I believe that a new affiliate in their first month:

1. Should NOT rush through the Launch Pad Lessons
Take the time to read one lesson a day, and ensure that you understand it and put it
into practice straight away.

2. Should NOT rush through the Intermediate Lessons
Also with these keep for the second month, as they are very essential in making it
through and giving you the advise that you need and you may forget them easily.

3. Should NOT be shy or think they can do it on their own
Speak to your Sponsor and to your Co-Sponsor, ask as many questions as you can, if
you are lucky to have a sponsor that sends you email on how to succeed and tips or
suggestions on best way to proceed, take the time to read those emails and if not
sure don't be afraid to ask question. Your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor have been where
you are and they are the best in what they are doing, USE THEM.

4. Should NOT be in a hurry to become team leader
Get a team even if you start with only one person, than make Bronze and slowly work
your way up the chain. It is easy to make GOLD in the first month by doing all the
work in the first month, but the second month on wards making the points gets
harder. So work methodically.

5. Should NOT RUSH through the Ask SC questions
Take the time to read each question and answer, take notes. Don't just say YES or NO
and you actually have not taken the time to read. Don't be afraid to say NO, nobody
can see your ratings, what is important is you are honest with yourself.


All the best in your success with SFI. Do your best and you will surely succeed, Life is your destiny, grab it with both your hands and fulfil it.

Hi Natasa,

There are many things which new affiliates do not in their first month, some of them:

1. They should not skip even one day in solving daily tasks and weekly tasks and to achieve their 6 rounds to complete first month and get the free MRP (Members Reward Points) and VP (Versa Points).

2. They should not be lazy to read and learn this job.
There are lots of materials to learn, because all the material is going to assist them to achieve their goal.

3. They should not be think that they are left to their own .
They need speak to their Sponsor. They can ask everything what they don’t understand their sponsor or in Forum on SFI.

4. They should not rush through the Launch Pad Lessons.
Read day by day. Take the time to read one lesson a day and put it into practice straight away.

5. They should not rush through the Intermediate Lessons .
Keep these for the next month. Intermediate Lessons give the advises that they need.

6. They should not neglect the Ask SC questions.
They must take the time to read each question and answer, take notes. Don't just say YES or NO and they actually have not taken the time to read.

7. They should not be in a hurry to become team leader .
Get a team even if they start with only one person, than make Bronze and slowly work their way up the chain. They must work methodically.

8 They should not go for the price-bender Auctions.
In the first month they watch what are the things necessary.

9. They should not expect big income in their first month in the business because in the any business no one can make money over night.

10. They shoud not forget that SFI is a legitimate business.

All the best

New affiliates ;

1. Should not try to overload themselves with information about SFI business. There is alot of information and training, as a new affiliate you should try incoporate it bit by bit and make use of what you've learned insteading of trying to get everything and finally you get lost and end up doing nothing.

2. Should not give up. Patience is a key to the success of this business.

3. Should not just be money-minded but focus on building a business. SFI is a business opportunity that you expect to build a strong future for you. As it has been said, give it atleast an year and with the required efforts applied you will be earning that money for a lifetime and it will continue to grow and grow.

4. Should not fear to invest. May it be time or some funds. Every successful business needs someone to invest.

5. Should not fear contacting their upline. Your upline is there to help. They probably have been in the business longer hence have experience in the business. As a new affiliate you have questions that need answers and these are the persons who should be there to offer the answer!!

6. New affiliates should not listen to critics about the business. These are people that will never miss in the society. If you listen to them you might lose that opportunity that would have made your life better. Choose your own path.



Hope it helps the new affiliates.

There are a number of things that can hurt you going forward in your first month but the ones I am going to list here are vital mistakes.

Expect overnight riches. This is the biggest failure the 98% of inactive affiliates and opt outs have made is to set unrealistic expectations of how much they will earn and how soon they will earn it. This is a real business and the income is product based and developing a system that is sales focused and gets results can take time.

Failing to pay attention to training and go through it until they understand what exactly they are promoting. Many go straight for their promotion link and paste it everywhere with zero knowledge of effective marketing and don't get any results, or even get a social media account or two banned for SPAM and then they blame SFI for their failure. Worse yet some get a response asking for more details and they can't give these details because they don't know the answer, don't know where to get the answer, and don't know who to ask. They quit because it was all too confusing because they simply skipped over every important shred of information laid out in baby steps by our training center.

