Hi Robert,

The big picture lies with the individual. If you or any other Affiliate want to make it big or their SFI business to be Successful. there is so much work that needs to be done, but you need to work smart.

What picture are you creating? Once you know what picture you are creating for yourself and your family the Sky is the Limit.

Use SFI training to your advantage. Follow the Rules, work with the Affiliates that working. Invest in your business. Purchase the things that you need or want from your business.

You want to Make more Money then read, read, read and follow instructions. Once you have a strong team that are doing what you are doing your SFI business will be a success.

What you preach, make sure you are a living example. They will hear you, but they are more looking at you to see what you doing.

That is the big picture right there.

Success to you.

My "big picture" with SFI is turning it into a successful home business so I can leave my day job and focus on enjoying my retirement. In order to do that, I have set some goals for myself that I work on every day.

First, I always log in every day and earn every possible VP. I have not missed a day since I started with SFI over a year ago and I am pretty proud of that. I have made logging into SFI every morning a habit, and once it becomes routine it is easy to maintain.

Secondly, I maintain a standing order for 1500 VP. This costs $36.50 a month and it is something I make sure to budget for. My goal is to maintain Bronze Team Leader status every month and I have been able to do that for a few months now.

Third, I monitor and vary my advertising. I help mitigate my investment cost into SFI by advertising at free traffic exchanges that also pay me for surfing. This takes less money out of my pocket every month and keeps me motivated in my advertising efforts.

Finally, and very important, I work to mentor my PSA's and CSA's. I never give up on any of them, even if they are inactive. Sometimes it takes a while for the time to be right for someone to start up a home business. SFI takes work and effort, but I think it is well worth it and I am convinced this will be my way out of the day work world and into a successful retirement business.

Wishing you much luck and success!

When looking for the “big picture” in what you are doing with your SFI and TripleClicks to become a success, you need to look beyond the tools that are provided for us.

You see, you can have the greatest Internet Marketing tools in the world (which SFI freely provides) and even have the head knowledge to know the best way to use each of the tools; it will do you no good in building your business if you do not have the characteristics needed to reach success.

What is needed:

• Honesty: Using hype, false claims, and distorted facts will lead you to failure.

• Perseverance: This is the ability to stick with it no matter how the battle goes.

• Having a positive attitude: If you can’t be positive in your business I can positively tell you that failure will accrue.

• Persistence: You must never give up until success is achieved.

• Charity: (Love) – help others achieve success that will surpass what you are trying to do.

• Always lead by example: Never under any circumstances ask your teammates to do something that you are not willing to do yourself.

• Action taker: Don’t wait for your ship to come it – Swim out to meet it or make your own ship.

There are many other things that can be listed here but I believe the point has been made and that is the big picture to your success is what you carry within yourself and the ability to put it all to good use.

I see in SFI a clear, motivating big picture: building a long term, sustainable, highly diversified, successful business, while helping others do the the same. All the sales activity, the sponsoring of new affiliates, the referring of ECAs and PRMs are essential components of that big picture vision.

In doing the above, we are laying the bricks to raise our first wall. Helping our PSAs and CSAs to duplicate our work is the next step. But, working on the big picture requires more. It calls for involving all the downline

The third step is the mentoring, and the support I am providing to my entire team, including the second-12th generation members, helping them see "that big picture", and teaching them duplication. The genealogy filters afford us with the tools to identify the most active affiliates in those generations and focus our supporting efforts to benefit them by sharing our experience with them.

That is the most important part to bringing the "big picture" alive: sharing the vision of how successful an SFI business can be and what to do to make it happen.

I view real, meaningful achievements for an SFI business, in building a team of several generations of Diamond Team Leaders (DTLs). I will not slowdown until I have several DTLs in my downline, going as deep as I can envision.

As the big picture exists already, the rest is a matter of how we are applying the guidelines, working to uphold the rules of success and the directives to grow our business. We have a clear path. We just need to follow it.

There are also practical aspects to take into consideration: a thorough knowledge of SFIMG, all the resources and tools available within, how to fully take advantage of as many income streams as possible.

Similarly, we need to develop the communication,, leadership, sales and technical skills that are the most beneficial for building a team and mentoring a downline.

Finally, it would not hurt to have a website, run and blogs and be social media savvy.

All of this is work in progress. It is the essence of what we should be focusing on all the time we are active SFI affiliates.

