If I could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what I know now, I would do some things differently, like not waste 6 months to get really started.

Or, I would just spend 3 of the 6 lost months to read, learn, and get familiar with working an internet business.

I would use the first 3 months to learn the SFI-speak, learn the meaning of lots of strange SFI terminologies, and deal with understanding how virtual currency like the TCredit works. I would concentrate on training myself more to get ready to become Team Leader on my fourth month.

I would also completely focus on sponsoring more and more PSAs to identify 5 workers with which to work with and train and teach duplication until I have reached at least 10 deep, then start another line, repeating the duplication until I have another 10 deep, and so on.

I would not waste time in talking and convincing family and friends to have a look at my new business, but instead look far beyond them and outside the country, thus avoiding the pain of rejection.

I would also start transfer-buying if there are core household products easily accessible outside of US.

I would also change my working habit, organise myself more, and ensure I have a nice balance of work, rest, and play at home.

I would also continue to learn from other successful leaders and read more success stories and motivational books for self-development, instead of fretting over PSAs and CSAs who quit after becoming EAs.

Hi Manuella

Very interesting question, especially as it is theoretically possible.
Many of us fall into the trap of collecting points and skipped useful guidelines without reading them carefully.
SFI does not reward those who are just clicking on the tabs but those who want to learn something new
So I would take the following steps:
1. I would fill the gaps in knowledge that I know that there are still exist,
2. I would carefully selected sponsors
3. Registered would be the first of the month
4. Fast Track is a casual and normal
5. I would have already prepared a blog or a domain with which I would immediately start to advertise the job and sought associate and taught them to duplicate
6. I would not waste my time on friends and acquaintances
7. Normal daily activities are considered as mandatory
8. I would carefully plan points to several months in advance, especially lessons of Launchpad which would re-read but I would not answer the quiz questions
9. Every day I would have the maximum number of entries in Daily Grand and T time
10. Right at the beginning of the second month J would take SO VP Orders 1500 VP and become the BTL. so that I could get Second Home CSAs
11. I would read more carefully the answers on ASK SC and and frequently visited forums.

There is so much that I would do differently with hind sight.

The biggest thing is that I would have taken this so much more seriously and advertised a lot lot more.

I would have spent a lot more time building this business and a lot less time thinking about the money. Money coming in AND going out. I can now see that any money I've spent has been a fantastic investment towards my future.

I would have spent a lot more time getting to know my team better.

This is sooooo much more than just a "business".

A business is where you work, stress over money, stress over customers, stress over competitors, just generally stress.

SFI is a business with a difference. Here you are surrounded by friends and associates whose total aim is to help you become successful. NO STRESS.

If I could go around again, I would like to have realised this a lot sooner.

HI,
Good question.

For me, if I could start over, I would
(1) Take more time to read through and think more on the LAUNCHPAD lessons.
1.1. I completely missed the FAST TRACK opportunity, and the E365 Competition, so each day I am reminded that I am no longer a participant!
(2) Take more heed of Gery Carson's SFI RULES OF SUCCESS. As there in lies the KEY to Successful use of SFI training.
(3) Avoid using up all my TCredits - from my 125 TC Standing Order, on the Auctions... as I persisted for many months without any success whatsoever.
3.1. Instead, I would have started earlier BUYING new PSA's from TripleClicks ECA's as I do now. Realising only after about 7 or more months that DUPLICATION is the KEY, and one of the major 'income streams' that SFI provides.

Now I am investing monthly in my S.O., for 1,500 VP to retain EA2 status, and buying a steady stream of new PSA's in order to promote duplication.

I hope this helps.
Regards

When I started with SFI I didn't know about the fast tracker. I would definitely do that. I would take my time reading the launchpad and then go back and do lessons at a slower pace. I would have made a standing order of S-Builder and 2- 100 T-Credits and asked my sponsor questions on what he did when he first started his business. I would Ask the top 10 Leaders if they would give me pointers to make myself as successful as possible and take everything they tell me and write it down so I would have it at my fingertips when I needed it.

When I was ready I would make EA status and just stay there for a few months till I understood how to be an awesome leader and then I would put it use and keep my affiliates close and reach out to them as a friend and get to know why they joined SFI and what goals do they have and how they plan on reaching them. I would then ask them if they want my input or just be available to them if they had questions. You have to reach out to your affiliates on a personal level before you can get them trust you and then let them know the best way to succeed is to do what you do and then get their own team to duplicate their moves.

SFI has everything we need to get our self started but it's up to us to get motivated, have the faith to move into strange waters, don't be afraid to spend a few dollars to help yourself and don't go over your budget (which I did on several occasions) I would teach myself and my team to set a time everyday to log in to do our work and hold one on one sessions via telephone or skype for those that want it and need it.

I would go back an review the launchpad lessons weekly, the compensation plans and the marketing tips. Of course I would win my class and become Champion (which I did).

This is what I would do if I could start all over in SFI.

SFI is a wonderful family not just a business house where money alone matters. Everyone's progress matters most!