Giving Up too SOON! This is the crazy part is a hard worker who comes in and puts in the hours to get through training in their first 30 days and maybe even plays a few auctions or buys some PSA to Go and then come month 2 when this has amounted to a couple dollars in earnings instead of a couple hundred they leave with all their advertising links still up and ready to do the work they were intended to do. My own sponsor has dropped all the way down to AFF and has not contacted anyone in his team in nearly a year because obviously he gave up just before success could find him.

Fact is he may have a pay-day of a couple hundred bucks from my purchases as well as great Bonus Pool earnings from the work of my team that he doesn't even know exist. I mean it seems to me that if he had his payment options set up he should have noticed, logged in, and maybe sent a thank you card or something, but instead he's silent while his business continues without him. He reaches a year though of being inactive and all those earnings that he could have made will vanish as his account is deleted for inactivity.

All because of the choice to react based on immediate results instead of plan for the future.

It is usual to hear "What should new affiliates DO in their first month", but not the other way around -"NOT DO".

I think that affiliates SHOULD NOT just browse through the launchpad lessons without reading them properly. I made that mistake and missed a lot of important information that could have given me the knowledge to move forward in the right direction.
Reading those lessons from day 1 gives you a good foundation to build your SFI business.

Affiliates SHOULD NOT rush to get the VPs for reviewing articles without reading them, and even if you did, you should go back and read them, as you will be missing vital information that can help you later on as you proceed to develop your business.

Affiliates SHOULD NOT miss out on reading through the SFI BASICs and RULES OF SUCCESS. These articles are written to give you wisdom and knowledge on how to proceed to be successful in SFI.

Affiliates SHOULD NOT procrastinate in any way, without first understanding how to make this opportunity a successful venture, hence, should not rush into getting PSA's, as there will be no proper guidance or any knowledge to share to them, to make them want to stay.
To be an AWESOME sponsor, you have to READ to get the knowledge so that you can share and encourage others for the duplication process.

Affiliates SHOULD NOT think of getting rich over night, as ROME was not built in a day. Lots of people join SFI with that thought, and leave with frustration when they realise that they have to put in the work to gain success.

Affiliates are naive if they believe that they can be successful in any business without investing some CASH and their TIME. They should never think of success without investment.

These are my thoughts on what an affiliate should not do in their first month.

Good question.

As we start a project,venture etc., online or off, there is a tendency, by some, to get excited or even 'carried away' with wild expectations about what we can accomplish. There may be great anticipation.On the other hand there are those who may have doubts and misgivings.As a result there could be wrong action, or inaction.

New affiliates should therefore take the following guidelines.

* Do not set unrealistic goals; goals must be attainable, while allowing a measure of challenge.

* Do not rush into action without reading. Read the fundamentals of the business.This would help prevent errors.

* Do not rush through the Launchpad lessons; do them one day at a time.( Many affiliates make this mistake)

* Do not aim at gaining points at the expense of not fully understanding different aspects of the business.

* Do not postpone what can be done today for a later time.

* Do not compare yourself with others who seem to be moving ahead quickly, or even with those who are lagging behind you. This can either cause you to be daunted, or to be puffed up with (unnecessary) pride.

* Do not postpone telling others that you started a new and interesting business online. You do not have to know everything to do this.

* Lastly,do not put yourself into unnecessatry expense just to achieve some status. Invest if you may, but let it flow naturally.

I do hope that these pointers would be a help to new affiliates. I believe, if followed this would help you to plan your work and work your plan without getting 'lost' along the way and eventually giving up. You can be successful at SFI.

Best wishes.

New affiliates have every opportunity to be successful in their SFI business. However, new affiliates should not do the following in their first month:

DO NOT READ OR LEARN MORE THAN NECESSARY
There are plenty of valuable resources at SFI. However, new affiliates should only focus on three areas in their first month namely “START”, “SFI BASICS” and “LAUNCHPAD”. These three core areas will suffice to give new affiliates a good start.

DO NOT TRY TO LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT SFI IN A FEW DAYS
Clicking on links contained in Launchpad lessons will take you to pages in the SFI Affiliate Center. The Affiliate Center can be overwhelming for some people. Do not be overwhelmed. If you feel overwhelmed then just focus on “SFI Basics”.

DO NOT EXPECT QUICK RESULTS
SFI is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Commitment, effort, knowledge and time is needed before new affiliates can achieve results.

