-go-rounding.
Thanks.

For my little experience, I think a good sponsor can help one to organize ideas, not to disperse, and gain confidence in working with SFI.

Most people doubt online programs and it is important to have someone show is real for their own results help guide and encouragement to one to move forward, despite setbacks, mistakes and lack of results, apart from the great flow of information to assimilate and manage to know it better.

I consider direct and targeted guidance is important to keep in SFI, regardless of knowing you are solely responsible for your business and our achievements.

For my little experience, I think a good sponsor can help one to organize ideas, not to disperse, and gain confidence in working with SFI.

Recently I could summarize the three things to grow pricipales are:
Sales, Sponsorship and duplication; In everything else that is involved in SFI for ranges, relationships, games, etc. (things that they are still important, but as a supplement).

Hello Sebastian,
To rely upon your sponsor will depend upon the following factors:
1. The leadership style
2. The support system
3. The rapport/ relationship with your sponsor.
Why all these factors is because these measure the true yardstick of your reliance.
When i say leadership style, what do i mean? I mean the way your sponsor provides direction and motivation to you. This cumulates the support system your sponsor offers to you and how you should rely on him/her.
The following are the major leadership styles i'l mention that are common:
1. A Laissez-Faire/ Freein leadership.
2. Authoritarian/ Autocratic.
3. Teamwork/ Maturity
4. Democratic
5. Coaching leadership styles.
If your sponsor is the type that is inactive and does not support you nor gives you a feedback. He/she operates on the Autocratic leadership style. Don't rely on such sponsors.
Some people will allow their new affiliates to groom the business on their own. They just show them the SFI website and that is it. Such sponsors work alone and can be successful. i call them self made men. They operate by the A Laissez-Faire leadership style. Such style is not so ideal. I'l advice you not to rely on such sponsors. Why? This is because not everybody can work alone and be self made. Why? Because our DNA make up, behaviour, experience and bringing up differentiate us. We have to differentiate between those who can stand alone and those who cannot thereby creating a balance and a successful business. Those i'l advice you to rely on are the awesome sponsors.
Who is an awesome sponsor?
An awesome sponsor who goes an extra mile to support and motivate his/her team to make them successful. He/she is there at the team's beckon. Such sponsors operate on the team work/ democratic/ coaching leadership styles where their team members can work with them and create ideas for the team as well.
These kind of sponsors are rare but they do exist. This is why SFI sends us tips and encourages us to be one. But not all sponsors can. So i'l advice you to rely on such ones for a season. What do i mean?
When a child is born, it depends TOTALLY on the parents. But as it grows, its dependency begins to reduce. Why? Because the child is gradually understanding its environment and relating with it. In the process, it discovers itself, abilities, talents and capabilities. With the training of its parents, it learns to do things on its own. Right there, it doesn't need the parents decision so much. It takes charge and explores its world. So likewise you. Just like we don't depend on our parents forever, so you also, learn to let go when your business legs are strong enough to carry you.
When you have known how to run the system and the business on your own , then detach. Explore your abilities, creativities and strategies.
Yes, you may make mistakes on the way. When that happens, reach out to your sponsor again for guidance, relying on him/ her from time to time.
From there on you build a rapport or a good relationship with your sponsor that leads you to a thriving and a successful business thereby passing this legacy to your team.

It is great to have a good sponsor, but I do not think that you should rely on them. Let me explain. In order to have a successful business you need to be self motivated. If you have questions, you can contact your sponsor, but there is also so many other means to get the answer.

I think it is to my advantage to get opinions of different individuals on how to solve a problem. SFI is awesome at this with your sponsor, co-sponsor, Forum, contacting SFI and even contacting Gery the owner himself.

A good sponsor is nice to have, but no one knows everything. I hope this helps some.

If your sponsor takes care about your moves, you should rely on him - meaning: listen what he is trying to teach you, watching what he is showing to you. It is his experience and a great will to help you. But it is you who has to explore, he is to help.

If your sponsor takes no action, you have to rely on yourself. Reading, exploring SFI center, learning. Then, SFI forum: there is no better way: talk to the people, ask, you will get all the help you need.

It is you, and your business. Make it. Grab it.

I am blessed with an awesome sponser who has been there for me from day one! He gives advice, support, and is available when needed! He has been patient and kind and has taught me to follow in his footsteps. However, none of his advice would have been worth anything if I was not willing to learn and to put that advice into practice. Even with a great sponsor and all of the tools provided by SFI, each individual must be willing to put their time, money, and hard work into their business or they will never succeed.

To become successful in SFI you must first rely on yourself,work on it by yourself,try to understand the concept of business and if you need help from sponsor that's the time you call their attention by sending email,asking their opinion and suggestion but never forget this is your own business, it is you who maneuvers the wheel,you have your own way and strategy to progress,you never know you might be more skillful than them in this business.

hope this helps.

The sponsor is there to help with questions about SFI and give encouragement. However, people should not lean heavily on a sponsor. After all, they are running their own SFI business as well.

Since this is your own business, it pays to constantly "cast down your bucket" to receive the information that SFI regularly provides on the web site. Sponsors appreciate, and are even willing to help someone more who is taking the initiative to educate themselves. I would suggest calling on a sponsor in cases where an answer is not easily found on SFI's web site.

In my opinion, we should try not rely to much on our sponsor. Yes, I do agree, they are there to help us, but when it comes down to the reality of things, it is your business and at one point or the other you will have to make decisions for yourself and your team.

Your sponsor(s) will advise you, but it is all you in the drivers. SFI, has so much information for you to succeed so, you will need to read, read, read, and do, to Succeed.
