__________________________________
Starting all over SFI again, whenever I get to the level of becoming a team leader, I will look again upon my second home CSAs as gifts in the rough. Bear in mind they are FREE and all come with
potential. It is a matter of reaching out to them through an email that even though they may have lost
their way or lost heart in SFI it is possible to re-activate those who want to give it another chance.
I send them a simple mailing telling them whatever their experience in the past I am here for them now
and ready to help them now. I have had some surprising results in that CSAs who look as though they are
out of the game, suddenly start earning VP and coming up from nowhere.
In essence if you give people the right signs of hope and care you will get a positive response from some
of them. Many are confused or haven't had the right help and guidance and are waiting for the sponsor
with the care, knowledge or experience to lead them.

I was lucky enough to have signed up with an active and responsive sponsor. My upline is very supportive and helped me to get started. They have really taught me a lot.

The only thing I would have changed was starting earlier. I made fast track the first day but then I did not log-in for about 2 weeks. I was a little overwhelmed at all of the material outlined and thought to myself "I will never get this".

The more I explored the site the more I started to understand little by little how to succeed in this business. It was a snowball effect of knowledge, meaning it was little by little at first until it got big and bigger. By missing those 2 weeks, I missed out on 2 weeks of knowledge that would have helped me learn quicker than I did.

I signed up and then did nothing for about a week and when I did activate the account, I had missed out on the chance of Fast Track, missed E365 and was out of contention.

At the beginning, I was so eager to get on with the business that I rushed through the training. I understood it OK but I did not retain the information as a result I discovered later that I had missed some very vital information and strategies I could have used.

Somehow I became hooked onto the auctions and the games and before I knew it I am a BTL and that got me back onto the E365.

I did not do any promotions at all until about my 3rd month in SFI.
Lucky for me, my sponsor was onto it and steered me in the right direction.

If I start all over again I would:

- activate my account immediately on day 1
- go for the fast track & stay in E365
- learn and retain all the information in Launchpads
- connect immediately with my sponsor and learn from him/her
- start promoting TripleClicks services and products from day 1
- start recruiting PSA possibly towards the end of my 1st month
- work on sponsoring and duplication a lot earlier than I did.

When I started with SFI I was so cautious. I kept telling myself this is too good to be true. What’s the catch?

The doubt went on for a few months even though I had seen commissions in my account.

Every day I would log in, read a lot, learn a bit more, do my To Do List and Play T-Time. Eventually advertising and getting to the Auctions.

The whole time I was being encouraged by my Sponsor, by A2A Friends and the forum.

At last the penny dropped. I could see why SFI worked and how the program worked.

So if I was starting over with SFI, I would trust in the integrity of the company and I would throw myself into it whole heartedly.

I would follow the program step by step, ask for help when I needed it and then pay it forward.

If I had done this straight up I would have been in a better financial position a lot sooner.

This is a question that I have thought about a lot lately.
If I could start all over today and know what I now know I would not delay in getting started. By delaying getting started I lost out on a lot of things assosciated with the E365 program. I would also have studied the training sections better, especially the ones concerning recruitment and training (duplication) and leadership, I lost quite a few team members by not being an effictive leader. Also I would have taken advantage of the marketing methods and tools sooner.

There are 10 steps I would follow
1. Go to this page FIRST and watch the video. It will give you an example of what you will be doing on a daily basis to build your business and some tips on navigating the SFI Affiliate Centre

2. SFI Basics - Important! Read the information on the SFI Basics page but DON'T GO ANY FURTHER into the links on that page just yet. You will come back to that page later. Move on to the Launchpad (see below) and read the 'whys' and 'hows' of SFI and you will be building your business while you are learning.

The SFI Basics Page is the basics of SFI and how you can earn an online income from the comfort of your own home. You may feel a little 'overloaded' with information but don't worry, it is a simple system which will become clearer with the Launchpad.

English not your main language? Go to the bottom of the SFI Basics page and select your language.

3. Launchpad
The 'Launchpad' is where you will learn about SFI in more depth and earn Versapoints (VP) as you go along. Read the information in each lesson but don't worry if you don't remember alll of it. You can go back to the Launchpad at any time in the future.

You will be earning Versapoints by answering the quiz at the end of each Launchpad section. If you complete the Launchpad within the first 24 hours of joining you will be awarded a Fast-Track bonus of 200 Versapoints. Earning the bonus is a good start but it is more important that you understand as much as you can from the lessons. You can come back and read again later if necessary.

