The key to success with SFI is to consistently and persistently take action.

Sometimes we get in a rut or lose heart, but SFI Corporate has re-charged the SFI system in 2016, so we should be recharged also to make the most of these new opportunities!

We can log in daily and earn the VP but that is easy peasy and your business won't grow.

Promote your ECA's store products Consistently.

This is what I mean by Consistently:

* When sending weekly Team emails, always include a concise link to a product at the bottom.
* Send out an email to your team dedicated to your products, at least every other week. The subject can be: Product ReCap or something to that effect.
* Add one of your products in your Leadership Page, in the I Recommend tab and change it up as often as you want.
* Promote products on

I have found that it is simpler to introduce people to one or the other and they will discover the relationship if needed.

For example:

If we introduce someone to SFI, it's normally because we have discovered that they are interested in pursuing their own business. If they join SFI, they will learn about TripleClicks and will discover the SFI/TripleClicks relationship as they do the Launchpad, and read and grow.

If we introduce them to TripleClicks, it's normally

All Affiliates are on a journey. Their activity level is a reflection of their inherent personality and where they are in their level of commitment to building their business. Some people are go-getters right off the bat and some are more laid back and take things slower. Either type is capable of prospering with SFI.

One way to reach out to your team without offending is to send a generic reminder on the STREAM tab about the benefits and importance in reaching EA. But what is truly

What would you say to a PSA who states that their goal is to find an online job involving filling out forms and typing?

Discovering and falling in love with SFI doesn't always happen overnight, especially because it takes thought and meaningful action. Although there are SFI Basics that we need to follow and repeat to be successful, SFI isn't necessarily redundant nor is it monotonous as filling out forms and typing would be. There is only so far a person can go with that type of online work and it is obvious that the person still has "employee mentality"

How do I identify amongst all my downline members which ones could be superstars in SFI?

I would have to say that it is difficult to tell which members are going to be the superstars other than just waiting to see...

The circumstances around what will motivate us to take action and not give up are as varied and plenty as there are stars in the sky and yet all stars shine.. just some brighter than others.

So it is with all affiliates. Some get a great start then fizzle out and others start slow then zip by everyone else, maybe even their own sponsor!

How do we get the most from the MRP (Member Reward Points) we earn?

If you are active SFI affiliate, you WILL earn MRP points, from being a WAVE3 member to participating in the games and auctions.

It's a great idea to save your MRP earned and then purchase items that will grow your business or help you reach the next level, especially in those months where funds are low. Consider them as money in the bank.

This is exactly what I did and during the holiday months, I was able to maintain my EA status for 4 months by just using my MRP.

Should I advise new PSAs to slow down and not qualify as Team Leaders so quickly?

Personally, I think that as Sponsors and Co-Sponsors, we need to welcome our new affiliates then allow them to learn and grow at their own pace.

If a new affiliate is serious about building a business, they are going to read and do the recommended reading and Launchpad actions. The Launchpad does a very good job of laying out the fundamentals needed and they will figure it out pretty quickly.

To tell them anything other than offering encouragement, is to treat them like an employee

How do you get anyone to do anything except by Leading by Example...

As we know, it is a numbers game. Many will be captivated by SFI & TripleClicks and many won't. What WE CAN control is ourselves and our commitment to being a serious affiliate.

When a person joins SFI, what things are the most important for him or her to do?

The most important thing for a new affiliate to do is the recommended reading and actions discussed in the Launchpad and to purchase the New Member Pack.

With all the information at their fingertips, new affiliates will make up their mind pretty quickly if they are going to proceed or if SFI is a bit out of their comfort zone. If affiliates are serious, they will be hungry for the information and keep learning and growing and will also invest in building their business.
