If I start today SFI with my primary knowledge what I know now, at first I will keep my sharp look to the instructions, notifications, if any, from the end of SFI as I don’t know what is sponsor, co-sponsor etc. I am just a starter and starting with SFI today

If I get any instruction or notification I will start to follow it to proceed. If I don’t get I will straight go to Log into my SFI home page with my user name and password. In home page I will click all the tabs serially and

Hm! :) Hmmm..I would start it with my "gas-pedal" pushed down all the way to the floor. :)) Meaning, I would work from the start minimum of 8 hours a day, advertising. And go for a Standing Order, S-Builder Co-op, to become a Team Leader in my second month.

It means to put in some money, but it is not a lot of money, it would be come back to me in maybe a month time. In every work one has invest a little bit to have success. In SFI You can have success anyway, but with a 50-60$

Great question.

I would have done everything on my To Do list during the first month. I would have gotten my standing order in place the first day too. I did not do this until month 3. But I was Executive Affiliate the first two months anyway. I would not have gotten a lot of versa points till second half of year. This I did and points were being deducted left and right, where I came in second in E 365.

Starting over I do not think I would do because I have learned a

If I should be given the opportunity I shall do the following:
1. Read and learn constantly before accumulating VPs
2. Concentrate on building an active team.
3. Participate actively in the ECA program
4. Become a W3 member as early as possible to be part of the unlimited opportunities it presents to win weekly.

Hello Manuella,

If I could do something differently I would have gone a little slower at getting sign-ups and worked harder to learn about the ECA program.

After over 10 months I am just now starting to work on opening my own store. I wish I would have started this 6 or 8 months ago, but at least I am finally getting somewhere with it now.

I didn’t really have enough confidence in my marketing ability and just kept putting it off. After reading and re-reading the

If I could start SFI all over, I would do the following:

Try my best to stay in contention in the E365 Challenge.

Would place a Standing Order right from the beginning.

Participate in auction.

Log in to SFI everyday and do my daily tasks.

Would not have lost my CSAs due to my inability to become an EA for several months.

I would also ask questions every time.

"If you could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?"
The first thing that I would do is NOT rush through my launchpad lessons. When I first started, I didn't realize how important it was to really read to understand these lessons, rather than just reading them to earn to vp points. I would save some of these lessons to be completed during the second and third months so that it would be a struggle to make EA in those months.

Hello, Manuella Essaka!

You just gave a voice to all those
(i) who had missed their fast tract, or
(ii) were eliminated from the E365 Championship, or even
(iii) those who did not see the value of a standing order (SO) right away.

I am neither of those.

But, I would still have made some significant improvement in my first month with SFI.

(a). I could have made it to Gold Team Leader and possibly be motivated to maintain it, if not make

If I can start SFI today,
I will not jump into Bronze Team Leader without Team.
I will take time to read more and learn more.
I will take time to advertise seriously, both Gateway and TripleClicks.
When I started, Internet Marketing was totally new for me
Now, after few months... I learned a lot and I'm proud.
And I'm grateful to my Sponsor for support and patience.

When I started I totally blew it. I didn't realize just what I had stumbled onto. I did read some but obviously not enough. I missed the Fast Start badge by not doing enough at first. I would continue with checking in each day to to the "to-do" list which is what got me motivated originally. Then the learning kicked in. I started recruiting right away so I would duplicate this as it has been successful so far. Setting the goals initially was one of the hardest things so I might pay more
