Hey, this is a tricky one!

You're right, couples don't always share the same opinions or beliefs. Your engagement in a program like this one may alarm your better half, out of the fear of losing money.

Like in any other spousal dispute, you need to remember vows about sharing good and bad. That includes money, as well. So, how can you convince your partner that investing in SFI is prudent? Let him/her take a look, sit by your side while you're doing your tasks and reading the LaunchPad, Training, Ask Gery, and so on. Discuss it openly, don't insist on your point of view. Be tactful. It's actually the same as with new PSAs or CSAs! You need to prove your good will and good intentions, not to raise additional doubts and opposition. Make an agreement with your partner about the funds you may use towards growing this business, and stick to the agreement. Report all good and bad news regularly, listen to your partner's point of view.

Basically, behave the same way as in any other disputes you face. It's your partner, a person who chose to spend his/her life with you, and deserves some credit.

Hi Petru

I see many answers here that are not looking at the fact it is your life partner we're talking about. You cannot treat your friends and family like customers. The best way to get a family member or close friend involved is to show them how successful you are doing. If they want to invest in you or in SFI & TripleClicks in their own right, I'm sure they will once they've seen that you are flourishing.

However, they may not want to take the same route as you and may want to support your business by being supportive to you by helping to inspire you, being there for you when you need someone to vent your ideas on or by giving you encouragement when they feel you need it. There are many ways for a life partner to invest in your business.

If your life partner needs convincing then maybe they're simply not ready to enter into this business. If they're not confident in investing here then maybe you just need to let them see a little at a time just how you share your little achievements on Twitter and Facebook, you could show them when you've just made a sale or reached an important goal.

Which is more important to you?...Respecting your partner's wishes or having them join your business no matter what?...I'm sure you will reach a balance and only you will know what that is. We can't tell you...just advise.

I do hope your partner sees all the benefits of investing and that you accept whatever type of investment they decide they can give.

Have a very happy new Year!

The best way to convince your life partner that investing in SFI is prudent is by showing him/her the progress you are making in your business and the income you are earning from it.

Some people are so skeptical about online marketing businesses, so the best way to get your partner to play along with you is when he/she has seen the income you are earning from it.

So I will advise you to continue to invest and grow your business and when it is successful, you can then draw your partner's attention to it.

Hello,

To be quite honest with your question, I can truly say that I don't have a life partner as of yet, but I can tell you that you can mention of all the "free" stuff that you can do on SFI followed by the stuff that you can invest in order to be truly successful.

You can give them a little tour of your SFI site and show them your scoreboard as to how you are doing in this business. Basically, the focus of SFI is to build your team roster with a lot of active members in it. The more you build your team and the more you help your members within your team that you build, the more that it is going to help you prosper in you and your life partner's future.

Of course, that is easier said than done. It just takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and patience in order to truly see good results from this. Never give up. Hang in there.

As far as convincing my husband that investing in SFI is prudent, I have to be honest - I have not and do not plan to do any convincing. I've learned from my many business ventures in the past that I should not have to convince, but only show that I can do this. Some people just won't "budge" no matter how much you tell them or show them the ropes - they have to see that it is working.
I am actually starting to do well, and once I have met a few more of my goals, then I will show him that this business is the "Real Deal". It takes time and commitment and I want him to see that I was able to build and do this on my own. That way, he too can realize that if he really wants to get involved, it is worth the investment.

Good Luck!

I have had this problem with my husband for many years now. We have spent so much money on other so called opportunities that he just didn't want to try it with SFI. Because of this I actually failed twice at SFI. This is my third time trying. So, what has changed to make me try it again? I went out and got one of those things they call a job. So now I have my own money; money that my husband can't tell me what to do with. So you might give that a try.

If getting a job to help pay your way through SFI is not an option then you might try building it for free. There are many ways you can do this for free. It will just take a bit longer to do it. Go to the marketing section of SFI for some ideas. There are lots of free online classified you can post ads to. There are surf sites you can do for free. You can hand out Biz cards and post flyers as well. You can also pick a product at your TripleClicks store that is worth 1500 VersaPoints and sell your way to success.

Best wishes for your success.

I showed my partner the savings available at Pricebenders Auctions and on TripleClicks. Then, I showed her some scenarios in the compensation plan about how easy it would be to earn a little extra income. Even an extra $400 or $500 would make a difference each month. I also pointed out that it is free to join and there's no monetary commitment except what you can afford to spend to run your SFI business. For more credibility, I pointed out that SFI has been in business a long time and is a member of the Better Business Bureau. I think the icing on the cake was when I agreed to split any earnings with her. (I was going to do that anyway!)

This is a tricky question. Convincing your spouse about investing in SFI or failing to do so, depends upon so many factors like your inter-relationship, the trust and confidence you enjoy with each other, your family resources, your spouse's innate faith in online selling etc.

Basically, I can tell you about my own experience over the past one year I have been in SFI. At first, skeptisicm for the first 3 or 4 months, followed by a grudging acceptance in the next 4 months when I started breaking-even and now a concealed admiration for the tenacity with which I am sticking to it still.

The bottom-line is : don't try too hard to convince your spouse with words. Show her by action that SFI really works !

My personal experience in getting your partner involved in your new adventure, is get her /him involved in your daily to-do list so they are able to see your vp points increase as you move up the ladder.
Also let them give you advice on your goal settings so they feel that they are apart of you plans and they can see and understand where you are and where you want to go with the new venture.
Show them your scoreboard daily so they can also see how your venture is improving as time goes on. On the scoreboard is a break down of your earnings that you have earned during the month.
Go to your home page and click the training tab and click the getting started tab and then go to the Getting Started Faq link and i am sure your partner will have all there questions answered and it will put there mind at ease that you will be able to make a living from sfi.

Good luck

Here's what I did:

I went to TripleClicks, selected DEALS, and then selected SHOW ALL CLOSEOUTS. I then asked my wife to take a look at the screen and help me order something for her, just because I love her.

When she saw the products, the prices and the huge discounts on offer, she was delighted.

After that I just had to answer her questions; she wanted to listen to all I had to say about TripleClicks and SFI, Pricebender Auctions, TCredits, MRP etc etc.

I didn't have to do anything more to convince her. We had another believer right away.

Maybe this will help you too. All my very best.
