There are no shortcuts to SFI or any other venture that you plan to make a success of.

There is no other way to accomplish success other than hard work, resilience, grit, determination, good business acumen, experience, motivation, belief and the mental attitude to move forward despite all odds.

You are either motivated or not. You are going to hang in the business, despite all odds-giving up will be a defeat that can engulf you easily but you have to conduct your business wisely, with integrity and honesty.

New affiliates look for quick results and this will not happen unless you
- plan wisely
- execute shrewdly
- diversify and try out innovative ideas, however silly they appear to be

This too requires a significant amount of input on your part and therefore I do not see a shortcut.

The old saying goes:"the only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary."

I am not going to rewrite the laucnhpad so you should read Day 11 titled "Overnight Success? NOT!" https://www.sfimg.com/LaunchPad/Day11

On SFI Success does not happen overnight, some people succeed more quickly than others but still it takes at least 6 months or a year to start seeing some significant profit. You have to think long term, and take action everyday, actions can be small but very significant for building and growing your business.

When I first started SFI I also wanted to make 3 figure or 4 figure income but I read this chapter of the launchpad and learned that success takes time.

"You reap what you sow" that means that in order to get the harvest you want you have to plant the right seeds at the right time because you cannot expect an instant harvest you have to spend time working and planting to get results.

Being realistic is an important factor to success because if you want to make enough money in this business to quit your job then you first have to have money to invest and where do you think that money will come from? YES YOUR JOB! BINGO!

For your question,

"Are there any shortcuts to success in SFI for new affiliates? "

I don't think so,

you need to work and try everything you could and more important don't be afraid to try new thing you never done.

I have been with SFI for 11 month now.

By staying with *SFI, reading training materials, visiting the forum, and generally staying informed with all the new opportunity, this is what I have learned.

My business requires an investment of time and money, just like any other Business.
I am prepared to accept that and put in the necessary effort to see results.

I have been logging in every day to make sure that I keep informed about my business.

I need to advertise my business every day. Whether it is paid advertising or free advertising, this needs to be done.

I need to promote my business and SFI provide gorgeous Marketing tools.

I will treat my affiliates as my customers, because that is what they are.

I always send them an email when they have achieved EA status or higher.

Communication with my affiliates is vitally important. I use the PSA and CSA mailer consistently.

I keep a standing order for at least 1500VP each month so I don't lose my EA status and I get an extra 2 entries in the Daily Grand Drawings *each day*, 2 CSA's every month, some MRP’s and 100VP’s ACTION point each month.

I look at my standing order like an investment.

Whatever I tried in the past that didn't work doesn't mean something else in the future won't.

If I do nothing, I can expect nothing. If I quit, I lose.

Just work hard and stay focus on your Goal! :)

Good Luck!

Yes and no.

There are NO shortcuts to actually showing up to "work" and doing the activities needed to
make a real business in SFI. I encourage daily, with most of those days to work longer, and
one or two where you can do the minimum weekly.


And YES, there are shortcuts like:

Allot an amount of money monthly for some of the following.

-maintain EA or higher with standing order for 1500-2000 sales points monthly.

-participate in auctions and earn the max 500 action points available monthly.
in the auction choose business related to bid on like CSA's or PSA's as well as other things
you may like.

-purchase PSA's from tripleclick ECA's and now SFI.

That is just a few of the basic ways. Also, do PTP, and games, to earn more points beyond
what you can earn for showing up everyday to do all the daily to-do's and red tabs.

Don't forget to advertise and promote online/offline. There is no shortcuts for these need to
do activities. A shortcut for that would be some kind of set it and forget it kind of advertising.
Or, purchasing downline, as already mentioned. Plus, advertise on your car. It does the
work for you effortlessly.

(also no substitute for regular reading and learning all you can to know your business, be inspired
and work with your team to help them)

Hello Wong,

I think the simple answer is NO!

But having said that, Set up Your Standing Order giving You EA Status, then if you were to recruit 15 active Affiliates, who each make it to EA2 Status each and every month, they would earn you 1500 Action VP's, (15 x 100 Action VP's.)
If they gain higher Status you will also earn more Action VP's from them?

Plus providing they have a Standing Order set up each month, you would earn a very good Commission from that?

I re-invest any money I make on SFI or TripleClicks back into the Business, it has paid me to do this, as after my 4th month on SFI it started to pay for it's self, by this I'm saying any money I have made has covered my Standing Order & a little extra to boot!

Follow the 3 simple rules:

1, Become an Executive Affiliate(EA) and remain an EA Every Month.

2, Recruit 5 Affiliates using the methods listed here ---> https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

3, Teach your Affiliates to do the Same 3 Steps.

This is what we learn on one of the very first pages we visit when we Join SFI, the Ready, Set, Go! page, we watch the video from Gery Carson.
Then I think a lot of us seem to forget there are very simple rules set in place to help us in this Business?

Anyway I hope this helps a little?

See You at The Top Soon.

Being successful anywhere - in a Job, In a business, In a task, In SFI all have common factors.

At first- Define meaning of Success in SFI for yourself. Do not compare with what others achieve or do not achieve in SFI.

