I can not think what I would do differently. If anything maybe learn and produce more advertising.

I was not sure what I was getting into. I took my time going through the basics, studying the launchpad lesson and trying to learn as much as I could about this opportunity. I kept notes and continue to keep notes every day. I started writing my own ad copy.

If I were a beginner I would suggest this.

1. Dont go to fast, take your time and absorb all the training that

Well…yes, wish I could restart with my SFI Business. If only I’ve already known what I knew now about SFI? I would definitely do the following:

1. Have my Fast Track Badge by doing 500 VP during my first 24 hours
2. Never give up on my E365 contest and do everything to get that E365 Champion Badge
3. Should have reserved the LAUNCHPAD LESSONS’ VPs for the succeeding months wherein gathering enough AVP (Action VP) is more difficult
4. Do everything to support and retain

Well Manuella

Usually I love to explain my opinion in detail and give long answer and this
One question also one of it, not only you ask this question but also so
Many people during their life span including me ask myself in the past over and over
Again in different kind of situation.

Today I will make my answer very short.
Since your question is directed to the person who answer this question directly I will
Give you my own life answer for your question.

Manuella,

If I could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what I know now, I would take time to read and understand the program better without pushing to earn VPs. I would involve my team of upline affiliates in most of my decisions by asking more questions, and getting their advice. I believe I would have been further along in my SFI business, if I put first things first, making my SFI business foundation strong.
I feel silly asking my upline for help with advertising, building

There are a few things I would do differently now with the information I have at hand.

1..I would be more aggressive in my drive to recruit new Affiliates from Day 1 of my enrollment. I understand better how commissions and points are awarded when your down lines are active and I would therefore try and recruit as many active affiliates in the 1st two months of the business as possible.

2..I would set aside a higher value of investment as a cumulative amount in my business

Hi Manuella!!!


Such a great question!
Like in our lives!

When I started I knew nothing about SFI!
I was as lost in space!

In the first place I should have read all there are!
The most important thing I did not do at the beginning, I did not read enough!
Should be read from the beginning rather than the middle!!!
Two days later I started to read carefully.
I overlooked the fast track and lost the green line!
Invest a little

Hello there

Here is what I would do first if I knew what I know:

1) Firstly I would invest bleed. (No matter the amount, it is in my budget)

2) Reinvest what I win, so I do not go out of my pocket money!

3) I will continue to invest, but by removing profits!

And now, all this will be in a more or less long, depending on the funds I dispose departure.
But the fact is I could do it on faster.
In my case, I have a small pension, and I

I was quite shy about talking about SFI outside the SFI community. I only send e-cards and emails to my prospects.

If I will start all over again with SFI today, I will be more proactive.

How?

1. Read, Learn, Internalize and PUT INTO ACTION. I wrote the last word in bold letters for I only applied the first three seriously but the ACTION part is not that full blast yet.

2. By setting higher targets each day and making sure that I do and reach them.

3.

Hi Manuella,

Interesting question.
First, I regret not starting SFI when I was initially given the invitation. Many months passed before I started, and I still feel I had wasted time I would have used in building my business.

Second, not being able to be a fast tracker and getting the badge also, is something I would have loved to change if given the opportunity. Before I could know about it, it was already too late.

Third, is similar to the second. Not being

To be honest if I had to restart SFI there will be nothing I would do differently.The only thing I wish most is that I had more funds available to use as capital.This is not a problem for as long as I can maintain my SO I know" where there is a will there is a way"I am the type of person when I want something I go after it no matter how long it takes for me to get it done.