Good day Robert,

The things that I am doing to make my SFI business a success is simply Setting my goals, planning and co ordinating to achieve my goals set.

Looking at SFI generally, its a Long term investment. People who join initially either log on out of curiousity, some thinking that simple tasks would amount to the big bucks while some think it might be a scheme to get rich easily.

For me, the things I do and tell my downlines to duplicate which has worked to make both my business and theirs a success is:-

1. Ensuring I log on daily to do my daily, weekly and monthly tasks. This little drops are helpful for building ranks.

2.Setting up a Standing Order to make EA status at ease. Either by 125 t credits or 100 t credits with 1500 VersaPoints and 1200 VersaPoints respectively.

3. Recruiting new affiliates via Social media (facebook, twitter and pinecrest), warm marketing and word of mouth.

4. Playing Eager Zebra Games enabling me to send friends challenge. Killing 2 birds with a stone as they will be my PRM as well as my New Wave 3 recruit.

5. Post my links on both free and paid advertising sites.

6. Buy PSA 2 go, Bid for PSAs/CSAs in auctions and buy at least a share of the s builder co op.

In summary, building a solid team is very important as we are gradually building a residual income. This alone gives us the drive to achieve our desired goals, motivate/encourage our downlines to see the big picture that SFI is the real deal.

Hope i was able to help.

All the best.

How do you make sure you're thinking about the big picture, when it seems that you're always working on a lot of small things that seem to take up all your time?

Your normal routine tasks such as performing To-Do List, responding to your team members' questions, participating in the EZ games, sending weekly support messages,congratulating team members/posting your words of encouragement through your Stream tab, etc. May seem to appear trivial but they're important activities in contributing to the overall success of your long term goal.

It’s so easy to find yourself running out of time, especially if you're doing SFI part time, while holding on to your full time job to get lost in the weeds at work. While being busy has its place, it’s equally critical to look up: to reflect on how things are going, to consider alternative strategies, and to ask yourself important questions that will shape your future with SFI.

You need to devise a strategy for the big picture things that you should be focusing to make your SFI business a success. Here are steps that you can do:

- Give yourself time to think.

Have you given the time lately about your path and ways of doing things in SFI? If you allow yourself to just do what’s next on your to-do list, you’ll never find the time to think about the big picture—there will always be something that feels more urgent.
Allocate time in your daily schedule plan based on when you’re most creative time (morning, afternoon, evening). My big-picture thinking time is when my mind is most inspire and relax and is usually late in the evening.

- Find someone to interact about your SFI business.

During your thinking process you encounter a stumbling block: it’s hard to sit down and force yourself to think.The best ideas often bubble up through the course of conversation, so it’s valuable to find another person to think with and bounce ideas back and forth. I find SFI Forum a valuable tool for this purpose. By just reading the posts, following the threads and interacting with other forum members, I find it very helpful in overcoming stumbling blocks.

Alternatively, you can have a conversation with yourself by asking the big questions and writing down your answers. You'll be surprised to find yourself having long, strategic, and productive dialogues by simply writing out questions and answering them in free-flow form.

- Generate Ideas

You can start your thinking process by asking questions such as, what could be the most ambitious articulation of your goal. One of the most valuable outcomes of thinking big is being able to step outside your comfort zone, away from the day-to-day routine.

Here are bigger picture things that you should be focusing to make your SFI business a success:

- Try to envision what would the world look like when your goal has fully manifested. The steps to get there can sometimes become more obvious when you start vividly imagining the desired outcome.

- What would it be like when you finally attained financial freedom?

- What would you do after you've bought back the time, being free from working under someone else?

- What are you going to focus on with time in your hands and have regained control of your life?

Write down the answers to the questions above to help you capture in your mind what exactly do you want and what's in your heart. Set them in front of you, as you go in your daily routine with SFI or anywhere you can easily read them in your home office.

These are only some of the bigger pictures that you should vividly store in your mind to inspire you to succeed in SFI.

It is the small steps that you take on day to day basis eventually contributes towards the success of the business which you can term them as “big picture things”.

To make your business succeed at SFI you have to be proactive from the day you join it.

In the beginning you may not have the apt knowledge to take it further but your attitude and fire in the belly would make you learn the secrets of the trade. SFI, Sponsor, Co-sponsor, Forum, a2a friends would be your life line to assist you through any tough situation and take you forward.

