My Dreams make me go on.

I set some incredible goals for myself. Some may laugh at me for setting such high goals, but the things I want in life exists. If others achieved it, why not me? That is only my long term goals though.

I also set some short term or interim goals that’s more easily achievable and every time I achieve one of them it motivates me to go on and on.

If you just use your Goals tab on your To Do List properly to spell out your dreams and as you

There may be many reasons why you can’t access the SFI Affiliate Center. The website may be temporarily offline, your internet connection may be limited or offline, etc.

If it’s only SFI’s website that’s offline and you still have a connection, you can still work on the internet doing various things online, like advertising online, learning about marketing, building websites, blogging, communicating with Team Members through their emails, etc.

If you yourself don’t

It is not about choosing between the 2.

W3 is something everyone must have, because it only cost you about $2 once off and it can bring you many TripleClicks members and grow SFI dramatically if driven actively by giving out the w3 x-cards. It also gives you lots of other bonuses every month without having to do much more than explaining what the car decal is all about and handing out the x-cards.

S-Builder is an SFI advertising Co-op that can provide you with a constant stream

For members outside the USA shipping costs can sometimes be very expensive. For that reason digital products and services that don’t have any shipping costs may be the best option, like Gift-cards, E books, Visitor- or Traffic Packages and other digital business building tools from various ECA’s at TripleClicks. You can also have a look at physical products with free shipping, although their prices may be inflated to allow for free shipping.

Another option may be to look for local

Firstly, don't rush yourself. You need time to get to grips with SFI. There are a lot to learn about the business. Study all the Launch Pad Lessons thoroughly. Read the Tips, Blogs, News and Forums and copy and paste it to build your own Info Base.

Secondly, don't try to become Team Leader. Build up a good knowledge base first. You must be able to lead a team before going on to that point. Plus you need to have a team first. Learn>Sponsor>Lead.

Thirdly, don't chase VersaPoints.

Both EZ games and Pricebender auctions are there for our enjoyment and both can help us in our business, but for both we need TCredits to participate (accept for free games). Let’s for one moment leave the prizes you can and may win in both the EZ games as well as the auctions out of the equation and see what each have to offer for building your business:

• Every game you play cost you 1TC and you gain 1AVP (max 200 AVP/mth) that help you to become EA or Team Leader and 5MRP that you

To get to the answer to this question we have to look at the ways to promote SFI. There is actually only 2 ways to promote your business namely Off-line and On-line.

Offline marketing is things like Warm Marketing (Speaking to family and friends about SFI), Distributing marketing materials personally, Posting fliers or other marketing aids on notice boards or other places like under windscreen wipers of cars in parking lots, Placing ads in publications, Presentations, etc. This method

There are a few things you can do to motivate your affiliates to duplicate you (To do what you do):
1. Always lead by example. By logging in every day and doing every action on your To Do List daily, weekly and monthly and getting all the Badges you can, you will definitely stand out and others will admire you.
2. Always make them feel welcome and special. Start by welcoming them properly and follow up with personal messages and E-cards of support and congratulations when due. It will

If it’s a first meet –up, I would keep it mostly informal. Also I would rather meet at a public place for the first few times. Maybe meet at a restaurant over a late brunch just to get to know each other first before discussing business in a meeting style.

Later, as you get to know each other better, you can start meeting at individual homes. After all, you will become friends, not so. As you order some refreshments and/or food, the atmosphere will change and people will start talking

What would be a better goal and why? Sponsor hundreds of new PSAs every year or teach a smaller number of EAs to each develop EAs themselves?

To be successful in this business you’ll have to apply the Ultra Simple 3 Step Plan, namely become EA every month, acquire 5 active PSA’s and teach them to do the same.

To be able to put this plan into action properly you’ll have to enroll at least 500 PSA’s (only about 1% will be active).

So yes, you’ll have to ENROLL hundreds of PSA’s per year to be able to SPONSOR (teach) that smaller number of EA’s (that handful of movers in your team) to each develop EA’s
