One of the leading factors that can influence this, is the rate at which any affiliate duplicates himself.

SFI is majorly a multitude venture. Which means that the more (dedicated) people you have on your team, the faster you're likely to achieve success.

To elucidate, I'd like to categorize SFI affiliates into 3 parts:

* Those that already have pre-knowledge of internet-marketing before joining
* Those that don't, but grasp the essentials rapidly
* Those that take a much longer time to understand what it is all about.

When some join SFI, they set out with full determination; recruiting people to join their team (affiliates), people to shop at TripleClicks, people to bid at Pricebenders auctions, people that can build online stores (ECAs) etc. The more people he/she eventually attracts will ensure that commissions start pouring-in, because VP is bound to increase rapidly.

On the other hand, some only succeed in recruiting a few people, while some don't succeed in getting anyone to join either SFI or TripleClicks.

Now, people who have pre-knowledge are most likely to launch into this mass recruitment mode, and are very likely to succeed in shorter periods. The same applies to people who quickly understand SFI, and start taking steps. Unfortunately, some people ether never get to understand what it takes, or just limit themselves to the basics (tab reviews). These people are likely never to reap the full benefits of SFI.

As a personal motto in SFI, always remember 'There is power in numbers'. For me, 'THE MORE, THE (FINANCIALLY) MERRIER.

Hello Everyone,

When stepping into a new venture, especially if it is a unknown type of venture, it takes time to totally understand what this new venture is all about.

One could be stepping into the world of the unknown and they must start from the very beginning in learning the process and being able to totally understand and comprehend what is necessary to be able to move forward towards success.

Which would mean that one must learn and work all of the basic steps just to get started in order for them to be able to move forward. And this of course takes time which could not possibly be done in just weeks.

To whereas if someone who is more experienced in the sponsoring and sales positions, it would be much easier for them to progress in moving forward quicker and for them to be able to establish themselves towards success in a quicker amount of time.

I don't think that there should ever be a time limit on working your way towards success.

Success takes time, education, work, perseverance, commitment and dedication, which could not possibly be done in just weeks.

Hope this helps.

I agree that some affiliates find success with SFI in just weeks, while for others it takes months or years.

The basic reasons are three:

1. Main reason is your commitment & perseverance towards SFI. It you are committed, you will immediately Get Started, login daily. Read SFI Basics, Go through Launch Pad & get connected to your upline & inform him/her about your commitment. Carry out all activities as directed by SFI or your upline

2. Some people may not be good academically or may not understand English well. Despite their commitment, they may take little longer to understand SFI Business.Their upline may also not guide or support them well in time. So they will take more time to be Successful.

3. Finally, your financial position matters a lot. How fast you become an EA and start investing in other streams like S-Builder etc. But finances should not deter you from becoming successful. Keep learning more & more being a free member. Once you have the finances, you will progress like a Bamboo Tree.

Hope this helps

1. We all have different talents. Some people are gifted with the talent of being able to present,others are gifted to sell, some are gifted with the knowledge of solving problems, some are gifted with knowing when to be aggressive, some come into the business with financial stability, some are gifted to be in the right location, the list could go on.

2. There are thousands of reasons one person finds their success quicker than another but success is relative. When you know you have done your very best and you see the accomplishment you have made, you are successful. It is discouraging when you gauge your accomplishment against someone else's, that creates the problem. One might not know all the parameters that one person has against the other. If the playing field were level we could easily judge but the information is not the same for everyone.
It is not that some Affiliates do so much more different than any other but the parameters may be different for each Affiliate.

3. If I do the very best I can toward my business I am successful regardless of what someone else may say because my bank account is not as big as theirs. There is a long list of what Forbes Magazine called successful business men, but do not have as big a bank account as others. Give your business your best shot and you are successful. SFI is one business that taken the top off the box and it does not matter how long it takes for one to break out of the box. SFI has supplied the tools and gives the support.

SFI is each affiliates own business, it is not a get-rich-quick scheme or scam. You can earn commissions with SFI without spending any money. By utilizing some of the free strategies outlined in the Refer and Sponsor marketing methods sections, you can reach people who are not SFI affiliates. You must invest in your business to make it grow. If you can not invest money, you must invest your time! So, affiliates that do not have funds to invest immediately will naturally take more time to grow their business, whereas those that can invest time and money will grow faster. But every affiliate that wants to succeed, will succeed!

This is a long term project, new affiliates are starting a business from scratch. In the beginning it will cost you zero and it will only cost you money if you choose to invest money into it to make it grow faster, but it can grow with just an investment of time and work from home. If you utilize all the information and tools that SFI gives you, you will see results in the months and years ahead and SFI is not going away, it can be YOUR business forever with residual income that can be passed on to your children someday.

I truly believe that most people join SFI with the wrong intentions in mind and that is to get rich quick. This is not a casino where you have a chance for a quick win when placing a bet. This is a real business that you need to build from the foundation to the rooftop and you the new business owner can decide when the rooftop goes on because with Strong Future International the Sky is the Limit.

The affiliates who succeed quickly are those with a strong will and some financial freedom there is nothing at all wrong with that attitude since most times, these are the ones who make great leaders and who are able to teach the ones who are not business minded to learn various business ethics and skills. And let’s face it we can’t all be leaders.

Don’t get me wrong the others who may take longer to succeed with SFI may be those who decide to take baby steps to absorb the information and achieve long term success. SFI is a great product where time is needed to research your market and decide the best way to market the product to obtain true growth and extreme sales figures.

