It is a good idea, especially because you will have easy communication with your family, and you will be able to support them in many ways which you maybe couldn't with affiliates from other countries.

But, you must be careful when inviting your family members into SFI, because of 6. point of our Affiliate Agreement, which says:

"6. A maximum of ONE affiliate per household is allowed. However, you may apply to be granted an exception for children or other relative(s).

Yes we should recruit our family members. It is a fantastic idea. You get to test your marketing, advertising & selling skills. You can ask them to evaluate these skills after you've finished with them.
Everything starts at home. I firmly believe that we should start advertising, selling and advertising at home. It does not cost any money. You might say your time yes I agree. They are your family members and it is done on a face-to-face basis. This is perhaps the crux of advertising when

Absolutely it's a good idea. Actually the one who introduced me to SFI is my father. He taught me how to gain more VPs and acquire badges and I enjoyed having lots of badges.

No doubt our family members can help us build our passive business empire succeed in no time. Because they are our family member we can talk and collaborate to them easily even we're not online, anywhere, anytime of the day. We can talk to them even during meal times and past times on how we can promote the business

It is always wonderful to work with people who are close to you. Your family or friends may make you or break you. Your family may discourage you with all negative talk in the name of protecting you, and some may be doing it out of jealousy that you are going to expose their incompetence when you prosper, remember Joseph in the Bible!

Your family members will have to see you growing in your new found business, they must see you earning, winning auctions and other prizes and they will beg

After all, SFI is open to all. And, creating a downline is a basically a numbers game. Therefore, communicating with everyone who has the ability to read and follow directions is prime. Family members may be your first Executive Affiliates with a standing order of 1500 Versapoints, creating a great support system for you and your team, due to their direct links to you and your persoonal goals. That is a postive aspect.

But, on the flip side(negative), family members may join your team

This is a very good question indeed. I would say, family first. Since SFI is a gold mine, it should go to your nearest people around you first. Who else if not your own family members. If we can take a good example from Chinese tradition, when they do business they are will try to get their family involve together. Even myself is not a Chinese person I could see the good value from it. Farther teaching his own son, to do the business and share the sweet and bitter from it. So far, SFI are allowing

This is a tricky one!

I would say YES and NO.

YES to all family members if you are successful in SFI and can prove it. If your monetary investment is smaller than your commission every month and your projections for near future look promising I would not hesitate to try to recruit all of them.

But, if you're still at the beginning and just started climbing the SFI success ladder:

YES to the family members that are close to you, that know your potential,

Yes of course, you should start with yourself, your family members & relative. Reason being you have confidence in SFI and its products, services, tools etc. Its a wonderful idea to start with.

We talk about helping your down line (PSA/CSAs). Why not to help your family members & relatives first? They will be always grateful to you when they succeed. But before that you need to be confident & satisfied with SFI. That's very very important

To be Confident yourself,
