I do not believe in trying to get your family involved in your business... UNLESS you are already doing extremely well... One of the things that we are taught is to attract your "warm market." I don't suggest going after your family or friends UNTIL you have already created a level of success. If things go wrong in your startup time period, then you will not only lose an affiliate, but you will also lose a good friend or close association with family. My advice... leave that alone.

Very good question,

In my own view if you are staying a joint family with same location ,then take prior permission ,it is not benefit for you.
But in other ways if u are staying in two different way then it is great benefit for you. You may contact more people from two different people.
You share more faithfully with your family members other then your PSA. You get much more benefit from them also.

Hope this helps.

This is extremely tricky question,but requires a logical answer.

First, You must look at your experience at SFI..Are you happy & enjoying your participation at SFI?
Have You been able to generate a decent & regular income from this venture...if your answer is YES! Just tell the 'whole world' including your family members to benefit from SFI...
But, if your experience is decimal...what are you going to say..I wonder?

I think that the members of your family will be your PSAs .
That is the same as s-builder Co-op.
What is more interesting for the family is that you'll have a new topic of discution rich and varied daily (example: auctions).
The TCredits can be rent ,used as an incentive, as gifts and also as a means of winning products for the family at tripleclicks auctions
It is also a way to broaden the parental relationships, marriage relations etc ...

Regards.

Personally I don't want to recruit my family or close friends into my SFI team. The main reason for me is because I don't want to cause he/she said/told you sold among family or close friends. Indirect friends or business associates would be fine to recruit, but again I don't want to cause problems between family or close friends. If a family or close friend member is not successful with SFI or spends a lot of money with SFI they may feel you have let them down. I think there's a lot more people

Hi

It is a good question. I can see many people answered you with many opinions.
I feel It is not a wise thing to recruit the family members. Because you are already purchasing through SO for the things which we need to a family. And If you recruit another member they have maintain the EA status by setting up the SO. You are paying for that also. But needs are limited in the family. Then your expense will grow high.

Instead recruit from other family near to you So it will

On the way to success in life, one must by one way or the other have responsibility of his/her family to cater for. To ease this burden, the best thing to do is to help the family members climb the ladder to success too. If not all members, at least one or two which can also help others. Remember that a the best giver is the one that teach you how to earn, not that the one that loves giving out of his own.

Good question!
I can suggest you that there is no single answer, it depends, it depends on the consideration that they have of yourself your family.
Often the excessive confidence that the parents have towards you, leads them to not take yourself very seriously, and then they say to us: family snakes! And 'one said. I think initially it is easier to engage a friend, relative farther than a brother or family closer. Only after that we will be able to demonstrate with a statement of the facts,

This has pros and cons
Pros:
A family member is easily assisted and monitored. You can work intimately with the person and so get him or her through the necessary details that will make both of you succeed.
Cons:
This may lead to unnecessary pressure from the sponsor who will be anxious to have prompt response and action.
Also, declining may cause some strain except the sponsor is emotionally stable

well in my opinion sharing and inviting family members  will be as simple as abc even though there may be some who may be skeptical and nothing beats being honest and show them what and how u are doing at SFI your current earnings and the potential in future as the saying goes put your money where your mouth is therefore by virtue of your personal endorsement coupled with SFI Impressive credentials and all will come in handy in your pitch and recruitment from your fellow family members