DO NOT WORK ALONE
Success at SFI has a lot to do with teamwork. Keep communicating with your sponsor, team members, a2a friends etc and seek out knowledge from experienced affiliates. Also get help at the forum and ASK SC

DO NOT GIVE UP
Sometimes we give up before we even start and other times we give up just before we are about to make that huge break-through that we have been putting so much effort in to achieve. You should never give up. Just keep going.

“Michael Jordan
Arguably the best basketball player of all time. He attributes his success to all his failures. He just never gave up even when he knew he had missed over 300 shots and had missed the winning shot of the game many times. Every time he got knocked down he got back up again.”
"Muhammad ALI
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. Muhammad Ali is one of the best boxers the world has ever known. He suffered only 5 losses while having 56 wins and was the first boxer to win the lineal heavyweight championship three times. This is a guy who literally knows how to get knocked down and get back up.”

Your question is a funny yet interesting one! What should new affiliates NOT do in their first month?

There are many DON'Ts that new affiliates should NOT do, such as:

. Procrastinate. To do or not to do, is not the question, but when to do it. Many new affiliates upon joining SFI will take a quick look at their homepage and when confronted by how much reading and learning they have to do in order to understand SFI, will just logged off and put the thought aside for another day.

. Not logging in regularly to learn the business and to earn VPs, sometimes leaving it too long to come back and check their VP ledgers and thus starting a bad habit.

. Not doing ALL the Red Tabs on their Daily to-do lists, not completing the basics such as Getting Started and Intermediate actions and not reading and understanding the Launchpad Lessons.

. Not investing time, as per above, and money as in setting up a standing order or to purchase items in TripleClicks, and commitment, as in taking the business for granted and not taking it seriously.

. Not communicating with sponsors/co-sponsors, or ignoring the messages sent by them which causes misunderstanding and frustration.

. Not being upfront and honest with their difficulties, whatever they are, that when discussed sincerely and honestly with their sponsors/co-sponsors may have been solved easily.

. Not showing interest at progressing and when they don't succeed, they will blame the system and their sponsors/co-sponsors.

. Not reading, learning, and understanding the SFI procedures and training materials and just being lazy or indifferent to what is being provided free of charge.

These are the recipe for failure, but may teach the new affiliates to learn from their mistakes.

This is a rather very tough question. I believe all affiliates do have their own separate stories to tell. From my experience in SFI, all I ever came across is what I should be doing to succeed in the business. I can not recall if anyone ever told me what I should NOT do in my first month. But with the benefit of my little experience so far, I believe there are things I did which I should not have done particularly in the first month of joining SFI.

Here are some of the things I can recall doing in the first month which new affiliates should not do.

- I tried to know everything about SFI in the first month.
- I came back and logged into my homepage several days after I joined SFI.
- I was not logging in everyday for quite some time.
- I was picking and choosing what red tabs to review in my homepage.
- I totally ignored the forum in the first month.
- I was blaming SFI for my own inadequacies.
- I made no attempt to sponsor any affiliate in the first month.
- I made no attempt to promote or sell any products at TripleClicks.
- I ignored communications from my upline.
- I approached SFI daily routines haphazardly.
- I was fixated on making big money in the first month.

These are some of the things I did in the first month which with the benefit of hindsight, I will now not advise any new affiliate to do.

Hope this answers your question? Please work your business because SFI rocks real good right now. Good Luck.

I don't believe new affiliates should become team leaders in their first month.
Really the only way you could achieve team leader in the first month is by doing all the Getting Started Actions, Launchpad, and Intermediate Actions in one go. That is very do-able because I did it and became a BTL very fast.

But it did me no good at all. I had no team to lead or get matching VP from, and I couldn't maintain that status without spending a fair bit at TripleClicks. Eventually I had to drop back to EA2 because I couldn't sustain the monthly expenditure without anything coming in. I have since worked out that with careful management, those initial 'free' once only VP can be made to last over 3 - 4 months if new affiliates log in every day and do all their daily, weekly and monthly actions, as well as buy just a single TCredit as a Standing order.

During this time you will learn and come to fully understand the business and hopefully have a team to begin to benefit from. When you check your scoreboard page, and see that you are missing earnings that are worth chasing, then go ahead and spend the money to move on up to BTL and beyond - but don't do it in your first month.

Good luck to you
