What should new affiliates NOT do in their first month?
This is a very good question because oftentimes we hear what we are to do but not to do when we become new affiliates in SFI. From my experience, the don'ts do have a positive impact on the way new affiliates approach their newly found business. What are some of the don'ts that new affiliates should apply? The list follows.
1.Do not forget to get their monthly training that SFI offers through the Launch Pads.
2.Try neglect the

There are several things that new affiliates should not do in their first month:

1. Avoid communication with sponsor and uplines and think they know it all, as guidance in the first month is of crucial importance for success in this business;
2. Postpone starting to advertise for too long – they don’t have to know everything before they start recruiting, in fact, responsibility for new members can only accelerate their own learning. They should get down to making a blog or website

Many newbies are overly anxious at the beginning of any thing when they have no idea of what the outcome will be. However that is okay, but with SFI here are some things you should not do in your first month.
1. Do not think that SFI is a get rich quick scheme.
2. Do not just click away just to earn points, and not taking time out to read and learn.
3. Not setting a definite time to visit their home page and completing the daily tasks.
4. Getting frustrated and giving up.
5.

Hi! I think that the first month of joining SFI should be the time for learning, reading, and doing the actions that brings enough Versa Points for E365 challenge and getting the EA status.
So they shouldn't start with advertising at the beginning and they should not run into marketing or buying something before they are capable to learn others about this job at least about important things and before they understand the meaning of TC store.
That's why there are 30 training lessons, and

New affiliates should not fail to login daily and do the daily activities to gain all the free versa points of the day.

They should not stay below the green line

They should not miss out of the E 365 contest

They should not fail to do their launchpad lessons consistently

They should not fail to contact their sponsors and ask questions on what they do not understand.

They should not try to become ECA until they have mastered and understand the

In their first month, Affiliates should concentrate on learning the SFI system, and NOT obsess about accumulating VersaPoints. In fact, it is beneficial to new Affiliates to stop taking VP once they reach 1500, while continuing to read and learn the.material on their To-do list, and then go back in their second month and review, taking the remaining points at that time. This will not only help them to make EA2, it will strengthen their basic knowledge of our program.

The goal of the first

New affiliates should not steam ahead into their To Do List with having read their sponsor's welcome letter and the SFI BASICS and START boxes.

New affiliates open their To Do List and are overcome by all the work. They should not put off beginning to tackle that work. They should not do a couple of actions and then pause or give up. Momentum is great.

They should not let discouragement overcome them. Nor consider quitting without having conversed with their sponsor, upline,

Do NOT rush things. You are building a business. These things take time to do correctly.
Do NOT fail to LEARN the basics. If you don't know your business how can you manage it?
Do NOT give up. The first month will be exciting at first and then it may become WORK. That's what successful people do... they work.
Do NOT avoid your upline. They are there to help so tap in to their expertise.

The single most important thing a new affiliate should not do in their first month is to skip through all the free lessons that ate available to them. These internet income lessons will help you learn what to do to build you a successful business, but you must read everything and not just read but understand it! Also if they don't understand, get in touch with your sponsor and/or co-sponsor to help you. Don't be afraid to ask your upline for help (that's what I love when someone asks me for help

I think the first and most important thing that they should not do is give up. Many do as they realize that SFI is not a get rich scheme but a more long term business.
Secondly they should not race a head in the launchpad to get points, with out reading it and taking n all the info that is included.
SFI is an amazing company with so much info on the inside that if we try to take it all in at once we will short circuit and not benefit from it at all. SFI provides the tools and guidelines
