Thank you for asking this valid question!
I am fairly new to SFI (new to marketing altogether) but have learned so much in just over a month from the wealth of training provided by SFI. I apologise that I am not as articulate as many who answer here but feel I would like to contribute by sharing what I have learned.
Personally, I believe that all we need to succeed in SFI is the capacity to learn. SFI provides us with the necessary tools and gives us the know-how to implement them. If one follows the steps provided in the LaunchPad and the training tab then he/she are well on their way to success. Here's what I have learnt along the way:
1. Patience
I must admit, on my first day, I had a lot of unrealistic expectations but I soon learned-through reading the lessons provided-that to build a successful business, I must first concentrate on building a solid foundation. SFI is not a scam. It does not offer any Get-Rich-Quick Scheme. What it does offer is...through hard work and time spent building your down line and time spent on building an advertising campaign to sell TripleClicks products, you can earn a reasonable income...and if you apply yourself even further, you can earn enough to quit your job.
2. Determination
Get a grip on your emotions and focus on your goals. Once you've determined what you want out of your business, set a realistic time frame to achieve your goals. Be determined and apply yourself daily in the pursuit of your goals. This is a business therefore you must treat it as such. Clock in everyday and be the best that you can be.
3. Motivation
Not only will you need to be motivated but you will need to motivate your team. If this is your first leadership role, take advice from your up line. Visit the 'Be an Awesome Sponsor' page. Do all you can to attain the skills needed to motivate your team. Duplication of your success is a key factor in SFI Basics(not without good reason). If you have managed to achieve your goal of how many active members you personally sponsor, teach your PSAs how to duplicate your goals and they will teach their PSAs and so on.
Give me another month and I am certain I will answer this question far more extensively. I hope I have been able to contribute and help others to see that SFI works if you apply it daily and take in all the knowledge provided.
Thank you!
