Don't give up. One thing that SFI has never done is make bold promises. The site makes it clear that it will take a little time to begin to see substantial results. The things that keep pushing me forward to want to continue with SFI is that every time I do something, I receive a surprise. Every badge I receive lets me know I am on the right track. I also pay attention to my scorecard that lets me see how I rate with other SFI members. And every day I log in I am surprised when my power rank keeps on going higher and higher. Because I was serious about this business from the start, I was able to achieve Silver Team Leader within the first month. I have only been doing this a month and I can see how far I have come in such a short time. I only really focused on doing all the tasks on my to-do list everyday. I have bought a few things from tripleclicks that I will use to enhance my business and spread the word far and wide. The best thing I got was the s-builder co-op which gives me new PSAs every week. I have not receive any commissions yet, but I have a strong positive attitude that if I stick with it and try to motivate my down-line to achieve what I have achieved already, then it is only a matter of time before I start receiving a few commissions and then a lot.
Stick with it because it will be worth the effort in the end, especially when you start managing your own team. I only wished I found this years ago when I was looking for a home-based business that would offer me the same support and information that I am receiving at SFI.

You only fail in life when you give up! As you still asking what to do to keep pushing forward, that's means for me that you didn't yet give up totally. So, what you have to do is to start again on new basics and solid roots and keep moving in the right direction of success. So,your view of failure is simply a set back.

The most successful people in the world will tell you that failure was a constant threat but it was also necessary in getting to the next level of success...

Don't allow disappoint and minor setbacks destroy your ambitions! Instead, remind you that mistakes are to be made and learnt from. So continue on regardless of the obstacles.

Don't give up for ever, just try again and have always positive attitude/thoughts/mind that SFI business success is not only for others but also for you!

Set realistic goals and do your best to achieve them. Work hard on your business and have self confidence to succeed gradually.

Try to learn through examples of men and women all over the world who have succeeded in SFI business. There are many tools set up by the management team of the business that you can use to contact them and receive enough training tools for your information such as forums, support desk...

You can learn from other affiliates through Affiliate to Affiliate (A2A) system contacts.

Have always this credo in your mind: "YES YOU CAN"!

I joined SFI in April this year and now we are coming on a new year and all I have to say is even though it isn't much I have been earning money every month that I have been in SFI. Unlike with other ventures I have tried SFI has not failed to deliver what they say they will. I have not earned any money with any of the other ventures and I spent over $1,000 to use their products.

This is the only free system out there that I have found that truly delivers all you have to do is log in daily and do the red tabs and then go to your VP ledger page and make sure you have done all the daily, weekly and monthly actions to earn the points.

Make sure to bid on at least one auction a day, make purchases of digital products that most people are selling on the web for a lot of money. All the self help books and know how are in the TripleClicks store for great prices and if you connect with others there you will have a friend for life.

This is duplication and make sure to always check out your leadership page and let others know about special offers and promotions. We are required to rate our sponsors and we receive VP so it is all about duplication and not giving up!

I wanted to give up because of family and financial difficulties but this is the only money I have earned so I am not giving up because with duplication and perseverance soon I will be earning more income and that is why I chose to join SFI. I have learned through duplication how to run the other businesses I joined and even though I am still not earning money from them I know I will eventually.

With that said SFI is easier than those other products I chose and the most enjoyable business I have invested in. Time is all you really need to invest maybe 30 minutes to one hour a day and that is why I keep pushing forward. So I encourage you to stop whatever else youare doing and focus on SFI to learn how to duplicate and help others to learn to push forward. You will not regret it!

I hope this answer will encourage others to keep pushing forward and I know in the end the rewards are well worth it.

This is the best question I've read so far.

There are a lot of reasons why someone would give up at the beginning. It's either because they are confused, they do not have the time, willingness, patience, or simply do not know what to do.

When it comes to me, I didn't have a lot of experience in this type of work, so I read about the experiences of other successful people in the SFI. The key to success on SFI is to follow the steps of what successful leaders do and follow their advices. And than I think of mayself, if thay can be succcessful, why couldn't I. If I stuck , get confused or just don’t know how to do something I ask for help. It’s a matter of determination & persistence no matter what it takes, don’t quit but be patient in everythig that you do. I have great sposor who helped me in so many ways that I can't thank her enought. She motivated me to move on.

I advice you to:
1)Learn what SFI is all about and follow all basics instructions.
2)Follow the leaders advise.
3)Follow your sponsors advises.
4)Participate at forum to know the answer to all your problems.
5)Maintain an EA status. You don't want to remain just an affiliate. The only way you can make money by being an affiliate is to "sell" more. It's better to maintain EA status so you can get commission from your PSAs.
6)Spend at list one hour everyday trying to either talk to someone about the opportunitys on SFI or spend time posting classified ads.

DONT GIVE UP, be wiser than that. Learn every single day with SFI and even though you having difficultys financing your SFI business, get to know new tricks to increase your VP without sacrificing too much of your budget. I know somewhere down the road, you will find those hard to get affiliates you've been looking for and your business will flourish just like others. It maybe super tough to build the foundation of this business but it's tougher to do nothing and end up with nothing!

I can feel this.

I know where you are coming from. I gave up more times than I can count. If you see my profile, you'll know that I have been here since 2004. Yet, I don't have much to show for it. I started late. I realised the potential of SFI much later.

