What a great question.
After voting on it several times I decided to submit my own response.

I needed a mentor when I joined SFI, someone to show me exactly what to do from day 1.
My Sponsor finally contacted me days later, and tried to sell me something to buy.
Months went by with my own determination keeping me going, studying constantly.
Finally, I decided to contact my Co-Sponsor, and actually talk to him.
There were so many questions, things I had to know.
He immediately started reassigning PSAs and CSAs to me to build my downline.
It was much more than I ever was to receive from my very distant Sponsor.
I now have a lot more experience, still login everyday, still EA2, close to BTL.
I am now building my SFI team of team leaders, recruiting and training daily.
Once my team is up and running, like a "well-oiled machine" I might take a Vacation, knowing my future has been secured.
One of my PSAs reached STL in 2 weeks, another EA in 12 hours!!!
I cannot suggest you join my team, but I am always ready to help.
Find someone you trust, take advice from, and work with.

First, look to your sponsor/co-sponsors,
since your success is their success.

Then try the forum, the help desk, A2A,
and finally, Ask SC.

If you visit all these and make a habit of
taking notes and getting to know people.

Before you know it, you'll have a huge
amount of people you can talk to.

Have fun with your search:)

Hit the forum daily here at SFI, find leaders who freely exchange tips and training, and use A2A to connect and develop a more personal relationship. Not all of them will have time to devote to non team members, some have networks of over 100,000 affiliates and may not be as fast to reply to say and e-mail as they would a forum post. Don't be discouraged, some of us are very approachable with smaller success stories that you can grow with.

Be sure to engage peers. If you are a broke marketer look for broke marketers who have obtained some degree of success to duplicate. If you have a decent budget to grow your business look for members who use paid and free marketing to see more explosive growth in your business.

May success find you on the path to your desires.

Hello Damien,

I think you asked this question before really studying the information provided to you as you started with SFI. I think that perhaps the best term to use instead of mentor, is sponsor. The work of the sponsor is to do just that. Your sponsor is, technically, your mentor.

Beyond your sponsor, if you look around the site, everybody is everywhere. SFI and TripleClicks is a company full of people. We work as a humungous team.

You know, some neighborhoods consist of families and individuals that "mentor" or "sponsor" others in their neighborhoods. Think of SFI the same way.

I initially asked questions to whomever wanted to give me an answer. Believe me, I got plenty.

This very "Ask Sc" will give you so much it'll make you wise in quick time. The forum works too.

Make friends by going to a2a. Now that's a lovely place to find lovely people.

Hope this helps
All the best

When looking for a mentor for any business you need to consider a few things do they know what they are doing because they have done it themselves, have they already taught others to do it and did those they teach reach any amount of success themselves?

There are plenty of people who are told they need to fake it till they make it, this method is used in even highly recommended motivational courses, that cost lots of money.

So make sure your mentor is one who can actually offer you something of worth, there are those mentors that have not had success in FSI but have in other business opportunities some will be helpful whereas others might think they can go from one area to the next and the strategy will be the same, however it will not be the same, nor will it be the same for you by working with someone who has been successful in FSI for that matter because the final factor in your success and the success of your mentor is your own inner drive and motivation.

So the next and final thought from me to you would be are you in need of a mentor or are you in need of someone to keep you motivated to insure that what you are doing is constantly working for yourself to improve your own business and your own personal success, because believe me no one cares more about your success then you yourself.

As a small hint in the end find out what your why you are doing this for yourself once you know your why you will then become the mentor you are actually looking for yourself and if that doesn’t help you then wait till the answers are completed and look for the name at the end of this post and contact me.

So this might sound a bit far-fetched but it is definitely the easiest way to succeed in any network marketing business.

Become the person, the mentor you would like to find or have.

Good question.Easy answer but tricky to implement.
Your topmost upline sponsor is your best mentor.This person has reached the current level of being right at the top by doing few key essential things.
You will only know when you communicate with the person.Since you are in his downline team,it is also in his interest to help you grow in this business as that will make him more profitable in this business.So there is a mutual benefit.
I have done this myself.There are a couple of top upline sponsors whom I contact whenever I have self doubt or I cannot understand the lessons already in here.The answers I receive have helped me almost all the time.

REMEMBER-THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS! IT IS UPTO YOU TO KEEP SEARCHING TILL YOU FIND THE RIGHT PERSON TO HELP YOU ALL THE WAY!

When one looks for a mentor, they are essentially searching for a wise or trusted adviser who will guide them with their project or business in order to achieve their goals. At the point entry to SFI, our immediate contact is with the sponsor and co sponsor. Within a month or two one should be able to tell whether these people are giving you the support that you need.
If you find that your sponsor and co sponsor are lacking, you can always look up to your upline. In some teams there are upline members who are very successful and have helped a lot of their affiliates.
Furthermore, all the available resources at SFI such as training materials, marketing strategies, a2a and ASK SC can expand your wisdom an equip you with the very ideas that you are looking for in a mentor. In other words investing your time in reading and participating in forums are just as useful.
Where there is a will, there is a way!

SFI is full of mentors. Right from Gery Carson, to our Moderators (who are also Affiliates building their own businesses). The Forum too is full of people who act as mentors to everyone who cares to listen - via their answers to questions asked. A2A is another avenue for mentorship. The best way to find people to mentor you is to follow these people and ask questions of them ...most of them are very happy to help. Why settle for one mentor, when you can have hundreds of them?

Hi,

You can find as mentors as you would like. You got your sponsor, co-sponsors, A2A friends, support team and all the affiliates in the forum. Pick your choice.

However, their tips would be useless if you would not experience and put actions on their tips. Experience is the best teacher.

This Ask SC Answer and the Forum are the best grounds for learning. You will learn from other affiliates experiences and at the same time share their viewpoints to solutions you might encounter as you progress in SFI Affiliates.
