Wow, Steve, your question made quite a stirr here as you can judge by the number of replies.
In fact saying anything new here is rather hard now, so I'd like to refer to a few things that are repeated the most often.
To be a superstar you need a crowd of followers, right? And these followers will be your PSAs and CSAs. But how do you make them follow you, anyway? They will if you follow these three simple rules:
1. Honesty is the best policy - while communicating with your downline members, be honest if you point out at your own achievements, i.e. don't exaggerate, and also tell people how much time, work, effort, money was needed to achieve this or that goal. Remind them that they may reach different results, depending on their commitment.
2. Lead by the example - if you recommed anything within SFI or SFI-related you MUST be a member of it. If you insist that your affiliates set up a Standing Order for 1500 VP, you must have one yourself (the TC badge reflects your SO status). If you say - socialize via A2A platform, you MUST be a meember of A2A, etc. If there is no badge to display the status, simply explain that you use this or that, it works for you, and you recommend using it.
3. Educate - that's the hardest part of all, because you will hardly ever get any response to your mailings. But do prepare a series of training letters to your affiliates, based on what you have already learned and share that knowledge with your downline members. Or simply communicate with them on a current basis if you wish. Respond to e-mails asking you for help or explanation.
I don't know how much time you have scheduled for SFI on your agenda, but as far as my experience goes 2 hours a day should be enough.
And one more thing before I go - don't expect results too quickly. Some people here needed years to reach their current position. If you find a shorter way, be so kind and let me know :)
