There are numerous forms of both mental and physical disabilities. There are also various degrees of disabilities as to how serious they are. It is neither important nor necessary to discuss them here, in details. What is more relevant is whether the disability is of such extent that it debilitates the person to the level that he/she will not be able to perform the tasks required to run an online business such as SFI. If the disability is not of that nature, then it is not a hindrance.
There are many SFI affiliates who are disabled and they have been forthcoming about their disabilities here, in both the Forum and in the answers to your question. For instance, some have bipolar disorders. Some are deaf. Other are wheelchair bound, etc. But they are successful SFI business owners. Hence, it clear that this is not an obstacle to running an online business.
As for lack of marketing skills, nobody is born with them. Yes, SFI does require knowledge, skills, leadership and determination, all of which can be acquired.
The Knowledge base SFI has freely made available is comprehensive and extensive to cover all what is needed to execute that tasks that will help an affiliate achieve their goals. It is up to the affiliate to draw from it.
The marketing skills, methods and tools are part of that SFI knowledge base. Some of the most important training modules focus on giving us the opportunity to acquire what we need for advertising, marketing, sales and sponsoring.
Our sponsors, co-sponsors, and other members of our upline are here to help us develop our leadership skills and guide us to focus on the tasks we need to carry out to be successful.
In other words, whether we are disabled or not, when we start, we are all at the same level. All of us, when we join SFI, are lacking some knowledge and some skills to various degrees. This is the reason we have a full month to go through the training and for knowledge, leadership and skills development while being rewarded for it with easy acquisition of the points we need to start on success ladder.
In addition, SFI offers a vast array of support (the Forum, Ask SC, a2a, and technical support) that is akin to helping somebody overcome their lack of marketing skills in a relatively short time.
In summary, a disabled person with lack of marketing skills is not that much different from any other opportunity seeker that joins SFI. As long as they are willing to learn, take time to know how SFI works, seek coaching from their sponsor and co-sponsor, as well as other members of their upline, they have equal opportunities to be successful with SFI.
Like everybody else, the disabled person has to devote both time of resources to their business. If they do so diligently, they will be successful.
