Hi Rebecca,
Great question! I have been reading and researching and continually learning since I joined SFI. I began by reading the books recommended by Gery in the Rules of Success (or was it the Launchpad) ... "Think and Grow Rich", by Napoleon Hill and "The Magic of Thinking Big" by David J. Scwartz. Then I have simply launched on an amazing and incredible journey since then.
The thing that comes up again and again is that not only do we need to have the stick-toit-ness (dedication, determination and never give up kind of attitude) required to succeed but we must be forever and continually thinking of new ways that we can do things. Gery and SFI role model this behavior amazingly. It would be so easy for Gery to say, "Hey, I have a successful business, so good enough" but that NEVER happens in SFI ... not only is he incredibly active in the forums and with us all but he is CONSTANTLY thinking of different things that he can do to make things even better!
So my answer is to continually think and brainstorm ways to reach out to your affiliates. Try something different every day and when you find one thing that works ... even a little ... repeat it. And keep repeating it so long as it works ... but also keep trying new things as well. Never stop thinking about ways you can reach out to your team and ways that you can help your team. Be creative. Think outside the box. Push beyond that point of thinking there is nothing else you can do ... and find one more thing to do.
And, as suggested in one of my recent reads ... spend ten minutes at the start of every day thinking about what you can do differently to improve your communication and interactions with your affiliates. Think about how you can add value. How can you connect with even just one affiliate on a more personal level, building trust and instilling faith in your SFI business.
I hope this provides you with some food for thought.
Be Strong and Keep the Faith!
