I think the greatest challenge for anyone would be trying to learn the business well enough to keep afloat. The fear is "sink or swim" and no one ever thinks of staying afloat. If you can just float along doing your daily tasks for that first month without the worry of sinking or swimming too hard then there is a real good chance you will get better and stronger. You will eventually swim along gaining some affiliates along the way and then the Versa points will grow. Before you know

My biggest challenge was sticking on and not quitting, after investing in PSA packs.

I had invested in more than 10 - yes, TEN packages, buying affiliates, including S-Builder, and got only 3 active ones. And 2 out of the 3 active, gave up, after a couple of months... All the rest had fake id's!

It was really frustrating, you keep sending mails, they don't respond, and then one day, to check their e-mail id's and they don't exist!

The only thing that kept me going

My great challenge to succeed in SFI is, I have treated this business as my own business. I have treated this business very seriously, full time work towards this business, kept full effort as well as committed to its success.

To make success this business I have made:
1. Follow-ups
2. Sent E-cards
3. Reviewed launchpad lessons
4. Reviewed course of internet income
5. I used to send group mails to personally sponsored affiliates as well as company sponsored

We have all, at least I have joined because of earning additional income. I took my time to study the programme and one of things was Earning calculator. I put some numbers in and than there was a prediction of my earnings over time.
I played with it and then asked myself?
How I am going to make it? Will I give up somewhere along the way? Do I have enough patience to wait for the satisfactory income?

But then again the earning formula is simple and I said to myself: It is all

I interpret success as the achievement of a goal. Many goals I want to accomplish in SFI.

Doubt is a big problem - perhaps the largest - for me, then find a solid footing which gives certainty or strong expectations regarding the chances of successfully running the SFI business is my greatest challenge.

I believe without a confidence, then there wouldn't arise a spirit in running any activity, nor is there any targets to be achieved.

It took me eight months to remove

My greatest challenge to success in SFI was changing my mindset from the get rich quick schemes that I seem to be falling into, to the way that SFI works.
I had to make up my mind to spend both time and money into this business without getting paid immediately. I told myself I will stay in this for six months to see whether it made sense.
I then realised that every month I was making money even though it wasn't as much as I had hoped for but I was making money.
So I stuck with it and

I am just trying to build a successfull business on SFI but i know that the greatest challenge to succeed in SFI is to be an awesome sponsor so that i can be always usefull to my downline.

To succeed in SFI, the most important things to do is to read, learn and duplicate so that your downline can in their turn read, learn and duplicate. Keep always in mind that your success is tied to the success of your downline. You must teach your downline to do like you do.

To summarize,

My greatest challenge I had in SFI is "fear of rejection". Some people Are going to say no, in fact, more people will say no than say yes. The only way I had to deal with rejection is accept it and not to take it personally. One can focus on the positive sides and treat rejections as steps to another partner and profitable deal. The specifics of the SFI career is that you have to deal with people and people are different. Some are not very nice. You have to accept it as well as the fact

My biggest challenge is discouragement!

When you see some of the ads and read some of the things written by affiliates, you can get the idea that this business is easy and that you will make money quickly.

With little to no help from my sponsor and upline, and being new to this business, I have struggled. I didn't have an EA my first 5 months!

I am still in the process of overcoming but it takes determination, and the ability to see the big picture.
