Hello, Morena Antic

Success requires advanced planning.

The best way to successfully start the new month is to plan for it before the end of the previous month.

A. We can start to assess our monthly results and achievements one week prior to close of the current month. We know accurately how the month will end.

Then we need to ask ourselves few questions.

(a) Are we going to reach our monthly goals?

(b) If not, why?

(c) What lessons can we learn from this month?

(d) How to improve these results for the next month?

B. From this assessment we start planning for the upcoming month with the following focus:

1. Set attainable goals, and identify specific actions which will make us reach those goals.

Sponsoring efforts and advertising campaigns have to be planned in advance and in effect before the end of the month, if we hope to see timely results.

The same goes for sales of Tripleclicks products and the contacts with potential ECAs. We know that the process of application and approval of ECAs may take some time. It may also take another time to get the ECAs to start listing their products.

2. The above goals are our monthly plan A. Execute that plan flawlessly and on a timely manner

3. Identify additional actions (Plan B) that will supplement our plan A. If anything goes wrong in plan A, plan B will compensate.

4. Be consistent and steadfast on our planning and execution and work on our plan every day.

5. Next month, set higher goals and follow the same process.

C. Periodically, review our plan to see what works and what does not work. Improve the areas where we get results. Find additional areas where we have the potential to get positive results.

This is the secret to making money and having a fulfilling life.

Good luck to every one of us all.

I wish us all a life of ease, contentment and full happiness.

I believe the best way to start the month(or to start anything!) is with a positive attitude and a clear, achievable set of goals. The rest will follow.

Use this attitude to set challenging but attainable goals. Think about each goal you are setting - is it going to really push you to get the best result? Is it something that you can actually do?

If you set your goals too high and lofty you probably won't achieve them which will erode your morale and eventually lead to giving up. Don't decide you will attract a million PSA's in a month unless you have a real way to do that - which is almost impossible. You set yourself up for failure with this .

Instead, make a goal based on last month - did you sign up 2 PSA's? Then make a goal to get 3. Did you set your sights on becoming an EA? This month go for Bronze TL.

When you start out your month with a set of goals in place that you will likely reach it. This will motivate you to keep doing your best - and eventually, depending upon you, will end up with everything you have set a goal for.

Next month, wash, rinse and repeat.

The first thing I do is to review my progress of the last month. If it was successful then I would definitely want to repeat those actions exactly then step it up a bit in line with my goals. Therefore, I would want to have an improvement the next month.

If the month was not so good, I would immediately scrutinize the actions to see where I encountered obstacles or where I slipped. I would then review my goals to see what needs to be adjusted. I then try to fix all problems. If possible I consult my upline and I am never afraid to ask for assistance. I also communicate daily with my a2a friends and I regularly search the Forum. Remember, SFI operates as a family. We are all here to help.

Setting and readjusting goals is a great way to keep yourself on track and to monitor your progress in this business. I work on many short term goals to reach to my immediate pinnacle. These are achieved month by month and sometimes even day by day. It would lead to my ultimate pinnacle. If you plan on becoming a team leader, it is a priority. You have to think Success to be a Success!

Without a doubt the best way to start a month is to have a Standing Order for a product that has 1500 VP or more attached to it, which not only gives you valuable VP to start the month off with, but also instantly elevates you to the rank of Executive Affiliate. My suggestion is the SFI TCredit 125 Pak which is heavily discounted if you place it as a Stansing Order, which has 1500 VP attached. Not only are you immediately an EA, but you also have 125 TCredits that you can use to participate in Pricebender Auctions if you wish. When doing this there are other built in benefits, like earning 1 VP for every bid, 5 MRP's for every bid (and sometimes 10 MRP, look out for the 'double MRP' auctions), and also the opportunity of actually winning an auction. I regularly bid on TCredit auctions, and when I win then I have even more TCredits to use on items I really want.

The next best thing you can do is contact your PSA's and CSA's, try and get them motivated for the new month, offer some reward via a competition, or maybe even just give them some great tips to ensure they are visiting SFI regularly and earning VP. These actions won't give you instantly earn you VP, but you will reap the rewards later in the month with Matching VP if you motivate them enough. Remember, this is also part of being an awesome sponsor.

Thirdly, make a commitment to yourself to visit SFI EVERY DAY, there is an abundance of VP available throughout the month, but if you don't complete all the Daily Actions then they are gone forever, you can't come back a couple of days later and recoup them, they simply aren't available.

Lastly, try and have some SBuilder Co-Op shares, even as a Standing Order if possible, and as your PSA's grow coach and mentor them as soon as they appear on your downline. If you motivate them enough they will also provide you with Matching VP later in the month.

TIP: Don't just do one or two of the above tasks, DO ALL OF THEM. And if you start from the first of the month then you will have a healthy VP Ledger at the end of the month, thus ensuring a far better commission payout.

Lastly, repeat these actions month after month, stay committed, the rewards will definitely follow.

This is a great question. It depends on whether this is your first month after becoming an EA or higher, your first month in the business etc. If you are just starting, do "Start", "SFI Basics", "Launchpad" and especially Daily Actions.

Once started already,this is what you could do for maximum benefit:

1. Go to you To-do-list or your Alerts page and do four things.

- Rate your sponsor, 10 VP and

- Set your goals for the upcoming month (5 VP). Give this some careful thought. Goals should include, not only the acquisition of VP, but learning, earning, advertising, and more.

- Ask for more information and/or share goals with your sponsor(s). They want to help.

- See if you are eligible to get a Payoneer Card – 500 VP Accumulate $20 in commissions if you are not eligible.

2. If you haven't already, set up an SO, standing order. 1500 VP or more automatically makes sure you qualify for EA every month, (or any amount to start the habit).

