Hello mrs. Essaka!

That's a very good question. I, and my friends, that have enrolled in SFI the same day that I have, have been asking ourselves that same question for quite some time now.

We were all the ones that got our Fast track badges (within a week - maybe even less).

What we'd do differently, well. . . maybe, we'd slow down a bit.

My friends and myself are all in the E365 finals (that we definitely wouldn't want to change!).

I would

I wouldn't have been blowing my money on TCredits all the time (LOL). But all jokes aside, I would have worked at a slow and steady pace, learning all the ins and outs of SFI before flying out the gate.

Right now, I'm still learning. It's a tough hill to climb (even tougher if one doesn't have the funds to afford a Standing Order), but I'll say this: Always stay the course. Even if you lose your rank, CSAs, etc., still push forward and start from scratch.

I would have worked the business like I am doing now.

I would not have taken the months off searching for another “golden” opportunity
when I had one in front of me all the time.

I would have not stopped working the business because by now
I would have been a PTL.

Knowing what I know now, I realized how easy SFI is.
I would have been a E365 champ also.
So if I could start over, I would have never quit and had to start over from scratch.

Definitely I would have been more honest and openly admitted that with learning and reading about the SFI is a challenge that is called social networks, english and computer literacy. Because even though I got the perfect guidance from my Sponsor and on my SFI site, some actions I could do right away because I had no knowledge of what is a blog, how to add contacts. I fear that admitting my ignorance will lose the chance to SFI I paid a lot with bigger waste of time to search the internet. I learned

This is a great question Manuella.

I would have made sure to get into the Fast Track and E365 Challenge. When I started I signed up and then left. If I had it to do over, I would make sure I was active from the beginning.

I would have been making more commissions by now had I stayed active. I also would have started advertising sooner, instead of waiting. It would have put me quite a bit ahead of where I am now.

Knowing what I know now, I would invest in SBuilder and keep it as a
SO. It would have saved me a lot of time in trying to recruit on my own.
I did invest and then dropped it because I thought it was taking so long
Before I started to receive people. Now I have started again and I won't
Drop it this time. I want my 5 good team members,and now I am prepared to
Wait.

Hello!

Good question!
I must say, I would definitely leave some Versa points for the next month. For the first month I did all the actions...
I would talk to my sponsor much more, cause now when I got my PSA's, I love more when they ask me everything so they don't mess around.
I would read more, bring new affiliates and set up an Standing Order.

1) I will do a massive campaign on recruitment, without new downline, the business won't go far.

2) Learn more about Internet marketing. I don't want to stop learning. As in this line, the day you stop learning, is the day your business start to go downward.

3) As usual, doing the daily, weekly and monthly task. This is the task I like to do it everyday.

4) Connect more with my PSA and CSA. They are the back bone of this business and the valuable asset to me. Only

Good question… let`s see:
I would go to BTL in first month (skip EA and EA2)
Advertise from the day one, on several languages and so many places
Invest in FB and Google advertising to attract more PSAs
Be carefully on auctions and save TC for serious biding
And read, learn, read, learn…

Hello
The very first thing I will do different, is to spend my money on building my downline and help them to build their downline.

That way you will move up in the ranks and make money at the same time. Downline means income to you.

Do NOT pay money to reach a rank and then spend money to keep the rank.

With a sizable "working" downline you will receive enough VersaPoints to go up in the ranks and stay there.
