We measure SUCCESS in many different ways and levels. It all depends on each of us. And for me, success starts at the goal setting. When we joined SFI, we were asked to set our short and long term goals. It is important that we have defined those goals realistically (not too high or too low according to your standard). Setting realistic goals are vital and it is important that we identify what success means to us personally, so that when we succeed we will know it based from our set goals.

Well...at first, being a SFI Affiliate is not that distinct for me. I never felt proud at first. But as time goes, I felt proud being an Affiliate with SFI because of the following:

1. The things I've learned which SFI provides through training for FREE. I know I could have never learn the things I've learned here in other sites or if I decided to put up my own traditional business.

2. The new friends that I have gathered through a2a and those downlines that have opened the

My take…? Never expect anyone to help you. This way, you will not get disappointed if no one came to your aid.

Why?
1. Because this is your business…not anybody else’s
2. Your success never depend on anyone but YOU
3. Yes, you were assigned a Sponsor or Co-Sponsor…but they might also be busy with their own business and other things. If they happen to have time and assisted you, fine…thank them for their time and be appreciative of any help from them, but never

NO TIME??? or LIMITED TIME??? Nooooooooo...it's just a matter of PRIORITY!!!

No one has “more” or “less” time. We all have the same time. We just choose to put it somewhere else. 24 hours a day; 1,440 minutes; 86,400 seconds. Whether you’re the president of your country or a farmer somewhere, no one is blessed with “more time”. The most productive people I know are key management officials in major institutions and large family-owned corporations.

It’s not the

Well...this is a catchy question. The answer could be GOOD or NOT GOOD. This question depends on what the family's culture or gearing towards different kinds of business. For me, (and it is what I am doing) I will feel the "pulse" of a family member or friends around me. In my own experience, I just float the idea by informing them that I am into this online business called SFI. Take note that I am only floating the idea with them when they ask me what I am up to at the moment. When I tell

What's the difference between being an SFI affiliate and having a traditional business, and which is better?

Hi...

In traditional business, you need longer time to learn the pros and cons of your chosen business. Management is very intensive and the return of investment is very risky. You need years to develop a traditional business, not to mention the manpower, the space and the equipment you need when you decide to start a traditional business.

With SFI, you don't need much time to develop it. You manage it by yourself and you alone decide on how to go about it and how much you want

Hello Mr. Gias Uddin,

The rule "What you SOW is what you REAP" stands with SFI. If you are employed, you know very well that if you don't work, you will not be paid (no work-no pay policy).

Looking at your profile shows that you haven't "given your all" with your SFI business in your first year. We can not expect to get anything if we haven't given out our best on something. I have also seen that you were just a few days ahead of me here in SFI and I am also

Hi…Happy Holidays!!!

NEVER convince anyone to believe in whatever you do and NEVER ever please anyone in anything you do. If you do…? Failure is apparent…

We have a saying that goes…”Action Speaks Louder Than Words”…

Just do what you have to do and think is right to succeed. When they see you successful…you don’t have to say or do anything to convince anyone of your success. They have their eyes to see what you did and they (including your family)

Greetings!!!

Becoming a Team Leader (TL) is not easy, much more a Platinum Team Leader (PTL). Your question is good...as each Affiliate should really have a "strategy" to become successful in SFI to reach Team Leader position. If I will be asked to share my strategy to become a PTL, I would follow the following strategy:

1. Earn knowledge about your SFI Business. I would say, it's the best and strongest foundation you'll ever have on your way up. Try to vote some more

Greetings!

When I joined SFI, I have the vaguest idea of what SFI is. I don't even know how an online business works and no one guided me step-by-step because maybe I never asked. I started by reading what's available and learned through it, which made me realize that I am trudging the right path. And so...I decided to go on and never quit. (By the way, I found SFI through an advertisement in Jobstreet.com)

Let me enumerate my reasons to persevere with SFI rather than quit...
