After being in SFI for more than eight months, I know that there are several things I should have done differently:

1. I shouldn't have rushed after VersaPoints during the first month; I should have stopped after reaching 1,500 points. It is much more difficult to become EA2 after doing more actions than necessary in the very beginning.

2. I should have asked my upline more often for everything that I didn't know in the beginning. Since my sponsor left SFI shortly after I joined

What I will do at first is to make sure I maintain my affiliate E365. When I started the importance of affiliate E365 was not obvious to me the way it was now.

I will make sure I strive more harder to recruits more affiliates and hopefully train some few active affiliates among them to build my down line earlier. My first 8month was wasted due to lack of knowledge.

I will invest more on accumulating more PSAs and CSAs to build my down line because the major way of making it

If I had a chance to start over, I would do more or less the same.

Also, more or less, all new members are doing the same, as the following initial guidance for achieving those first 500VP and 200VP bonus for the first 24 hours. When you reach the first 1500VP, which is , you must admit, really not difficult, and achieve the status of EA, then the fun really begins.

1. First, I would take much more effort and investing (time and some money) in the recruitment for the first month,

Well, I have been in SFI for over a year now and the last time I did a thorough evaluation of my business vis-à-vis the time I have spent on it, I discovered many things I would have done differently given what I now know. Foremost among these things are:

1. I would earn enough VPs in the first 24 hours to give me a Fast Track badge.
2. I would study my LaunchPad with greater care.
3. I would give the best attention to duplication/building my downline.
4. I would take pains

I made a few mistakes.

1. I rushed through the Launchpad lessons and therefore I did not learn what I was
suppose to. I would definitely take it one day at a time and learn the lessons.
2. Because I did not understand everything I did not earn all the VP that I could.
3. I did not log in every day - I quickly learned that it is important to log in every
day and work towards your goals every day.
4. I am very competitive - so I set unrealistic goals

I would now know about the Fast Tracker badge, would make sure I qualified for it!!

I would calculate how many daily task VPs I would get for completing entry month, then do startup tasks that would bring me up to 1500 to 1550VPs for EA. I would join a2a and Wave3.

Second month, I would do balance of start up activities, gain daily activity VPs, bid auctions, any other activities to reach EA2.

During this time, I would study LaunchPad lessons, and all the information/training

Interesting Question, Manuella.

If I was to start over , I would be a fast tracker, where by gaining the additional 200 Action VP. Also I would have learnt more before joining my first days I lost so many VP because I didn’t have a clue what I was doing.

Anyway that’s all history, you have to learn by your mistakes and not dwell on the past. The future is what is important we can’t change the past, so we need to make the best of what we have today.

If we keep

When I started I didn't receive a welcome message from my sponsor, It was time consuming and sometimes frustrating trying to navigate around the SFI website and do what is best.

I could have easily been a FAST TRACKER. That would not have been a problem, because I signed in several times in the first 24 hours. I chose to navigate around the site instead. I spent hours navigating.

I kept watching the green line, but didn't understand how to remain above it to the end. I

There are four things I would do differently:

One - I would attain BTL as soon as possible and never drop below that rank.

Two - I would start sponsoring through S-Builder Co-op because creating a down line who will DUPLICATE what I do is the major factor in achieving success in SFIMG.

Three - I would re-invest my earnings in more shares of S-Builder Co-op.

Four - I would purchase something every month from TripleClicks which I can use for myself and my