When this is kept in mind naturally at some point of time money will accrue automatically!!

Strong Foundation is the key. Patience, Perseverance and Duplication are key factors to grow and win together. When this spirit is imbibed in everyone's heart then things will certainly move in the direction of victory and joy to all.

These are all the things I have learned after joining SFI!

When I start all over again, I will

* Not be in a hurry to introduce people just like that & try to see results quickly;
* Will be more patient, duly realizing that slow and steady wins the race;
* Not repeat certain acts so that I will not lose my PSAs quickly;

In short, will try and avoid all mistakes of past so that I can grow step by step with my Team and achieve long term goals so that every one in my team will be happy that indeed I am a true leader leading by example!!!

If I had to start over with the knowledge I learned at SFI, maybe I would've started placing adds earlier, maybe get an extra badge or two ect ect...

But what I learned at SFI I don't think I could've learned anywhere else, so how I started out was good and comfortable for me.
I took my time at reading and learning about the business, taking it in day by day and not overwhelming myself with to much information. Letting it all settle itself in and understanding it. Taking it step by step. Gradually moving forward to where i am today.


I'm happy with where I am and don't think I would change the way I started out. After all, what's the rush, this is a long term business.

To be successful takes time, determination and patience

All the best of success to everyone

Let me think differently, my friend !!

This would be the most fun and interesting question ever asked, since, me too thought the same thing in my mind, last month.

If I were given another opportunity to start again in SFI (Second time), I would differently do the following :

1. As soon as I sign up, I will contact my sponsor before he contact me and will surely send him message like this "Hi, I'm your Sponsored Affiliate. Thanks for accepting me as your team member. I assure that I will corporate with you and team to build a strong foundation. Expecting your support when I need them and I'm glad to work with you. Thanks" etc….

2. Directly, I will go to To-do-list and do the getting started action and intermediate actions and will finish as fast as I can, and will get "Fast Track badge within half-an-hour.

3. I will surely, read the launch pad lessons for my review, but will keep them for next month vp earning (first time I suffered a lot for earning vps in second month).

4. Last time, I were not sure of the lessons and references in all tags, so I would have left many. This time I will never leave even a single and will daily learn some of them.

5. I won't waste my time wandering hear and there, I will surely get 1500vp within first 10 days and will start sponsoring PSAs in the rest of days.

6. As I know the procedure now, after attaining EA status, I will immediately contact my CSAs by sending them welcome letter, encouraging tips etc. so that they may not be left alone for "Second Home CSA". Surely I won't let any of my CSA to go away.

7. Now, I know what is more important than my first time, so I will pay clean attention to "Duplication" and "Awesome Sponsor ; Do's and Don't" and follow as per.

8. Because of my good and bad experience in first time, this time my mails will be "Crystal Clear Picture" and very prompt. No more confusion for my PSAs and CSAs regarding their doubts.

9. Within short period, I may become Team Leader and may get all the benefits and commission regarding ranks.

10. I will make more contacts with higher level Team Leaders and A2A friends and will learn a lot from their experiences.

11. This time, I won't even leave a single day of doing my daily actions and will never let E365 contest and Championship go off my hands.

There are lot more to write, but in short, I will rectify all my mistakes that I've made in my first time and will proceed with guts and confidences in this second time and will surely wins the cup of Success as early as possible.

Above all, I will teach my experiences to all my PSAs/CSAs/A2A friends/my family friends etc., and will make them also succeed in the same way as I did.

Hope, this answer is useful, informative and prompt to the question.

Thanks for the opportunity.

If I could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what I know now, what would I do differently? well...

First of all, I will not try to learn everything that is to know about SFI in the first few days or even weeks! I will stick with the BASICS and refer back to them often.

SFI actually offers many different ways to earn an income as I login to my account and go through to its Launch Pad training. So, the first thing I would do is to fully qualify my account so that I have at least 1,500 VP every month which qualifies me as an "Executive Affiliate" rather than just a basic affiliate. This will significantly increases the commissions and bonuses that I'll earn each month from my SFI affiliate account.

In fact, there are many different actions that I can take inside my SFI account that will help me earn the 1,500 VP needed to be an "Executive Affiliate" or the 3,000 VP needed to be a "Team Leader”. And of course, by going through the training provided, I can find many ways to earn the necessary points each month and I will also know that each rank of advancement also includes more bonuses and higher earnings potential too.

For example, this page inside my SFI account shows me lots of different ways to earn VP :( https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=to-do_list)

The easiest way to get the required 1,500 VP (and what I currently doing now to maintain my point requirements each month) is to have a 1500 VP Standing Order. A 1500 VP Standing Order will help ensure that I will never lose my EA status, so I recommend my downlines to do the same as well. With the training, I will also find details about creating a Standing Order on this page of my account: (https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/StandingOrders)

Moreover, I will always keep in mind that SFI is not a "get rich quick scheme" and overnight success is not to be expected. And I know that I need to be Focus, Consistent and Persistent. These are the principles that I will need to succeed!
