A good sponsor's worth is invaluable however it is a bonus and not a given. When building a business you have to rely on yourself. It is your sponsor's job to guide you, teach you whatever they can but it is not their job to build your business for you.

I am very fortunate that I have an awesome sponsor and co-sponsor. Their support means the world to me but if I fail it will not be their fault - it will be my own fault.

Build a good relationship with your sponsor and learn

Good Sponsor is a Great Gift but, To build a successful SFI business, there is no need to rely on a sponsor. In general, most of the successful leaders in SFI do not have a Great Sponsor.

Your success clearly depends on your own effort. You sponsor can only guide you the best way to walk but, you are the one who needs to walk through that road. Rely on your sponsor for the doubts you develop while following your path. And if you are lucky to have better up line other than sponsor,then

I would like to say that the success of your business is totally dependant on you. When I joined SFI I learnt practically everything on my own and have had very little contact with my sponsor. I even sent him an email but he never responded. I took the bull by the horns and made platinum team leader in my first month all by myself.

Your dependence should be minimal. Consider yourself an entrepreneur and do all you can to make it work. Besides, you have rich SFI training materials to work

Good day to you,

The answer to this question is not as simple as you may think. Some people find it easy to just go off on their own and make a success of themselves, yet others need some support from those above them, others need to be physically dragged along and at some point they find their feet and move on.
My personal preference is that your sponsor is their to guide you, they cannot run your business for you.
You have to do the daily tasks, monthly and weekly tasks. You

I really don't believe any one should "rely" on their sponsor, So far as we are concerned, a sponsor is no more than the person that introduced us to SFI.

Many "sponsors" have not yet been involved with SFI long enough themselves to be knowledgeable enough to be able to serve as a "MENTOR" so their knowledge about SFI is questionable at best.

Through the years,Gery and his team have put together (and continue to improve) a system unsurpassed

"To build a successful SFI business, how much should I rely on my sponsor?"

Or Should you be asking yourself...

How much should I be doing to help build my PSA's Business.

Do you have a Co-op for them? Does your sponsor have a Co-op? Have you participated?

Do you have a weekly email? Does your sponsor have a weekly email? Do you read it?

Do you have a FREE Co-op? (EA requirement)

Your sponsor can lead by example ~

Hello,

How much should you rely on your Sponsor to be successful?

None whatsoever! Your success or failure is entirely up to you. Your Sponsor is there to answer questions, encourage you when you're faltering. MAYBE reward you for a job well done (and that's only if they can afford to).

Your Sponsor is not there to work your business for you. They shouldn't be your source of financial support. They should be able to give you suggestions on where to advertise, what

To build a successful business, how much should you rely on your sponsor?
First thing to do is work on your lessons and see if they notice.

If after one week, you have no communication, I would conclude you may be
on your own.In that case rely on the forums for answers to your questions.

If you get communication during your first week at SFI, you can keep asking
questions to your up-line. As you read your lessons,write down questions to ask

I think there is nothing to do with the sponsor. If we start a business that is our own effort to success in our own business. All training materials are there on this website. If we do not learn anything we do not know anything about this website. If we ask to sponsor any question I think all answers are already written here . Again we need to read every answers before ask to sponsor.
24/7 support is awesome. I think we can get help from the sponsor how to win in games , the tips , the time
