This is a question of getting support from your family members with your SFI business. How to get your family members support your SFI business without them becoming affiliates may not be as difficult as you may think.
Important points to consider before getting your family members involve in your SFI business:
- You need to understand that they may not know as much as you about your SFI business.
- Give complete information about your SFI business to your family members. In this step you’ll be able to answer their questions and clarify any misconceptions in the type of business you’re engaging.
- Share with them what you are looking to receive from your SFI business in the long term.
- Let them know with the extra money you earn, you can supplement your income to meet other important financial needs such as putting away money for your emergency funds, retirement, paying down car loan, saving for your children college education, etc.
- Be more specific on your objectives for asking them to get involve in your SFI business. If you can communicate with them clearly why you’re doing SFI, you’ll probably win their support. Who wouldn’t want a family member succeed in making his/her life better?
Here are several ways to get them involve:
- Once your family members learn the importance of your SFI business and the people connected with it, if you’re not home and if a person connected with your SFI business or a prospect likes to meet you personally or talk to you over the phone, your family members can deal with him/her in a better manner.
- If you’re more involved in meeting prospects face to face doing presentations in an open-house setting or attending networking events, your wife could be a good partner. Because she now understands what you’re looking to receive long term in your SFI business, she’ll help you to prepare organizing your open-house session.
By doing this, she’ll learn more about your SFI business and talk to people over the phone when you’re not at home. She’ll begin to understand your problems/challenges and she can give her suggestions or solve those problems.
- She can play the role of a trustworthy assistant in growing your SFI business and the entire family would benefit from this.
- You can also ask her take part in networking events, meetings and seminars. In this way your wife will understand the meaning of wearing a dress code and talking in a proper manner.
It’s important that you map out a plan on the time that you’ll spend on your SFI business, if they will help and how they can help, always stay in communication. Share your schedules and make sure they’re aware of your meetings with prospects or networking events.
Most people who joined SFI are not all alone they have families, this kind of business is all about relationships. Your spouse, parents and children are important relationships that can grow together through your SFI business. If they are willing to help share with them some areas you could use their help. Lean on each other's gifts and talents. Maybe you can ask them to help with specific tasks that you know they would be good at.
When your family is on board building your SFI business comes so much easier as the pressure is relieved so that you can focus on building your network connections. Do whatever it takes including the strategies above to win your family’s support and you’ll be so much happier sharing the dream you are building with those who mean the most to you.
