Strangely enough, I thought of doing this before I'd read your question or seen it asked anywhere else, and I decided it was a great idea.

Of course, it doesn't have to be the same country although that might make things easier if you're thinking about TripleClicks. It could just be someone who speaks the same language. For example, if I have one EA2 from France and a PSA from Cote d'Ivoire, they're obviously not the same country but they almost certainly speak the same language, French.

Likewise, if you have a PSA from Switzerland, find out what region he or she is from and you'll almost certainly have their native language. So if you have an EA2 from the region of Ticino in Switzerland and a PSA from Italy, you could put them together. Of course, Swiss Italian and Italian proper are not exactly the same but they're certainly closer than English and Italian.

It might be worth remembering that the PSA you have, and that you're about to give to an EA, might just be plain useless and his or her lack of progress might have nothing to do with any language barrier. In this case, it might be better to send your EA (or whoever you're assigning the PSA to) a quick email to warn him and say that if the PSA turns out to be a complete tire-kicker, you'll send another, more active one.

This is my first ever Ask SC answer so I hope I've followed all the rules. :-)

Tim Ferriss, the author of the 4-hour work week, claims that whenever someone asks him what he does for a living, he tells them he's a drug dealer. Hahaha. Seriously, he does. Well, I'm not sure if he is being serious and I personally wouldn't tell people the same thing. Also, I doubt there are many people who don't know who Tim Ferriss is anyway.

So, what should you tell people when they ask you what you do? Well, you look like a young man so if someone asks you what you do, you should tell them you're retired! When they look at you as if you're crazy, and ask if you're being serious, you say, "Sure". And then, when they eventually ask you how you can possibly be retired at such a young age, you can then say, "Ah-ha. I'm glad you asked me. I...." and then tell them all about SFI.

Make sure you have same business cards made up, or gift certificates, with your affiliate number so that you can tell them that if they're interested, they should just put in your link and that will make you their sponsor. You can then tell them that, as you will be their sponsor, you'll be able to show them how they can have the same success.

To be honest, I'm not sure there is a great deal of value in having an SFI mentor. Forgive me. I'm not trying to insult all the hardworking guys and gals here but everything you need to know about SFI is already on the website and it's unlikely that you can't find an answer to your problem somewhere. So, what exactly is your problem or why are you having trouble?

Perhaps you can't find the time to do all the daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. Well, there is tons of advice on the forum about this. So if you're still having trouble, google "how to organise my time better" or "how to stop multitasking (a real time-waster by the way) and see what you can find.

Or perhaps you're not having much luck building your downline. Well, again this has all been answered ad infinitum on SFI. So, go to google and search, "how do I build a good downline" or "how to find active direct referrals".

Or you have been doing "paid to click" sites and you've worked out that if you're just clicking and not actually reading any of the websites that come up, then everyone else must be doing the same thing for your website which means it's a complete waste of time. But how DO you get people to come to SFI? At the risk of sounding repetitive, google it!

Personally, I have a great sponsor who send me stuff but, to be honest again, none of it is very original and most of it is just re-hashing stuff on SFI. If I need to find something original and is up-to-date, I (you've guessed it) I google it.
