There are a number of qualities that will definitely help an individual to succeed, but I think the first and foremost is new affiliates need to be willing to learn. I personally have a lot of years' experience of running businesses, both on and offline, but I've learned so much in the short time I've been with SFI. If I had come to SFI with the attitude that I already knew it all, and had refused to learn, it would have really held me back.
So, that is what I believe to be the most important quality. Others, in no particular order, include:
1. Willingness to work. SFI is a business, and all businesses take work. If you are prepared to keep putting in the work on a daily basis, you will succeed.
2. Realistic expectations. As above, SFI is a business. If you come to SFI with the understanding that success in business does not come overnight, and you need to invest time and/or money over a sustained period before you start to see significant returns, you will succeed.
3. People skills. There are two aspects to the SFI business, sales and team building/leadership. Both of these require good communication skills, and an ability to understand the needs of others. Learn to identify the needs of others and help them to achieve their goals, and you will succeed.
The three qualities I listed above are important, but they are not qualities you need to bring with you when you first come to SFI. Anyone can learn to work hard, revise their expectations, and focus on the needs of others before their own. So, a new affiliate can develop those qualities as they go along.
However, without willingness to learn, that development will never take place, which is why I believe willingness to learn is the single most important quality that any new affiliate must bring with them when they come to SFI.