I cannot tell you about what I did when I wasn't here and I wasn't doing anything. Today, however, it's a different story. Here's what I do everyday to make sure I meet my goals ( short term and long term). I hope it might be beneficial for you too:

1. Read, Read, and Read some more ( and this doesn't include anything inside SFI). I read at least 2 books a week. That's more than 100 books a year.
2. I have a mainstream business where I do digital marketing and content development ( this helps me pay the bills). This business also teaches me a lot about digital marketing so I use it to my advantage.
3. I maintain an EA status. I don't want to remain just an affiliate. The only way you can make money by being an affiliate is to "sell" more. I already do that a lot. I need leverage. So, the least I can do is to maintain EA status. Next up is BTL.
4. I spend one hour everyday trying to either talk to someone about the opportunity or spend time posting classified ads. My Upline helps a lot too.
5. I bid on Pricebender auctions for 100 PSA, 500 CSA, and T-Credit Packs -- when you win these, you can fast track your growth in SFI. Imagine the number of people in your team then.
6. I have a blog exclusively for SFI. I publish 3 posts each week for this blog. As usual, I'd have to promote the blog for traffic too.

Hope this helps.

Hello, dear!

I completely understand wanting to quit. I've been there, and many affiliates have been there, too, especially in the first months when you are struggling to generate sales on TripleClicks and sponsor PSA while you yourself aren't making any money. It's hard.

Things that are pushing me forward:

1. My Sponsor - she is not only motivating in what she says, but I actually see her earning, so I know I can, too.

2. other affiliates - through a Facebook group, here on FORUM, and in ASK SC, I get loads of motivation, inspiration and advice on how to move forward

3. SFI itself has motivational quotes, tips, etc. Not to mention that winning something, be it in Daily Grand or just T-time is making me stay and do things.

All in all, the system doesn't let me quit. In fact, I think I am the one that's pushing me forward. After all, I contact my sponsor, fellow affiliates, I read SFI materials. Because I know there are better times coming. And you know it, too. Just persevere, and know you are not alone!

This is an excellent question.

What I use to keep me moving forward even during times when it feels like the movement is not happening:

-group of like minded individuals that I can talk with or share with through SFI
- read auto-biographies of others who have been through experiences in life which were hard and learn new strategies to pull myself through those hard times
- journal writing as I can review what my thoughts and experiences were 6 months ago or even a year ago and see where there has been growth
- meet new people every day as meeting new people provides new ways of looking at things
- review the resources that SFI has as there are many outlets where we can go to review and read the stories of other affiliates that have found success and where there were challenges too
- have a "why to do" list about SFI written and posted somewhere that may be readily available to read as the "why" to join SFI is always needing to be kept clear even during those days when it is hard.

Very good question.

I will give you an example of what not to do and this in itself will keep you pushing forward. I gave up on SFI back 10 years ago, I came in looking for the millions and found out it was not what I thought at the time and like all of us see daily, I faded away never gave it a second look.

I entered at a time with others that I knew from other online ventures. Some stayed and guess what? Are still here today.

So, after a little research back at the end of 2012, I was shell shocked. For a month a shook my head thinking if I only stayed if I only stayed. You can imagine what I saw but I will leave the details out. Obviously, if I am back, what I saw was a wake up call and decided that i am coming back a second time and this time I am not ever leaving.

I saw with my own eyes living proof of what one can accomplish in SFI with patience, persistence, motivation and focus and a thirst for knowledge. My failure the first time around and became a wake up call in that this system, SFI, I finally saw the light. This IS a one of a kind opportunity to change oneself for the better and was enough to not only keep me pushing forward, but it was like strapping a rocket on back to give this venture a second go around.

I lit it up and it shot off and I have not turned back and never will. For those who are thinking of giving up, let this story be enough to keep your fire burning. Do not make the same mistake I made 10 years ago and quit to find yourself ten years or even five years from now coming back here in complete awe shaking your head wishing you had not left.

SFI is a real opportunity and it is YOU that needs to change the way YOU see things and then things YOU see will change for you. Stick with this system through thick and thin and it will be well worth the trip you took when you look back 2 years, 5 years, 10 years from now.

Let this askSC answer be the thing that kept you pushing forward in SFI.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I personally have not yet been in a position to give up the SFI.
I love this job and my wish is to remain so for the future.
I do not have a lot of people in my team, but I'm still ahead.Those few active PSA in my team gives me the strength to not give up.
None of us now do not earn a lot of money but we are happy because every day something new happens.
Very often communicate with my members, and when one of them falls and starts to think about giving up and I feel bad.But only occasional words of encouragement helps a lot.
I just point out to them that it should continue, if you still have time why not spend on advertising, you might just change the way are doing it so far.
For success in any business should take time.
If only two people on the team works, why should I give up?
Tomorrow will come someone new, the next day also ...
There is no reason to give up.
Many have succeeded, and you will one day.

Time is money!
So, never give up!

I won't give my SFI up for three reasons:

1) this is the $cheapest business I've ever come across.
It has a great set-up, great tools, a great support system too - but it's the low financial investment that I need at the moment, because at the moment I don't have $$thousands to invest like other businesses require at start-up

2) if I quit, I'm back to where I was - going hardly anywhere :(

3) if I don't quit, but keep working the system day after day after day, I know that I know that I know that I will be in a better place then than I am in now.
I understand with my $budget that it might take me a few years for the $$Big money to be really flowing in,
but if I don't apply myself daily now, then I'm back to Point#2 - and that's unacceptable.
I want change and prosperity for me & my kids/grandkids, so I'm sticking with SFI (because it works) until that change and prosperity kicks in. Hope you all do too :)