4. Your Profile - You may have already completed your profile during the Launchpad but please read why it is important.

Your profile is important for your sponsor to be able to help you build your SFI business. You can choose who sees the information in your profile. Be sure to allow your sponsor access.

You should provide as much information as you are able. Include a photograph of yourself. It is always good to see who you are working with and when you have your own team you will appreciate it.

When you are completing your profile be honest with yourself and your sponsor. Honesty will always be more helpful when it comes to having your sponsor help you with your business.

5. Check your VP Ledger - Your VP Ledger is where you see what actions earn you Versapoints and where you can earn more. If you have completed the steps above check your VP Ledger for anything you may have overlooked.

6. Standing Order - Note that it is never a requirement for standing order(SO) but it is recommended if you want to generate an income in your SFI business. A SO with minimum 1500 VP or above each month will ensure that you are always EA2 (Executive Affiliate for 2 or more months) rank each and every month. You will also be recommending your Team members to do the same and so it is important that you are not asking them to do something that you are not doing yourself.

7. Join Wave 3 - As Wave3 member you will get 5 TCredit and 50 MRP each month. You will also have a chance to win $250 in the W3 weekly drawings when your PSAs become Wave3 members too.

8. Advertising - THE REAL KEY TO PROGRESS IN SFI - REGULAR AND CONSISTENT ADVERTISING
For all marketing aids and marketing methods go to Marketing Center.

You need to do regular advertising to sponsor new affiliates each month. You can advertise Free or Paid or both depending on your budget.

9. Duplicate - When you sponsor PSAs, make sure to teach your PSAs to duplicate the exact above steps. With duplication you can earn long-term residual income. Make sure to contact and communicate with your PSAs.

10. Don't Quit - The only way to fail in SFI is if you give up

SO many people quit just as they're ready to break through. Imagine mining deep into a mountainside, then walking away mere inches away from striking gold. Don't be that person.

Worse is the person who does this over and over again. If they had just kept digging instead of moving on to the "next great thing" every few months, they'd already have their gold–and they would have reached it so much sooner!

And, yes, sometimes it will seem that your efforts are not accomplishing anything, but always remember that even the mightiest oak tree will eventually be felled by the steady chops of even the smallest axe. Persistence always pays off.

I would not do very much differently.

I advertised 30 ads a day for one year, but I would have started product sales sooner and pushed the ads a bit more than attracting as many affiliates.

Now we have so many incredible products, which was not as established when I began, and my enthusiasm for sales only started in my second year.

Also I believe the best opportunities would be gained by doing more presentations locally, which I did in school gyms for a few months and when they became too expensive I abandoned the idea, where I should have continued in a smaller venue giving group presentations, even while waiting for children practice for sports, where parents all just sit around.

I'm not sure if I would do anything differently. When I started in SFI, there were no games, few products, no ECAs, no auctions, and many other things. The only thing I probably would do differently is log in every day and give my full attention to this business. I was attracted to other ventures at times and did not give my full attention to SFI. I remember one month when I didn't get my commission because I did not log in that month. There are really so many incentives here that I really don't want to miss out on any day, because it is my business, but also it is like a game I play, to see how far I can go each day and each month and to watch the numbers on my goals move up or down, depending on the type of goal. It's really a lot of fun to run this business, and it really helps people as well.

If I could start over with SFI today I think that I would do absolutely nothing different. This is not to say that I was an instant success, (far from it). I don't even have a fast track badge. When I signed up, it was the next day that I figured out how to log in.

I feel that I have made a lot of mistakes along the way and will probably make a lot more, but with each mistake I feel there is a lesson to be learned.

My advice would be not to think of what might have been. The past has long gone. Instead, think about what you can learn from what you can learn from what you have done.

I think I'd take more time to read and go through the training. I think a lot of us get so excited when first starting out and it's easy to overlook things. I would try to slow down and not do everything as fast as I could.
I wouldn't be so eager to start prospecting as I really did not know enough about SFI to become a sponsor. It's important to have a good understanding of each component of SFI in order to provide the best support for a team. It leaves a negative impression on new folks if their sponsor does not know what they're doing. ;)
So, if I could start over again, I would take my time reading and taking the LaunchPad lessons and remember this is a marathon, not a sprint.
