You shouldn't. They are there as a guide when needed to build your own successful business. For example, become a shameless self-promoter (without becoming obnoxious).
One of the greatest myths about personal or business success is that eventually your business, personal abilities, products or services will get discovered and be embraced by the masses that will beat a path to your door to buy what you are selling. But how can this happen if no one knows who you are, what you sell and why

Hi Sebastian,

Although the SFI forum and other help that we have such as the a2a friendship; I think we need our sponsors, more especially at the beginning of our SFI businesses, and less frequently as we continue in the business.

But just bare this in mind that the sponsor is more like a tutor. You do most of the work. He / she would guide you whenever you need more guidance. The sponsor is also interested to see to it that you succeed. Your success is the sponsor's success

I think you should never be reliant on anyone else for your own success. This is your business and your responsibility. If you are committed and passionate about building a successful business you will be keen to learn. You will be eager to apply what you learn in order to move onwards and upwards. It is nice to have the support of someone more experienced who is willing to share their knowledge but this cannot be taken for granted. At the end of the day you always have to be responsible for yourself

If the sponsor's active and successful follows his steps and tips. But if the sponsor is inactive, then you rely on your desire.
You're the only person who is responsible for the success. There are many ways to succeed without the help of a sponsor.
Sometimes we need a little help of friends for success, the SFI is a big family, if you do not get the help of a sponsor, someone else will certainly help.

Hello,
This is a very interesting question which borders on both the sponsor and the affiliate.
In the first place your sponsor is your leader and as such is expected to know more of the sfi business than you, and this is why he is there to help you understand the system faster than if you had to do everything yourself. On the other hand all that you would want to know from your sponsor is in black and white and you can have it if you take your time studying.
So all in all you don't

Very good question Sebastian, thank you!
Do you need to rely on sponsors to SFI business? From my point of view, I think it should be, because the sponsor is the most important your success! It must rely on sponsors in the beginning he was the only person who's helping you around solving tasks, and introduces the work, he is the only person who follows your work, if something you're wrong, he corrects, and if you do well and skillfully, and he praises! Cheering for you at your every step forward!

How much should you rely on your sponsor/ co-sponsor? Joining SFI, having been invited by someone who immediately is your sponsor means you have to depend on them initially. What is the business about? How do I manage it? How can I be successful? Etc are part of the questions that your sponsor and co-sponsors have to help you with. However, as time goes on, and as you begin to come into your own, you start depending on them less and more on yourself. That is the way it ought to be.
So How much

First a sponsor is a mentor. I should rely on a sponsor to mentor me.This is duplication.As a new affiliate there is a lot to learn from my sponsor.

In SFI business, the Sponsor plays an important role in the success of the Affiliate/s under him/her.

Generally, it is presumed that a Sponsor has already gained sufficient knowledge about the SFI business and is most of the time considered as Senior or has at least an Executive Affiliate (EA).

Furthermore, his/her role is to guide, teach, educate and give support to the Affiliate/s assigned to him/her by SFI.

And as such, he/she will see to it that the Affiliate/s
