A lot of answers in favour of promoting to friends and family have been given and I hope it helped you in deciding what to do.
For me,however, I have found it very difficult to promote to friends and family for the following reasons:
. Emotional attachments to family and friends make it hard to approach them about the business. While they may be supportive in whatever you undertake, they want to distance themselves from you once you start mentioning and promoting SFI/TC.
. Friends will start to avoid visiting or talking to you for fear of being "sold to" or "talked to" in joining you.
. I have learned my hard lessons so now I don't even mention what I'm doing. On a very rare occasions that I get invited to by friends and relatives, I find that I have to keep to myself and pretend to enjoy the occasion. This makes me feel isolated and I feel so sad that my own family and friends would not want to share my dreams.
Strangers are said to be friends we haven't met. So, talking to strangers to promote SFI/TC is a better alternative. They're more interesting to talk to if you just try to listen to them instead of being interesting yourself, you'll find them easier to prospect.
This is the reason why I love building SFI business on the internet.
There are many wonderful strangers out there who we are yet to meet and share our dreams with.
