I think that the best answer to this question can be found by going to the drop down menu under REFERENCE on the black bar located on your affiliate page and clicking on Compare SFI.

Speaking from personal experience, I was reading a thread on the Forum one day and decided to write a comment about it. Later, I see that none other than SFI's founder and CEO, Gery Carson is offering me advice! I think to myself, who am I to have Mr. Carson trying to help me. I thanked him and told him that

Great question!
I believe this is a great way to start a second income without quitting your job.
SFI is not a get rich quick program, only better. It is free to join with all the tools you need to build a serious income available to you free of charge with no obligation to make an investment ever.
The only get rich quick schemes that I know of require you to make an investment in the beginning so that they can get rich.
If you don't have the time or experience to grow your

In my opinion, you shouldn't have to convince PSA's to become a TripleClicks Wave3 member.

I have read many answers to this question and there have been a lot of benefits stated in them. The one thing that I have not seen is that it is probably the cheapest way to advertise TripleClicks.

The one drawback that I see that some people will have is that they might not want the TripleClicks sticker on their vehicle. They may feel embarrassed by this or may have some other excuse

Absolutely! Success is definitely possible!
Just think about SFI's Rules of Success rule # 19, (Some will, some won't. So what?! Next!
In this type of business, some will work, most won't work, what matters is that you don't quit. In due time, you will find those who want to work.
When you do find them, be sure to follow SFI's Rules of Success, rule #4,(work with the workers.

To your success.

Good question.

I do not believe there is any way in the short run. It is better to use the tools SFI equips you with to communicate with all of your down line. Using my down line as an example, out of 150 people, only 1 person seems to be working. Some, after obtaining the rank of EA2, vanished. And some of the people who I thought gave up, returned for a short while giving me hope that they haven't given up yet.

The best advice I can give is to send out team mails to everybody

If you could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?

If I could start over with SFI today I think that I would do absolutely nothing different. This is not to say that I was an instant success, (far from it). I don't even have a fast track badge. When I signed up, it was the next day that I figured out how to log in.

I feel that I have made a lot of mistakes along the way and will probably make a lot more, but with each mistake I feel there is a lesson to be learned.

My advice would be not to think of what might have been. The

How do you handle being rejected over and over again when presenting the SFI opportunity to others?

Great question!

According to SFI's Rules Of Success #19, Some willc some won't. So what?! Someone's waiting! Next!

According to this rule, rejection is just a part of this business. Out of 20 people that SFI is presented to, there will be at least 19 no's. You may average better than this (In my case, the average is not this good).

Just memorize this and remember that for every no you get the closer to a yes you are.

Best wishes for your SFI business

In my opinion, SFI is definitely good for students.

An experience that I had was that my daughters went to college with the intent to get a degree in instrumental music. After enrolling, the state I live in experienced a teacher shortage. It even went as far as to take people out of college and start them teaching before receiving their degree. This seemed to be an exciting thing as an employment aspect. But before they finished college, the state had more teachers than they needed.

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?

What would be the better goal and why?

My answer would be yes. Why? You need to sponsor many new a PSAs to be able to find the smaller number of people you can train to be and to develop EAs themselves.

Let me refer you to LAUNCH PAD lesson #16, THE BIG FUNNEL. If you are advertizing, then you will, undoubtedly, sponsor a lot of people who join out of curiosity. You will have a lot of people who will not do a thing. Consider this as the large end of the funnel. Coming out of