But, it is “you” who would determine the level of success you attain. To be successful you have to concentrate on following:

1. Be a EA2 and subsequently a team leader
2. Be an awesome sponsor
3. Exhibit an ever progressive profile in all facets of SFI
4. Think like a smart entrepreneur

Now, having known what you are supposed to be? You should also know how to attain it?

To achieve a rank, you have to gain Versa points as per the qualifying norms. To reach to that stage you should do

1. Your daily, weekly and monthly tasks regularly
2. Become a Fast track Member to receive greater mileage in your business.
3. Be active at Tripleclicks in purchasing and selling products; EZ games and PB auctions.
4. Build a team of active affiliates.

Combined with your efforts you would be able to surpass EA2 and move towards BTL rank which can be improved upon subsequently as you grow your team and business.

To be an awesome sponsor you need to set up a duplication system in your team. To achieve that:

1. You have to be a patient trainer
2. Skillful communicator.
3. Persistent motivator
4. Constant Care taker

This would help you achieve the best results from your team members. To know more refer link : https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=191295

For exhibiting an ever progressive profile in all facets of SFI, you need to be an example setter and set a profile page which can be looked at with awe and tempts others’ to duplicate. To attain this:

1. Increase your ranks months after month
2. Attain and improve on your badges list to showcase an awesome profile
3. Have an impressive Leadership page
4. Feature yourself in the winner’s list where ever applicable day after day.

All this done with élan, would take you towards the path of being a successful entrepreneur. You have to take your team along with you as you would succeed only if they are on the path of success. Support them stand on their feet and guide them as they move on.

You can also refer to answers submitted for the question “What exactly do you do other than the daily To Do List to really succeed in SFI?” for insight of day to day tasks you should do to succeed in your business at SFI.

I would like to answer this with some examples that should make this interesting reading. "Nick Vujicic, a motivational speaker in one of his talk says: Just because you cannot see the train coming, does not mean that it will not come"

The first big picture action is placing a "Standing Order" - you cannot see the long term benefit immediately but 6 months or 3 months into your business, when your down lines also have a standing order, you will realise, your investment was every bit worth it.

Climbing mountains for people who have never done it is not easy but they still overcome great odds to be at the top of Mt Everest - some lose their lives in the process!

Impossible tasks like "selling" or "marketing" for those prospective affiliates who think they cannot do it is easy once you start talking. In the process, whatever your initiatives maybe will pay dividends later.

You cannot create big picture opportunities without dreaming Big and then implementing what you desire to accomplish.It starts with the little things; one short email, one e-card, one presentation, one active affiliate. This is how it all builds up to get together a successful venture - it can be any business. SFI is an exception because you have the support of successful people behind the scenes who help you to become successful. This is the Big picture many people need to see.

That is an interesting question. Here is what I am doing beyond the basics (doing the To Do List everyday).

1) Everyday I check both my Movers list and my Genealogy to see who is working the business.
2) I see if I can catch the movers online.
3) I send out new Stream messages to all my downline daily (7 days a week)
4) Every new CSA or PSA in my group gets a welcome letter
5) If I see a new PSA become active, earning at least 250 VP, I will send them 10 TCredits and reassign 5 PSAs to them. The 5 PSAs will allow them to pick up 30 VP each week for communicating with their new downline and supporting them.
6) If I see a new CSA become active, earning at least 250 VP, I will send them 10 TCredits.
7) If I see they are getting close to EA or EA2, I will coach them on possible ways to cross that line.
8) I will advise them about the magic of being a Fast-Track member and purchasing NMP.
9) I will tell my new people the strategies I use to win at EZ Games and PB auctions.
10) I acknowledge them whenever they move to the next level in the business.
11) If they reach EA or EA2, I will add their name to my co-op so they can get new PSAs each month.
12) I purchase 100 - 500 PSAs each month that I route to the people in my co-op.
13) I encourage everyone to advertise to generate more PSAs and TripleClicks sales
14) After they reach 500 VP, I will detail exactly what to do next to make EA and beyond
15) I show them how to go TL Platinum in two weeks using Fast Track and Standing Order
16) I make sure they know that they can contact me whenever they have a question, but I also encourage them to use ASK SC and the Forum to answer their questions.
17) I encourage them to give out TripleClicks gift certificates
18) I share my SFI website with them and tell them how to develop a similar one of their own
19) I encourage them to check out TripleClicks, for it is their store.
20) I encourage them to watch closely as the business grows, and to note the new people in the business who are achieving TL Platinum - some of them have only been in the business a couple weeks!
