Overrated Activity~ personally I am undecided.
Why - I do not think that any activity is overrated for all the SFI affiliates. Each person brought in different skills before they become an affiliate. Naturally I would expect them to gravitate to something they are - if not familiar with -- then are at least marginally interested in, while looking to further their knowledge and skills base.
Underrated Activity - The practical how to areas of SFI.
By this I include the lesson plans [Launch Pad and the other ones], The actual rules and regulations / terms of agreements. Plus OAX [Other Affiliates eXperiences] which include the forums and 'AskSC'.
Rational
Without a basis of knowledge, as well as furthering that knowledge, our minds will get 'stale'. Lets look at the 'AskSC' requirement of 10 clicks = 1 VP. Even if an affiliate just wanted to click and move on, they still have to wait for the arrows to fade in. Something will catch their attention - say a keyword or phrase previously known or one they are wanting to find out more about. The affiliate reads one discussion. Later reads another one. Soon that affiliate may write an answer as well. Other affiliates vote. Up pops another badge on that affiliates page - in this case a Top Author XXXK votes badge.
Actually the badges are testaments to how affiliates are both influencing other people and themselves with self learning. Natural progression of this process is that one small part of self learning is then applied to other areas. Now other keywords and phrases are seen through the other pages. The affiliate becomes familiar with the terminology and thus begins to segment different pieces of theory and practical knowledge together. As the affiliate is literally being rewarded they find themselves want to do more - because they now know they can after all they have been rewarded as well as being part of the SFI community. Plus their own team and a2a's have dropped 'a note' to them as well.
Gradually the 'underrated activity' above becomes a habit. Thus when the affiliate talks to a future affiliate [ there are so many out there too] the knowledge basis has been subtly increased. More answers are ready to be both utilized by that affiliate and their CSA' and PSA's - thanks to the subliminal internal programming which allows each affiliate to want to be 'their best'.
An example has been a question on what external tools are used by affiliates. Affiliates answered with a lot of common ones. But the internet is still developing. Many other 'sites' are emerging every day. Affiliates who read this answer now have other sites to share for themselves or their teams affiliates.
In conclusion:
Strong Futures International has set out of course of learning - unintentional or not - with which people grow within themselves, share with others and develop a better business sense. Results = both an inter and intra supported cohesive collaborative community development program.
Thank you SFI Team. It is really good to be included here.....
