Is it worthwhile to whom? I think of the story about an old and a young man on a beach. The old man bends over, picks up a starfish and Frisbees it into the water and then walks to the next starfish and does it again. After awhile the young man has to ask, "Do you think what you're doing matters?"
The old man replies solemnly as he again casts a starfish into the sea, "It does for that one."
Sure, when we get into SFI we want to make money fast. But there is a bigger picture here, too. There are many people in the world who are desperate for the opportunity that SFI gives. Their whole lives, and that of their families, too, could drastically change if they were given that option.
Whether they don't speak English, use their computer for more than email and socializing, have a lot of money, know a lot of people who respect them, etc., there are some who if given the choice would join SFI and actually become successful at it.
Sure we want the easy ones who jump right in, have the money to buy products and advertising, are respected in their communities, speak English and other languages, know lots about their computer, and have charismatic personalities, and grasp the training on the first read. But they are few and far between and don't always work out either.
So as it takes no more effort to recruit them than the "good" ones, go ahead and through some ads to them. Make it worthwhile for both you and those others. They are no less worthwhile than those who speak English. Each group will require different type of leadership focus, but it is worthwhile in recruiting both.
