To make yourself be the best SFI affiliate ever is a great aspiration. But don't make it hard on yourself trying to be one.

Be teachable. When you're new learn all you can, follow your leader's example. Read as much as you can and apply the knowledge that you have acquired and keep learning some more.

Be patient. Know that SFI business is not an overnight success. You have to start from the beginning, suffer some frustrations and disappointments like everyone else, work hard and do something everyday to grow your business. Accept the fact that it may take you between 2-5 years to build a solid, profitable, and ongoing SFI business that will give you residual income and therefore financial freedom.

Be friendly and courteous not only to your sponsor and co-sponsor but to others especially if you're participating in the Forum and in dealing with your a2a friends.

Be ambitious and have vision. Vision is the basis for your success and it creates goals that you set yourself.

Be constantly challenging yourself to do more for your team and your business.

Be an encourager and a motivator for yourself and your team. If you have personal issues with anybody on your team, remember to follow this simple advice: it's better to edify than to crucify.

Be humble of your accomplishments. Boasting and gloating are a big turn-off, and will not endear you to anyone.

Be honest with your performance. If you fail to become an EA in your first month, try again the second month. Know that SFI is not a race, but a journey that you can take at your own pace. It's better to be a Shining Star that stays shining than a Shooting Star that banishes in an instant.

Be persistent, consistent, and dedicated to your business. Doing your daily tasks is an exercise in consistency and dedication, and you're developing the SFI habit of success.

Finally, be the best person that you can possibly be and you'll be the best SFI affiliate there will ever be.

You are assuming that the affiliate is now well verse in setting short-term to medium-term goals and you are just asking what long-term goal(s) an affiliate should be setting for himself/herself.

Only the affiliate will know what he wants when he joined SFI. We can only suggest the following:-

. To become PTL, say in 2-3 years' time.

. To attain this, he must build a very deep active, successful downlines around the world by sponsoring and duplicating and promoting should be given priorities.

. To refer as many ECAs as he can for the income from royalties which will make him
wealthy.

Being financially free is the ultimate goal for affiliate who struggles to pay the bill, put food on the table, to provide for his/her family, pay for standing orders, pay for TC purchases and other incidentals.

There are pros and cons in advising new PSAs who are fast workers to slow down, if they haven't qualified as Team Leaders.

If the new PSA has no problem with setting up a Standing Order, is showing leadership skills by sponsoring PSAs on his own on his first few days in SFI, and doing all the right things by educating himself and participating in the Forum and other SFI activities and contests, is enjoying the EZ games and the auctions, he is an ACE a future DTL, by all means encourage him to go high as he can! After all, isn't he the kind of PSA we are all looking for?

On the other hand, we know how easy it is for new PSA to collect 1500 points upon joining, and hence is encouraged to go further than EA, but is hesitant to invest money in his business and has no idea how duplication works, then advising the person to slow down is the better option. Teach him the 3-Ultra=Simple Steps, how build a team, find workers, invest time, money and commitment, become EA and retaining it. It is more beneficial for the PSA than earning a high rank in so short a time without a solid team to work with and which will only bring disappointment and discouragement.

They need to build a solid foundation because a house that is built on shifting sands has no strength to stand the test of nature.

Use your judgment and personal knowledge of your PSAs, and advise accordingly.

Personally speaking, I think it's a good idea to reassign PSAs to someone in their own country for several reasons:-

. Sharing the same language, they will have no problem in communicating. Even if they have different dialects, they can still talk to each other in their national language and therefore explaining how SFI works will be much easier.

. Sharing the same culture, religious beliefs and practices is also an important factor in forming a business relationship based on mutual respect and understanding.

. Sharing the same economic environment will make them appreciate the opportunity in SFI much better and will therefore help one another to succeed in their business.

These are mainly the reasons I can think of that are really beneficial to both PSAs and the reassignees.

Promoting my SFI business involves different actions on my part. We can promote SFI business in any way we can, so long as we are comfortable in the way we choose to do it.

The most important is to log in daily, not only to earn the 11 VP but to read what's on the Alerts for the day. It is also crucial for the growth of my business to check my Genealogy daily, to see who's new and needs help and attention; who's moving and needs praise and encouragement; and others who need prodding, encouraging, and motivating.

If I had won a game/contest there would be a "Share It" to share at Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. and this drip method is an easy and subtle way to promote my SFI business.

I would also check my inbox daily, sometimes several times a day, for any interesting messages from my friends who are not in SFI, this gives me the opportunity to promote the latest games, the latest products, and the latest innovations to the business.

When I go out I make sure I have some X-cards in my purse. I would also make sure I have at least 5 Gift Cards to distribute when opportunity arises.

When I'm at home, and someone knocks at the door for any reason, I would give 1 Gift Gard before the person leaves.

When I'm expecting friends I would make sure I wear my TripleClicks T-shirt.

Everyday I do gardening, I wear my SFI cap not only for sun protection but also to attract interest to whoever passes by my front garden.

There are other excellent ways to promote my SFI business on-line, but I prefer doing the simple things offline that makes people aware of my SFI business.

It’s better to provide prospects with only a brief overview of what SFI is about than giving the full story of SFI or you will lose him quickly, especially if it's your first meeting.

It’s been written that the first two to four minutes that you speak with a prospect are more important than any other four minutes that you will ever have together.

Emerson wrote, “What you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you are saying.”

The first few moments of interaction with others, their attention span and powers of retention are the highest. They are completely focused on you. So providing prospects with only a brief overview of what SFI is about and using catch phrases that will arouse interest and will be remembered will work better.

Give him your card, and arrange to meet another day when you can give the full picture of what SFI is and the potential for your prospect to become a successful entrepreneur.

After the first four minutes and you keep on about explaining in more detail is a sure way to lose the interest of your prospect.
