I would make sure that I am a Fast Starter. (I missed that badge purely by ignorance - that space will always be empty!)

I would be more diligent in studying the training in stead of just jumping in and doing what I think I have to.

I would try and maintain a standing order to achieve more VP and not wonder what the value of it is.

I would participate more frequently on the Forum.

I would make sure I read the complete instructions.. I was so excited I never saw the "FAST TRACK" I Would definitely go over all the Videos and familiarize myself with the Internet Courses way more thoroughly than I did. In spite of not paying attention to all instructions I am am doing pretty well!! Please, Please go slow in the first month and familiarize yourself with everything!!

If I could start over with SFI, I would look at it more seriously than before.
I wasn't to sure at first due to the fact that I had been had by so many other sites promising me to make lots of money if I joined and paid. Stupidly, I did just that! I learned the hard way.
I would of been able to earned my "Fast Track" Badge, could of worked harder on my E365 from the beginning without being hesitant, and would have given SFI my all.
That was then and now is now!

What I would do differently knowing what I know now is I would have started on day one with reading the internet income lessons. Since there are 90 lessons, I would have read at least one a day and taken notes to better prepare myself. There is a lot of valuable information in those lessons. Had I started reading them when i first started I would of had an easier time setting things up such as my blog, website, RSS feeds and so forth. I have only been with SFI for a few months but I feel like

An excellent question...

If I had the opportunity to start again, I would have started my s-Builder Co-op Unit purchases sooner. Once I had started these, I was then able to assist down-line members with creating my own co-op to share recruits.

Even though I wish I had started my unit purchase sooner, I am grateful I have the units now as part of my Standing Order. This item has been an excellent resource for my own business and encourage everyone to include this SFI product

If i could start over with SFI again with this knowledge that i have gained so far i would love to be in the E365 competition. Because with E365 each participating affiliate has the opportunity to win a share of over $100,000 in cash and prizes..... And other goodies are attached to it also. Secondly if i have to start over again i won't miss a single month without upgrading, because those that were given to me my first that i became an EA were working but due to my failure to upgrade they took

1.During my first week I did all the tasks and was so excited about accumulating the points and attained EA status but qualifying for the 365 finals was difficult because I had to get the points and I did not know yet how to purchase products at tripleclicks.So if I was to start again I would take time before accumulating so many points and understand how SFI works.

2.I would learn all about it before starting.I learnt everything about it after I had started and I totally had no idea if

Me personally.I would take it slower because i just jumped in and became team leader in five days,and had a lot of team members downline and no one activ ,and had no idea what to do.It is hard to maintain team leader status when you have no team support.So i think that it's better to just aim for 1500 vp for the first few months and get the hang of things.Thank you for your question Manuella

Personally I would say I started very well, no regrets at this stage. The only thing I would say is to advice new affiliates to read about SFI and understand how the business work and follow the guidelines, utilise the training and the launchpad topics. Use all the available opportunities to earn VPs, advance to higher ranks and acknowledge their duties and take responsibility. Also not to be quick to sponsor affiliates before you understand the business model.

Thanks for the questions

Good Day Manuella!

You've brought up a question I'm sure many of us have asked ourselves at some time. For me, it comes down to passing up this opportunity in 2000. So, to begin with, the first thing I would do differently is not pass up on SFI.

2. Log on everyday (which I do now) to earn as many VP as possible, while learning as much as I can at the same time.

3. Be more dedicated to the business right from the start. Advertise and promote SFI more productively,
