Sometimes people just give up. Speaking from personal experience i almost gave up last month. One day I had a message in my alerts warning me I was not on track for 1500 VPs and could lose my CSA's. I was very upset because I was trying. Then I got a message from one person in my upline. She offered to help me . I explained I did not have the money to buy or bid. She gave me ideas about posting to get new members. For some reason I did not want to let her down and started rereading ways to get VPs.
I did end up earning my points by using the 5 tcredits I had and the MRPs I had earned. It was slow going but on the 28th I had enough points. I was very happy to have that alert go away. I post all the time but still have only 1 psa. However I keep going and someday it will break through and I will grow. I will say that when i read about people wanting to get rid of non performers i wonder if they mean me. So please don't think people who aren't advancing aren't trying.

Why don’t more people work towards advancing in SFI:

People who are joining SFI to see what this Free Internet Business is about? With this free hype in mind they join SFI, they expect immediate lump sum of money.

Many don’t want to put any effort, but expect overnight cash returns, These persons will become frustrated and don’t work towards advancing in SFI.

Some People who don't have internet, will find a hard time completing their task on SFI To-DO List.

Many People have interest in starting a business with SFI but due to lack of money to invest in order to maintain the EA status,they will be discouraged and drop out of SFI.

I think because of the language barrier and not enough assistance from their sonsor or co-sponsor some people due to lack of understanding of what to do will fail to complete the question on the LaunchPad.

I noticed many answers here to this question, but I think the main reasons are:
- the SFI affiliates do not ask questions or for help to their Sponsor, Co-Sponsor or to SFI for reasons which are not mentioned in the SFI rules; namley they do not ask for new rules which would be beneficial for their business;
- the SFI affiliates do not obtain an answer from their Sponsor, Co-Sponsor and the question is not possible to be solved by SFI (by submitting a ticket), being in the competence of the Sponsor or Co-Sponsor only;
- when it comes to purchase a non-digital product from TripleClicks, the shipping process creates fear: will the product reach me, or will it reach me in good conditions or in time...? Also, why is shipping process so expensive for such small objects like a cell for example?
- the duplication process is not so easy for every person, so not every one can get PSAs no matter how extensively links are sent;
- the allocation of the CSAs when the SFI affiliates advance in SFI is automatic, not taking into account to assign at least 1 ACTIVE CSA monthly for example; so, after one whole year or even more, the EA discovers lots of money invested, but no reward in active affiliates to sustain his/her work
Overall, it is very much a matter of communication, or of practically communicating and communicating sincerely and quickly in an electronically manner, on an e-site...

Some reasons should be considered when we try to investigate such a serious issue.

1.Actually, SFI ads impress the joiners so much and let them imagine that they will be money winners soon ! So, when they start to work and discover after a while that they have to spend months, and may be more to earn money, they get depressed regularly, everyone according to his/her patience and perseverance.

2.The available chances to apply the several actions are not even for all countries.

3.Some people are confused with the included complications in SFI programs.

4.Much people don't have the regular ability to invest their money in SFI.

5.The society from which the joiners come, is an influencing factor.

6.Most of contest are to earn VersaPoints or TCredits or MRP, few of them to earn money !

From all above, we can verify why many old affiliates, who have left very interesting and encouraging tips, are not advancing as well ?!

It is MINDSET. They need to have the 'WORK FOR OTHERS TO ACHIEVE MY OWN SUCCESS' mentality. Unfortunately there are few people who are educated in this way. They are taught 'LOOK AFTER NUMBER ONE' meaning 'look after myself before others'.

Without this mindset most people are not going to continue with SFI or any other business and be successful. You will see them flip from one business opportunity to the next and never make headway with any of them simply because they are 'SELF-FULL'.

As a sponsor it is YOUR responsibility to prepare and teach your team members the correct mindset BY EXAMPLE. Communicate with them, teach them, reward them. It is then their responsibility to carry YOUR EXAMPLE through to their own team members.

Through this process you will find your diamonds amongst the coal of humanity. The true leaders. The unselfish ones who give before they are ready to receive. EVERYONE has the ability to become a leader. Few are willing to take the responsibility.

I hope this is helpful to one and all

'A TRUE LEADER TREATS HIS FOLLOWERS WITH AS MUCH CONSIDERATION AS HE TREATS HIS CUSTOMERS'

Some people may have just sign up to see how quickly they can earn some money.

Also it may be that people might be struggling as time is hard so they really do not want to spend the time and effort,to learn and advance,also some people just look at the short term,and not the long term aspect of the earning.

But the most important thing to have to advance they will not spare the time to learn and then earn.Whatever is stopping people from advancing sometimes small things that can be easily taken care of.

Also some might try one too many internet business and they did not work out so they are cautious when it comes to spending again.

I know for me i try one internet business already spend monthly lost money did not make a dime,but that did not stop me from trying again. I mention this because some people just do not want to be dupe or fooled while some like us will give it our best shot and win big.

I do hope i may have answer this question reasonably

Many people enter from Traffic building sites where they are looking to advertise their own business with the points they earn. Those who do examine the site often don't see any way up front that they will make money soon, at least more than they spend.

Some of the people signing in take one look at the program and think this is too hard to do. It seemed simple to me when I joined, but this is the answer I have received from several people whom I have encouraged to sign up. Then SFI sends them a lot of emails and some people are turned off by the number of emails believing that there is no real money in SFI.