The following may be some of the reasons why some succeed in weeks and others, years:

1. Time allocation - To say the truth, making it in SFI needs time everyday. If little time is devoted,,little result will come out.

2. Desire - This is like a flame that heat up the whole house. If it is lacked, there will be no action.

3. Inability to understand SFI basics promptly.

4. Inability to invest into the business.

5. Inability to focus on the goals set.

6. Discouragement - To many people, SFI may look very complex whereas it very simple once the guidelines are followed accordingly. They are then discouraged and input very little.

7. Inability to get enough VP to take them to the next level/rank.

There are people that are more ambitious than others. They take the time to read 30 days of LaunchPad, and ask questions if they do not understand things.

They do things quicker, not necessarily because of who their sponsor is, or who they know, but because of what they know, and have taken the time to research and learn about.

They look at the leader board, and make friends with all the leaders, not just from their country, but from other's countries. It helps to be multilingual, but if there is a different language spoken, they take the time to translate the other's language and understand people. They do this, so that if they are preparing to be successful, they will know how helpful it would be to know someone in leadership from every country so that if they sponsor in a different country than their own, they could either ask questions, or refer others to people that can know all about their country and be a local form of support. Likewise, if a team member from my own country wishes to become friends with them, they would return the favor and answer questions for them, too.

They are not afraid to share knowledge and help out their own team members, but help someone else's too. In doing this, they are more likely to succeed, because we are always learning not from just news articles on SFI, but from team members, leaders, and members of the support team.

If they personally do not know the answers to questions, they do not make the answers up, either. It is better to say I do not know, or I will find out for you, and get the answer for you.

These people get things finished much more quickly than someone that tries to do ALL BY THEMSELVES, and does not have good communictions skills.

Some people do not have much time to do things quickly, too. It takes those without much time to devote to earning while they learn, a longer period of time than someone with much time on their hands.

Also, some people that do not have experience either hire professionals to help, or ask friends to help, or learn to be experienced. The ones without time or experience are usually slower at doing things.

There are many different types of personalities in the world. Some people learn and earn more quickly than others because of their personalities, schedules, challenges, lifestyles, and many other unforseen factors.

Also, some people like to take extra time to plan, and set goals. Usually, those with goals who plan are more organized and can save time after planning and setting goals. This is why goal-setting and planning can help do things successfully, the first time.

However, if you are one that does not do things as fast as someone else does, it is not necessarily a bad quality, either. As long as we never give up on ourselves we will be successful, eventually.

Some people work slow turtle speed, and others work fast like rabbit speed. However, if a turtle and a rabbit were in a race, they could both make it to the finish line, as long as they keep a steady pace, and do not give up. Slow and steady could also win the race.


Hopefully, this advice will help.

There are many reasons why this occurs. Some are obvious.

Some people have more money to invest while there are many who come on board that have very little to spare.

Some start out boldly and dive right in, while others might want to try it out a little more slowly at first because they may be suspicious of the offer.

Some might find it easier to understand how to do what needs to be done faster than others because of various reasons.

Some might have awesome sponsors who will be willing to support them from the beginning in various ways.

But, I think that many just may have had experience with other opportunities before they came on board. They are already established in internet marketing and might be promoting other things that are complimentary to the SFI offer and it was rather easy to add SFI into their presentation.

They may already know what a capture page is and have been using one for awhile. They might have a library of ebooks that they can offer free to those who who visit their capture page So, they may already have a very responsive mailing list of people who they've developed a relationship with.

They might already have an established website that they've been updating on a regular basis for awhile that have people visiting daily or weekly.

They might have already searched out the best safelists and tools that are offered online.

There are some things that we just can do nothing about. We can't get a sponsor to suddenly be interested in us if he hasn't been spending the time necessary to develop good sponsorship skills. We can't make a money tree magically pop up in our backyard filled with fresh hundred dollar bills. And, I don't believe anyone can say that caution is a bad thing.

But the last thing I listed we can do something about.
We can learn how to use capture pages and start building our own mailing list. We can put together a weekly newsletter and use it to develop trust with the subscribers of that list. We can search and find free or inexpensive ebooks that offer free giveaway rights to offer the subscribers that come to that capture page in exchange for permission to send our promotions to them.

We can start investigating the many tools that are offered online for the internet marketer. These would include safelists, autoresponders, free plr directories, classified ad sites, forums, social networking sites aimed towards network marketing, ect.

And we could plan and build our own website that not only offers the SFI opportunity, but also lists the best of those tools that we found for our visitors, who may or may not wish to become a member of our downline.

And, we could also search out those who have become successful quickly and asked for their advice.
It isn't the starting point that is important, it's where we finish at that is. As long as we are willing to learn and do the work that is needed we can cross that finish line also.

This is a great question and I think there are a couple of factors that we can take into consideration when answering this question.

1. Work ethic; some affiliates have the mentality or impression that once they sign up and do nothing their business will succeed. As a result many of them are unwilling to put in the time and effort that is needed to build a successful business.

2. Being a good learner. People who are successful read and follow instructions. They listen to they listen to others who are successful and do what they are told to do. (Duplication)

3. Financal backing- The truth is that it does take money to run your business. Free advertising works but paid advertising works even better. I have had team members who have expressed that they would like invest more into their business but are unable to do so.
