Initially focus on one and get good at it, get to the point where it is making you regular money, where you are putting less effort into generating results. This could be a particular product or ECA you promote in a particular way.

Then find a second and do the same. Then a third. Congratulations, you now have Multiple Income Streams!

A good piece of advice is to promote and market a product or service that you yourself use and are passionate about. This means you know the product

It all depends on how you want to use the money.

As we all need an SO to keep EA and we all need to use TC as our own store, you can deposit a chunk back in by buying T Credits - invest some back in your business.

Now depending how much you are earning each month, and hopefully this is growing each month, it might still be time to let those earnings accumulate for a bit then take a big lump sum cheque.

Now if you are at the point where you SFI earnings has reached

You show them the potential that SFI has, the lifechanging potential it has for you both.

What hooked you to SFI?

Was it the signup page? Something in the Launchpad lessons? A message from your upline?
You have decided to invest time and money to grow your business. Are you buying S-Builder shares to build your downline? What convinced you to do so?

Are you an EA2, BTL, or planning to be one next month? Then what? STL, GTL, PTL. How much will your investment

It's great when we receive our CSAs. It's annoying when they do nothing.

Whether they are PSA or a CSA, the old adage about how you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink applies
(the actual answer to this is that if you hold it's head under it will start to swallow the water before breathing it in - but that may be considered an extreme solution)

Emailing is the obvious solution and no doubt many people will suggest this. However what you need to do is

I see that there are ECAs in my local area who have not yet listed any products. How can I/we encourage them to become active ECAs?

Firstly are these ECAs you have sponsored or ECAs you have connected to?

Have you been promoting the ECAs page?
Have you got your affiliates to connect and promote the page?

If you have done these actions, you can tell the ECA owner, who you should know in person, at least by email, that you and your team are standing ready to sell his products. Where are they? Come on, get them listed!

Perhaps there is a reason why they have not listed and they need help, so

Both!

Spend time and money to build your business, depending how much of each you have to set aside each day, week and month.

Use S Builder to build a strong team, invest your money in the best method for targeting SFI affiliates. How many shares you buy is up to you. There are also other methods for buying PSAs, and ways to win them, to bid for them in auctions.

Use the sponsoring methods to advertise and recruit affiliates, there are many to choose from. Spend some

To qualify for Team Leader you simply have to BE a Team Leader! That's it!

Build your team, sponsor affiliates, refer TC customers. Show your affiliates how to do the same, lead them to become EA, then again next month so they are EA2. Each personally Sponsored EA2 gets you 100 VP. This how you start to make qualifying VP to reach TL status.

Check the Scoreboard - the higher your PSAs rank, the more points you will accrue. Don't expect to "just" become a BTL if you

I need a mentor. What's the best way to find a mentor for SFI?

It would be great if your sponsor was your mentor wouldn't it? But that sadly is often not the case.

Look at who else is in your upline. STL, GTL, PTL. Have a look at their leadership page, do they have a co-op, what advice do they give. Contact them personally, add them on A2A, see if they are on the forum. Read their posts, reply, join the conversation. Show your interest, take up their points and ask further questions.

A mentor is looking for someone to mentor, a protégé.

The most valuable thing I learned is to learn!

"Earn while you learn" we see posted but what does that really mean?

Refer customer to TripleClicks - Sponsor Affiliates to SFI - DUPLICATE!

A simple plan but you have to learn how to do each step and to keep doing it.

The forum is a great place to ask questions, answer them, and see a lot of good answers and positive response. You also see some bad answers and negative response, but this is also

The main thing about SFI is that it is a real business and not a Get Rich Quick scheme.

Many people will join up and expect instant results. They need to understand that it takes time to get the business running, to learn what you need to learn and to apply it, to get the ads in place and the responses coming in.

They need to read the stories of the people who have been successfull in SFI. You will not find one overnight success, the people making big money took years to build