Some more people, who have no knowledge of what it really takes to build a business from scratch,look at it like a job and expect being paid like a job. Even though most new people probably don't spend eight hours a day working on SFI like they would a job.

Then there are those people who do know what it takes to build a business from scratch, and unless they see the vision right away don't want to put in that kind of effort. Their passion isn't there for this business.

Then there are those people who look at SFI as something other than the company visions it to be, and since the program doesn't work like they think it should, they quit. These are people who want to be more in control than SFI can allow new people.

Then there are those who put their all in it, but for some reason aren't able to get the recruits they need to advance. Their advertising doesn't produce for them like it should, or they aren't advertising like they should.

Advancing in SFI isn't easy, it is a long row to hoe. Even if you follow the guidelines and read all the information that you can, you still have to plug away, and SFI makes that very clear with their emphasis on the daily items, even to the point of timing them so that we have to wait. This is SFI's attempt at modifying our behavior so that we read because we have to wait for the button to change.

SFI is really a program for sheep. That is for people who will blindly follow a leader. Even cows have a pecking order similar to SFI. In fact most businesses who depend on sales, have had some form of MLM for many years, only it wasn't called by that name. You were a salesman, then if lucky promoted to sales manager and so on up the line. The more sales people you had under you the more you were paid.

Even the US government is built on MLM lines, in that your income directly depends on the number of people you supervise. This system makes power more important than money.

You have to see the vision that SFI not only provides you a vehicle to build money and with money, power. The power comes from the respect you build up through the way you treat your downline. The more power you develop, the more money you make.The better informed you get, the more you can reach out on the internet, build your brand and develop even more money and power over your own business.

Hooray for the opportunity, and I hope all of you reading this gain a perspective that helps you advance in SFI.

I believe the number one reason for individuals not advancing here at Strong Future International is lack of belief. What I didn't understand is that it will take years until I build a downline of BLT in order for me to make an income stream. I currently have 62 individuals in my downline I would say 50 are CSA and the rest PSA's. However out of my 62 so far I only have one EA2, which made me realize that getting the 5 individuals they inform you need and then get THEM to get 5 and so on will not take me 8-9 months, but rather 2-3 years!

Second truth to creating this business is that you need to spend more money than you make for the first year, I have only been doing this since last November and have yet to have a profitable month.

Third is I sometime wonder if some profile here are real, you see a few new members reach the PTL in 1-2 months? They make me wonder about if SFI creates those to give the rest of us hope? I sometimes send messages to those profiles asking for advise and have never received an reply message, that is the reason behind my thoughts. If I can't get 5 out of 62 affiliates to reach EA2 level in 7 months how does somebody here 2 months get that to happen?

Fourth reason people don't advance like myself I advertise as much as possible send links to people I know to join up, get inquiries from other sites I'm affiliated with and still nobody joins up. You can't advance without people joining it is 100% impossible! I feel SFI should allow individuals who have been here like 1 year on that date should give them 1 FREE promotion to the next level. After all if your not making money owning a business be it a physical building like a book store OR an online business like here at SFI you have to close!! I feel that is what happens to a majority of affiliates here at Strong Future International they go out of business just like a physical location!!

I have thought about this question for a long time.
I can only find 3 reasons why members do not move forward with SFI.

1. Lack of commitment.
2. Lack of desire.
3. Lack of will power.
4. The secret

Less look at #1 first. When you signup for SFI, you do it because you have a dream. Whether that be the dream of owning a new a house are maybe a car. But there was a dream there. A big percentage of people look at a dream as a passing faze. So when they don't get immediate results they move on.


#2. You must have the desire to build your business no matter what obstacle's you face..

#3. You must be willing study and learn This is the main obstacle's most people face.

#4. Which is the most important one I think. And that is to learn to recognize the opportunities for achievement and success when they come. Most of the time these do not come in forms the eyes can see. But in ideas and mind achievements. Let me clarify: I have been wanting a smart phone for a long time. But I was not willing to take money away from my business to get one. So I kept it in my mind that this would be one of my rewards. And yesterday one was given to me, all I had to do was activate it. In other words I never let it enter my mind I would not have one. Believe you business will grow you will have success. Put all the faith you can gather up into it and it will come true.

Good question,
Firstly, you must understand that life in general presents opportunities equally to every individual; but not every person will see that opportunity and take it quickly.
So it is with SFI, you must realise the opportunity and take it quickly.
In realising the opportunities, one has to first of all follow the steps listed in the rules and SFI basics as well as the launch pad. Unfortunately, not many people are willing to do this and in addition their sponsor who may already have so many other PSA's is not forthcoming with support and so the new affiliates loses interest and falls back.
On the other hand, if a new affiliate does not take off on time by participating in the E365 challenge as well as benefits in tripleclicks and other SFI programmes, by the time he is convinced to continue, he may have lost out on some of these starting bonus and benefits. Then it becomes more difficult for him to catch up and this also cuts short his capacity to continue in the SFI business.
I think these two points are the main reason why more people are unable to work towards advancing in SFI, because once you are starting well in SFI, every other thing becomes a routine and once yuo see your progress, it becomes a motivation even for more advanvements.

Hope this helps.
