Hi Ritu...

1...First I will not trust my sponsor blindly and would check everything on my own. (No

complaints although for my sponsor).

2...I will clarify and understand everything before registering.

3...Because once you register, your race against time starts and you miss out on many much

important rules and provisions. I missed my fast track just because of ignorance and now I

realise how important it is in the long run at every

Interesting question!

I would have just worked enough to make my first 1500 VP's and use the other remaining task and VP's to help in accumulating points on the next month. But all the excitement of SFI just did not allow me to. That's the best part of SFI excitement and awesome discoveries as we learn.
Even that excitement needs to be controlled and if only I had controlled my excitement and kept my focus.

And now when I think back and consider than today I would remain

I would far more thoroughly examine the tabs in the black bar across home page!! There is so much information contained therein that will literally walk you through everything you need to know to succeed in an online business!

The Internet Income Course is one of the first places I would start. Genealogy is another (I still do not function well within that site!!) good place to understand.

I would learn about the recommended initial contact methods with new PSAs, do follow-ups

Thanks for this question.

We are all aware, SFI was formed 17 years ago with a clear vision, business module, sufficient systems and procedures, policy frame works, etc.

Over the years, with the advent of efficient software technology, SFI systems also went through various changes and improvisation is still taking place, taking current business requirements in to consideration. These are all being carried out only to ensure member's interest is protected and best business environment

What would I do differently if I started over?
I would have read the lessons over and over.

I would have purchased PSA"s to Go and a unit of S-Builder
every two weeks.S-Builder gives you Tripleclicks and SFI referrals.

I would not have asked everybody I could to join my A2A.
Most just advertise to you and/or what to know where you
advertise.Leaders with knowledge is what I needed.

I should have put up a SO-standing order as soon as

There are a few things that I would have done.
1. Become a GOLD FAST TRACK member
2. Start right away building a downline that will grow with me and we can help each other
3. Not miss a single day collecting my VP
4. Put much more effort in finding ECAs and TC members

This way I would have started creating a good RESIDUAL INCOME and also my LEVERAGE INCOME.

What would I do differently now, if I were to start over with SFI, knowing what I do now about SFI? This question reminds me of a popular song which deals with regrets in life.
Regrets in SFI, I have not a few.

My first regret is the six months lost in wilderness after I joined because I had no clue what SFI was all about and I had to go overseas that time for family emergency.

If I were to start all over again I will start from the beginning, really read and understand

If I were to start over with SFI, I would do several things differently.

Key among these things, I would model excellence from day one.

Some of the activities that I would do include:
1. I would completely buy-into the business and work with more conviction
2. I would purchase the NMP
3. I would place an SO of 125 T Credits to go Gold Fast Track
4. I would sponsor more affiliates and coach them to become EA Fast track
5. I would coach the PSAs to duplicate

Hi Ritu,
I would have gotten a gmail address right away as my Hotmail would not accept SFI mail right away, so I lost my streak because of this.
I would have started my ECA store right away instead of waiting for months later.
I would have became fast track right away, but wasn't able to due to not receiving my links in the Hotmail....that has changed though, due to the revisions they made recently to being able to become a fast track member even if you were already an existing affiliate.

Personally, if I was starting again, I would not be in such a hurry to get to a Team Leader leavel

I hit BTL quite soon in my SFI career, with three excellent PSAs and two good CSAs. After a good few months where hitting BTL was easy and I was aiming towards STL, suddenly one of my PSAs decided to give up and nothing was going to persuade her to stay, then a second slowed up dramatically. This made the easy achievement of BTL much more difficult and really hit my confidence.
