The answer is easy: Give them hope through honesty. Be prepared to get requests from Affiliates for financial assistance. I received my first request after being with SFI for 3 months (and many after that). "Support" means that I will help you - for FREE. It does not mean that I will buy you bread!
Be honest straight from the beginning. Should an Affiliate ask you for financial assistance straight away (within the first month or before qualifying as EA the first time), you do not need to be polite. This person will be wasting your time. Just explain that it is not ethical to obtain funds through a channel that is there to create income.
Yes, you can assist somebody financially (if you are in the position to do so)BUT; as a leader you can check the activity of that specific Affiliate. If he or she is in a difficult financial situation, he / she will work hard to get out of this. It is a matter of discretion. Do not just give in. Rather offer a challenge and honor your promises should the he / she make the effort.
I am truly not without a hart, but SFI provides you with all the learning material for free, and if you take 15 minutes out of your day, every day, you will earn more than 80 USD per year. In my country that is a lot of money. So what did he / she do?
You need to assist your Affiliates in a way that they can understand that you are on this program to make money too. (That is why you have joined in the first place). I will not borrow money from a family member. Why will I want to borrow money from a person that I do not even really know?
Sorry. For me this is just unprofessional and not business ethics. Make sure you make yourself very clear on this subject when it cross your way.....
