Your sponsor is only one of the many help channels available to you at SFI.
However, your sponsor is not responsible for the success, or the failure, of your SFI business.
If you do have an awesome sponsor, that's fantastic. They will be happy to help and guide you, especially in the early days, while you are still finding your way around. They may even make a difference as to whether you actually get started with SFI or not, by reducing initial overwhelm with a clear and simple-to-follow welcome message. However once you get started, your goal should be to find your own way around the SFI website, because you need to learn to be an awesome sponsor too.
You can find probably 99% of any answers you need by using:
- the Forum
https://www.sfimg.com/forum/
- Ask SC
https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=ask_sc
- the SFI Sitemap
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/Sitemap
- the menu bar across the SFI website
- the Search bar at top of SFI website
I advise anyone to make full use of the forum as early as possible, because they will often get a much quicker response, due to different time zones (they may be working while I am sleeping), and when they are wanting more creative ideas, rather than prescribed answers, they will get a more varied range of answers in the forum.
Bear in mind also, that your sponsor may be quite new to SFI themselves, and they may not have the answer immediately, although they should be willing to help you find out, as much to help themselves learn as to help you too.
You should aim to build a mutually supportive relationship with your sponsor. Chat with them, share your ideas, let them know how you're getting along, congratulate each other on achievements. That's much nicer than only contacting them with problems or issues.
An awesome sponsor may help to keep you motivated, but someone who is really committed to building their SFI business should not really need that. You need to focus on your own reasons for joining SFI, and your own goals.
There are many SFI Team Leaders, myself included, who began without any active sponsor at all. It may have meant a slightly slower start, but a motivated individual will start regardless. It is equally possible to reach the top ranks of SFI without any sponsor, as with an awesome sponsor.
An active and helpful sponsor is certainly a great asset, but the lack of one should not be an excuse to quit or fail.
Also, bear in mind that even an active sponsor is not a mind-reader, and does not know exactly what you know or don't know, even if they are monitoring your activity as closely as they possibly can. If you have a question, and you can't find the answer, it is your responsibility to take the initiative and ask!
If you have a question that is not or cannot be addressed in the forum, and you do not have an active sponsor, you also have access to:
- your co-sponsor
- your upline
- a2a friends
- SFI Support team
An awesome sponsor should encourage their team to find the answers for themselves, rather than become dependent on them. Remember the saying "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime".
Ultimately, only you are responsible for the success of your SFI business.
