Perhaps it is your own desire to succeed is showing through and your need is putting some off.

They have to be made absolutely sure that this is not a get rich scheme. If they are looking to make money now, SFI is not the way. Tell them that if they were making even $200 a month after 12 months they would be doing better than most. Tell them that even the best SFI Affiliates take 3 years to get to a stage where they can live off it. Tell them that it is a wonderful way to build a comfortable

As I like to say always, to get any new affiliates to do what you want them to do, just tell them your own story. That usually adds the human touch to persuasion. Just make sure they know the potentials of SFI business and that to get there they need patience, diligence, perseverance, consistence, enthusiasm and hope.

Nothing good ever comes easy. So it is in SFI. If your new affiliates have not studied the lessons at the LauchPad very well, get them to do so. Get them to take the personal

First look at what they have done on their V.P.Ledger.

Did they place their SO-standing order?

Did they send for the $2 Wave3 kit?

Did they join our friends group A2A?
Invite leaders that speak their language.

See if they have the funds to purchase some referrals from SFI.
Ask about their past experience in a similar business?

Explain how to cloak their links for advertising.Ask what kind of advertising they plan to

Hi Lofty Abdalrahim,

Anxious to earn NOW affiliates are probably carrying impression that online income opportunities provide Instant Income. This is due to constant advertising of other online businesses that promise payments instantly after joining.

One should note that instant profits/or instant losses are possible in ONLINE CURRENCY TRADING and Online COMMODITY TRADING or STOCK trading. So there are many risks attached to it. And such schemes require huge investment. They

This is a common challenge for Team Leaders making new, anxious-to-earn affiliates to understand that time is an important factor to establish successful business.

Here’s what you can do:

- As soon as you receive your new affiliates, send them your welcome greeting. Your message should include focussing on SFI BASICS and Launchpad. This helps them understand the concept of SFI and clear up the misconception of getting rich quick scheme.

- Send them your weekly

I would start by telling them that SFI is not a quick fix, it is a proven method of earning long-term income to prevent the kind of "emergencies" that they find themselves in now!
If they need a quick fix then they should look for it as well! if they are merely impatient then they will have to learn, usually fro painful personal experience, that all good things take time to develop. Starting any business takes time, effort and a willingness to learn in the real world, and we are in

This can be a real problem. But it is true that what motivates so many people at first is a quick Dollar.

What I have done is explain that in SFI there are 2 primary ways to earn.

Slow, but big money.
Fast but small money.

Slow but big we hear about all the time. It is he way of duplication. But so many people loose the vision and quit before they reach their financial goals. The Dream gets them started, and it may keep them going for a while but without steps

These are the people that are going to be more keen to instruction on how to build a business the right way. These are the affiliates who are going to be the ones you want within your organization. These anxious to earn now affiliates might not have to be told that it takes time to develop a successful business.

The timeframe doesn't matter unless they brought it up themselves. There will be no reason for me to let them know that it takes time to develop a business. It should be our job

Dear SFI college,
it is never easy to tell people that they have to wait some time till serious income. Almost all of those who seek a job on Internet expect fast money (and a lot of it) immediately, end dream about clicking on banners and ads. So, what we should tell them to convince them to work for at least several hours a day?
For start, give them our own example!
Say ,,look, I am here for ..... months and I`m earning money.
Nothing is easy in this life, especially working,

JOB is you give your time and I pay you on your time spent.
