If money is hard to come by but somehow you can spare say about $2 each month for you business then my recommendation is that you set up a standing order for 1 TCredit. You may not get the 1500 points you require, but it sets you in the right direction. 1 TC = 102 VPs plus $0.61 commission - over 12 months your commission will be $7.31 + 12 TCs. You commission and TCs double if you choose to invest $4.
In the world of INTELLIGENT investment, any amount can be wisely made productive. Smile and be glad you are getting into the investment habit.
Success is about how well you manage your resources. If you can do well with little believe me you can do even greater wonders with plenty. Start with the little you have and increase as and when you get more.

Which will help me the most in becoming successful in SFI--sponsoring affiliates or referring TripleClicks members?

The kind of choice one makes will depend on their understanding of the phrase "becoming successful". If being successful means being happy at what doing and generating sufficient wealth to better yourself and those around you, then I would recommend you carry on sponsoring affiliates and referring people to TC. In so doing you are diversifying your sources of income. You PSAs, provided they are active will give you a basis upon which you build your business; and a dependable source of income. Your TC members on the hand are like your income generators. Each time they purchase or sell an item that is money in your pocket. In short, give both groups equal priority, for true wealth trickles in from multiple avenues.

I am broke but I really want to make EA this month. What do I do and what is the best advice you can give to me?

Broke and successful = Sensible Budget + Sensible Spending + continued DUPLICATION.
It is not impossible for you to get on to the EA status this month. You ought to prioritise your expenditure. Sacrifice at least $21 and invest it on your SFI. Since we are already in the last half of the month I would recommend that you buy 11 single T-credits at $20.79. That will earn you 1122 VersaPoints.
If you have been consistent with the daily (including monthly) activities, that should bring you safely to the 1500 points needed to become an EA. You will also have some commission, let alone T-credits.
Rather than spending your Tcredits and MRPs now, keep them for the following month. In addition start promoting SFI by dropping E-cards to friends and indeed to places where people are likely to see them. Encourage other people to join for if they did so and attained EA2 status you will be able to earn 100 points for supporting each one of them, to say nothing about the commission.

Count your situation as a blessing and springboard upon which you can bolt anywhere you want at any time. If you have access to a computer and the internet, equip yourself with printouts of the e-cards and give them to your friends, relatives and many more; leave a few INTENTIONALLY on buses and trains. Share your new found love (SFI) over the social media - Facebook, twitter, Google+, pInterest. Tell the world about it. Over time you will begin to get good response.

The negativity one encounters is not necessarily a bad thing. Personally I use to leverage my next move for the more negativity I receive the more persistent I become. I recommend any one faced with negativity to do the same. Negativity is not bad as such. What is bad bad and damaging is the way we react to it.
Try the simple strategy I decided a few years ago which has helped me a great deal as a salesperson: For every negative reaction I experience, I resolved to make 5 more attempts over and above my daily target.

Why is setting goals so important in becoming successful in SFI?

Goals shed light into one’s long-term vision and at the same time enthuse one to achieve short-term objectives.
Goals give meaning and purpose to any activity you undertake because they help one to focus available resources – time, knowledge and finances – to realised ones dreams. Because goals imply knowledge of where one is and where one wants to be (wants to achieve), they are like a roadmap of where one wants to go. They provide milestones against which one can judge progress and make essential modifications if needed.
Well thought about goals clearly identify destination; ensure preparedness (focus); facilitate productivity because one knows what needs to be done, where and when; boost confidence on one’s own ability and generates desired results.

What's the best way to approach a new PSA with regards to discussing their goals with them?

People who achieve their goals do so because they have genuine reasons and essential leverage necessary to do. For such people the goal is becomes like part of the statement that is available for all to see. The rest of the often unwritten statement often gives reason: ... I have to achieve this otherwise I will lose or something will happen ... The information new affiliates provide on their profile is not necessarily detailed enough to help their upline leader understand why they have chosen those goals.
One way of getting a new PSA to discuss is by sharing your own goals with them in a personal email or be it on the phone. One of my upline team leaders sets his goals as personal challenges and openly discusses why he sets them and why he must achieve them. In the process of doing that, he may throw a subtle line ... "What do you want badly enough that you are willing to put in 200% of your effort to get it?" Usually I would have no on the spot answer. But that subtle, honest and brutal approach led me to rethink my goals in terms of the pains that I would have if I did not meet my goal. The goal becomes the carrot before a donkey and the pain is the stick behind. It give me the motivation and leverage. Whether my upline leader intended, the approach worked for me and I share with my PSAs.
You will need to have rapport with your PSAs. I usually start by asking their permission to discuss their goals and if they would like to know mine. And remember to respect their decision.

How do I present the SFI/TC opportunity to a prospect without "overselling" it and turning them off?

The question can be rephrased as: How does one avoid falling into the trap of appearing to use excessively aggressive selling tactics which exaggerate the merits of SFI/TC?
As I have learnt in the 6 months I have been with SFI, success depends very much on your knowledge and love of what SFI offers. When that knowledge and love or commitment is expressed to potential customers with honest transparency, they respond. Bear in mind Rule 19 of the SFI Success rules:
"Some will, some won't. So what?! Someone's waiting! Next!"
So be careful! Be honest, and be specific in communicating to the needs of potential clients, because overselling could leave you with no sale at all.
The second and equally important step in avoiding overselling is to determine what is most important to your target group. What are their expectations when buying your product or service? You can always find related information on the internet. Check your assumptions against what your customer tells you. Never operate from the assumption that you know what's best for them.
Personally, I prefer to set out my promotion in form of open-ended questions designed to get potential customer thinking. In the end I give an invitational answer. A typical example would be:
What would you do if someone gave you an opportunity to set up your own business with only what you can afford? What would you do if someone paid commission on all sales and purchases you made? I know just the company: http://www.tripleclicks.com/11694201. Log on and see for yourself.
In all always engage in open, honest communication with your potential customers. Find out important facts about their needs and expectations. Remember, more sales also help you build great business relationships, generating repeat sales as well as referrals.
