This is a very good question and it is a problem that a lot of team leaders face. Most of us joined SFI to earn additional income for our families and struggle to invest in our SFI business. I am lucky that I have an awesome sponsor but I realize not everyone has a caring sponsor or co-sponsor.
One of the main things that you can do is to offer help and encouragement to your team. Respond quickly if they need help or answers to a problem. Send ecards not only to welcome them but to recognize their accomplishments, important milestones such as birthdays and anniversaries, or to congratulate them for winning a contest. The new ecards are awesome.
Use the Stream to keep them up to date on new information and alerts that there might be a problem with a game, etc. or if you find an encouraging quote. Recognize your teams accomplishments in the stream because everyone likes to be appreciated.
Make your weekly team interesting to read and provide them with the information that they need to be successful. Always include an encouraging message. No one wants to read a list of complaints so if you see problems, don't throw them at the team in one letter and include what can be done to fix the the problem.
There are a lot of ways to help your team that only cost you time and attention. Always check your emails and be prompt to reply. Let each member know that they are important to you and to SFI. One of the best examples to me of an awesome sponsor is the patience my team leader showed me when I asked questions and needed help learning. He always had the time to help me and never made me feel stupid even if I asked a question more than once. That kind of help is what kept me going even when otherwise I might have quit. It also made me want to be that kind of team leader!
