I would be interested in understanding more from the affiliate's perspective the reason for his or her thinking that following the To-Do List tasks (each equal value of 1 AVP) is a time waster.

It is important to acknowledge their point of view about tasks possibly feeling like a time waster then from there continue to discuss what he or she is hoping for. Was there a perception that a task would earn more than it does? Was their point of view of joining SFI as a quick turn around to earn

It will sound very rude, but reading your question the first answer for your affiliate that has come to my mind has been:

- Never try to build a house, then! You will not have the patience to lay bricks!

Of course, none of us should ever give such an answer to our affiliates, since it completely lacks empathy, kindness, understanding and positive attitude.

But, aside the inappropriate way with which the idea has come to my mind, that would come to be the "core"

This is an excellent question that one gets to answer very often:
You answer them twofold:

1. Once your training points are all used up, how will you get at least 10 VP together to qualify you to enter the Daily Grand for the following day, if you do not have a standing order of at least 1500VP per month? Daily actions can earn you 12 VP a Day!

2. 12 VP per day is not much, but over one year it would give you 4380 VP in total. Can one really afford to lose this? (Especially

It is a pity actually, if our affiliates thinks this way..

As far as we know, this affiliate doesn't understand well of how SFI works..

By monitoring their daily actions, and if they still stay on our movers page, probably we still have the chance to share every achievements that we get from our vp topics.

Examples:
Share to all team members on how to earn additional vps, how to balance sales vp and action vps, what to do when we are short of avp before month

The affiliate needs to view this as a personal business, and in order to have success they have to put in effort. And while it may seem trivial receiving just 1 VP, it is not, because it is a building block to their own personal success. In order to be successful at anything one must cultivate good habits. Those Habits are a process, not an event. You have to embrace the process, commit to the system. After a while it will become second nature, and you will inevitably see your success.

I would let the Affiliate know that the loss of the Daily 1 VP actions could mean the difference between not re-qualifying or qualifying. The difference between reaping the rewards of their teams actions and not.

Every business has tasks that need to be completed however mundane, they are a necessity to reach your goals.

A team member completing all of the daily tasks to gain VP also gain knowledge.

In the end, the 1 VP daily actions are not a waste of time. They

Doing the daily 1VP actions is the building of a strong foundation in SFI. As this action is very crucial, SFI has provided all the incentives; to make one progress to the next ladder, quite easily. This enables the fresh starter to appreciate and learn more to develop on the foundation, so provided.
Second, the fulfilment of this daily chores, entices a new affiliate to learn and put into action whatever learned, so as to enhance a faster growth and easy articulation of the SFI's ladder of

Hi, this is a great question!

Each action separately is only 1VP, but together each day they add up to 14VP, potentially.
You add that up over a month and you earn 420-434 VP depending on the days of the month.

Now for a serious affiliate, I cannot imagine that they would say this is a waste of time, especially if they have read and studied all of our launch pad lessons. Affiliates need to realize that this is a business, which we each need to work at every day. The amount

HI DEAR,

If your PSAs or Affiliate say so then he/she was just considering VP as to create commission only but not for the purpose behind it. I am going to tell you something important. There is some guide and suggestion here.

1. we need to get 1500 VP to maintain EA status. Some affiliate does not want to invest money so that they work hard to achieve 1500 VP by doing daily , weekly and monthly actions and advertising.

2.If they dont want to invest time than they

When building your business or when doing something you like, nothing is ever a waste of time. Small things accumulate and grow to be big things. You have to start small and gradually climb the ladder.

Don’t underestimate turning the red tabs to green. It is a learning experience. Each tab has something which can provide you with information. It is designed to get you to read each page. Do it often and the learning will stay with you. When one of your team