Single TCredits are great if you are short on funds. Each Single TCredit costs $1.99 (less if an SO), earning you 102 VP each. Don't order a pack if you want maximum VP.

The SBuilder is a good standing order. You can also set up a co-op, earning you 100 VP - by going to Co-op manager (Under Power Tools).
Other good SOs - 125 VP pack or IAHBE is worth 1500 VP.

3. Start the habit of logging onto your SFI Account every day. Do your daily actions and earn a chance to be entered into the E365 contest.

In one month, for just doing daily actions you can earn up to 1130 VP - 500 VP for Pricebender Auction bids, 50 for song downloads, 50 for listing a product or service for sale at TripleClicks, 200 from T-time and Zackpot (see 4) , and 33 VP/day for red tabs. That's 1130 VP! For those of you who are trying to reach Team Leader status these are Action VPs! More if you win prizes.

It’s good to have TCredits so you can do the above actions.

4. Start entering all the contests you can, listed on the Daily Grand Prize page. You can enter the T-time contest once every hour until you win 2 TCredits that day. You earn 1 VP for every entry. Using those TCredits enter the Time Machine Zackpot (or other contest once that's done). That's another VP. You can earn up to 200 VPs just doing those two contests, T-Time and Zackpot.

6. Check out the free advertising and make a plan for the month. Also see your gateways that you can use to advertise different areas of SFI. You’ll find them under “my account”. They have your SFI id # so you will be credited for any sign ups using your gateway. Make sure you give your friends that information.

7. If you haven’t already, join Wave3 and get advertising and prizes every month. It costs under $2.00 and can be purchased at your TripleClicks Store.

To your success!

Let me say straightaway that all you need is PLANNING and EVALUATION before you begin a new month. You should evaluate your achievements for the previous month vis-à-vis the plans you had for the month. Based on the outcome of your evaluation, you can then draw up a new plan for the new month. That is about why SFI insists that you set goals in everything you do in the business.

In SFI business, it is very difficult to succeed without advanced planning. To make plans for a new month, it is advisable to establish first if you met your goals for the past month. If not, find out and establish the “why not?” Draw your lessons from that evaluation then use the lessons as a platform to plan for the new month.

From my own experience, the best way to successfully start a new month is to plan for it before the end of the previous month. Roughly a week to the end of the month is about ideal. That is the time I do my own calculations and projections based on the goals I voluntarily set for myself. I sincerely believe that anyone who is consistent in doing so diligently and sincerely will have no problem succeeding in the following month.

I do hope this answers your question. Best wishes.

If you have just joined SFI towards month end you have a choice of transferring your VP done so far, to the 2nd month, to give you a chance of reaching EA, much faster.
But new or older affiliate, ensure you do all your Daily VP, enter the Daily grand draw, enter the TTime, guess the price, this for a chance to win Tcredits, CSA’s, VP’s. Do all your weekly and monthly Actions, and you will have 497 VP

Have your Standing Order in place for at least 1500VP. This guarantees your position as EA2 without effort, time spent, or worrying about making it.

Now you can concentrate on acquiring at least another 1500VP to reach Bronze Team Leader. (Or higher, as you please.)

If your Sales VP (purchase of SO and maybe other products totaling 2000VP, or SO for between 1500-2000VP) total 2000, you only need 1000 more for BTL. My order is for a little over 1500, it's a little easier, and I still have room for purchases.

Then I make sure to visit Time Machine daily, Pick the Price of auctions, and I bid in auctions during the month. I make sure to do all the daily, weekly and monthly tasks on To-do list, and I rate 30 askSC answers most days (at least 10 EVERY day). I answer new questions in askSC (if I know an answer), too, hoping one day to have a top answer.:)

I make time to read Forum posts/replies as a learning process, and to keep up with what's up with others.

You need to do all the things you possibly can to promote YOUR business to the best of your ability - EVERY DAY!...

The best way to begin a new month in sfi and be successful is as follows:

a. Review the previous month’s goals to see how you fared compared to your expectations. Was your goal(s) to advance to the next rank, refer certain numbers of affiliates, earn certain elusive badges, earn certain amount of commission etc? Did you accomplish them or not? If you didn’t, why?
Establish and investigate the variances between your goals and expectations and take corrective actions for future review.

b In the light of the above, set the current month’s attainable goals to guide you to success.

c Set up a standing order of at least 1500 VersaPoints to maintain your executive rank. i suggest 125 pack of Tcredits. The choice of Tcredits is predicated on the numerous benefits you get from it . With the Tcredits you can bid on any of the business building tools like S-Builder, Tc gift cards, PSAs, CSAs etc which can help you to build your business.

d Advertise your various gateways to attract PSAs PRM and customers to your TripleClicks stores.

e. From the first day to the last day of the month, complete your To- Do-List without missing out on any single VP

Dear Morena,
1. I think first and foremost you have to brace yourself with positive attributes such as POSITIVE ATTITUDE, DISCIPLINE, PERSEVERANCE & MANY MORE. You need these throughtout as you do your SFI Business. You also need to be PASSIONATE about SFI, hence general knowledge of the ins & outs of SFI is necessary, otherwise you get frustrated and demotivated.

2. You will need to do an analysis of the preceding month, to check on your successess & failures and also find out WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, for you to end up with the results you had, whether positive or negative. Reinforce the positives and find ways to overcome the negatives.

3. Set yourself SMART goals, not only what the GOALS TAB offfers, but go beyond that and say what you want to acieve for the month.

4. Having set your SMART goals, then make sure you have the self discipline from day one of the month to follow through with the relevant ACTION PLANS that you would have laid down for yourself.

5. In summary do everything that you should do for your business, from day one of the month, according to a laid down plan. Dont lose Focus, press on to achieve your set target