Take 100% responsibility for Success or failure in your business
Develop purpose, determine a what you want from this business .
Develop your strategy
set daily goals.
Improve everyday
Be passionate
Take actions
Have determination and patience
Be ready for unexpected change
be focused.

The rules of success are common in general. We think them as Longcuts as we do not get habituated to follow the rules. When We are habituated to follow the rules of success they become shortcuts.

For example check if you really take all the actions mentioned in the To to Tab. If you make a habit of taking all actions , one day things will happen in Autopilot mode and you will feel that Success is very near.

If you decide to be EA every month short cut is placing Standing Order for 1500 vp
If you decide not to have investment but earn commissions shortcut is to place advertisement daily
If you decide to be a country leader short cut is to buy as many products from Tripleclicks and earn vps.
If you decide to buy product without any financial investment from your side shortcut is to enter in hourly T credit award contest and accumulate as many T credits as possible and buy products
If you want to be a winner in auctions, follow the tips and enter in appropriate auctions
If you want to have PSAs and CSAs without advertising buy them in auction
If you want to get PSAs without advertising on your own, Buy S builder units.

In conclusion, if we make a habit of any act, it becomes a shortcut but if we do not want to take efforts there are other shortcuts available as listed above for example.

Does that answer your question?

Good day,

That is a good question, one I had asked myself numerous times and each time I came up with the following answer:

- Anything easily gained is easily lost, this is very true.

- When you have worked hard for something, it feels like it is worth it and that you have truly earned it. You can actually be proud of yourself and you feel that you have achieved something worthwhile.

- When trying to take short cuts in life you generally end up forgetting something, or you end up taking the longer way.

Therefore I do not believe that there any short cuts, there is a lot to read and therefore you need to ensure you understand what you are doing to ensure your business with SFI is a success. A successful business begins with you and if you work really hard and really want to succeed you will succeed.

Where there is no way of shortcuts to build your successful life, carrier, future, there shouldn’t be any shortcuts to success not only in SFI business but also any business or income opportunities to be successful

Affiliates are well known those who come to join SFI to watch the advertisement or search internet that SFI is a Real and long term business. There is no overnight success scheme or assurance of a lot of dollars in a few hours in SFI. So the question shouldn’t be arise of shortcuts to success

But there is some exception in every sphere of life as well as source of income

New affiliates can invest a lot to earn VPs and buy everything to reach at the top to become a Platinum Team Leader within a short period to make the following

A Standing Order of 1500 VP

Buy T-Credits, PSAs in TripleClicks at random, win PSAs in auctions, join Wave3, distribute Gift Cards

Set up S.Builders for self to get new sign ups and also free S.Builder co-op for the entire team and help them to become EA2 in regular basis to send Gift Certificates

A premium website/blog to traffic exchange, set it in all search engines to be a top enroller

Generate purchase/sales and refer ECA at random and to join ECA program

Rapid advertisement in free/paid sites

Participate in auctions to bid, daily grand, New Eager Zebra Games

These are the shortcuts just like a house made by playing cards and it may break at any time. So there is no guarantee of shortcuts to be successful in SFI business as proper team building and duplication is the main objects in this business

Shortcuts to Success with SFI!

Hi Wong Sindoro,

To answer your question: "Are there any shortcuts to success in SFI for new affiliates?" I would have to say NO! My reason is three-fold, "You must learn to crawl, before you can walk, then you must walk before you can run!"

CRAWL BEFORE YOU CAN WALK:
As a new SFI Affiliate, the primary key to your success will be through education. Educating yourself to the SFI way takes time and patience, likewise does financial success. SFI provides the training (https://www.sfimg.com/Training) and marketing (https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter). You must provide an understanding of why such is important, then begin executing according to plan. But remember, education never ends. It just gets easier with time!

WALK BEFORE YOU CAN RUN:
During the education process, there are actions that must be taken such as the "To-Do List" (https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=to-do_list) of things you need to accomplish daily. Consider these daily actions as part of the "WALKING" stage of your quest for success with SFI. Keep in mind that all new affiliates with SFI start at the same leveled 'playing field.' As part of that 'playing-field' VirsaPoints have been established. We must all accumulate the required monthly VersaPoints to advance from one level to the next. The more we advance (i.e. BTL, STL, etc.) the greater our benefit. https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan

NOW, YOU CAN RUN:
Once you've conditioned yourself to the training, marketing and completing the required daily actions, you begin to see how they all come together to help you succeed as an SFI Marketing Affiliate. You begin to understand while it is possible to succeed without heavy investments of both time and money, there are certain 'shortcuts' you can take in order to advance more rapidly. One, of course, is establishing a Standing Order (https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/StandingOrders) guaranteeing you sufficient VirsaPoints needed to advance each month. But remember, such 'shortcuts' won't guarantee success. Taking necessary actions are the only possible things that will put you in position to succeed. Family, friends, co-workers, etc., all become a part of your 'running to succeed' through your TripleClicks E-Commerce Store.

Of course, there is more, but you get the general idea I'm sure.
