Hi Maria,

I would say you should never plan to retire from SFI as SFI is a lifelong business. It’s a LEGECY business that means you can transfer it to your near & dear one whenever you wish.

If you go through the SFI Affiliate Agreement. Rule 28. States that Affiliate may not assign rights or delegate duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of SFI. Upon request, SFI will provide Affiliate with guidelines for the sale, transfer, or assignment of Affiliate's SFI business.

What I understand from your question is when and how you should opt-out of SFI Business.
Go through the "Affiliate Agreement"

Rule 33
Both SFI and the Affiliate reserve the right to terminate this agreement at any time. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of one year from the date hereof and shall automatically renew upon each anniversary without further act of the parties unless either party has terminated this Agreement by written notice to the other. If terminated, outstanding commissions at time of termination shall be paid in the next payment so long as the terms of this agreement were not violated by the Affiliate. Payment of the final commission payment to the Affiliate may be withheld for a reasonable time in order to ensure that the correct amount is paid.

Rule 36.
Should Affiliate not achieve Executive Affiliate (EA) status at ANY time during a continuous 6-month period, Affiliate understands that he/she will forfeit all accumulated commissions.

Rule 40
Transferability of SFI Affiliateship: In the event of an Affiliate's death, SFI will keep sending commissions in the method that's been selected on the affiliate's account. For example, if the affiliate had chosen to have his or her commission mailed by check, the affiliate's surviving spouse or other representative must ensure they have the legal right to cash a check made out to the name on the SFI account. However, surviving spouses and representatives can also log onto the affiliate's account and make the necessary adjustments to the account name and information. IMPORTANT: surviving spouses and representatives must have account login information. SFI will not provide that information. Note that, other than this particular exception, logging into any SFI account other than your own is strictly prohibited.

ARBITRATION:

Any controversy, dispute or claim between SFI and any other party arising out of/or involving any SFI business relationship shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Procedures of the American Arbitration Association. This arbitration agreement does not cause waiver or modification of either party's right to legal proceedings in a court residing in the same judicial jurisdiction as stated herein to enforce any unpaid monetary debts by either party, as awarded by the arbitrator following Binding Arbitration. The parties agree to such venue as the forum of choice of the parties.

Opting-Out (quitting) or retiring from SFI

You can opt out of (quit) SFI immediately by going to: www.sfimg.com/4515

Please note that there is NO cost or purchase requirements to remain an SFI affiliate. We encourage all our affiliates to work at their own pace. After all, it's YOUR business. All we ask is that you log in at the Affiliate Center (www.sfimg.com) at least once a year.

If you choose to opt out, we're truly sorry it didn't work out. We (SFI) try very, very hard to provide the best program we can for all our affiliates because you are our partners. We are successful ONLY if our affiliates are successful. Should you decide to rejoin us (SFI) sometime in the future, we will be glad to work with you again. Our best to you!

Hope it helps
Have a nice time

Hi!
When i read your question first thing i thought was:"Why would she want to retire from SFI?"
Things i most often hear from people who work their whole life and retire is that it is interesting in beginning and then it gets boring,you feel useless,your income is not enough to do some things you wanted to do...
I think that working with SFI is the best job for retirement!You keep your mind busy,you are still earning money which helps you achieve some goals you have,and the best thing is that you are still working but have a lots of time for all the things you want to do.
So my answer would be do not prepare to retire from SFI,prepare a member of your family to work after you feel you can not do this anymore,work as long as you are healthy and able to do it!
Wish you a lot of success!

Hello Maria,

You can start planning for your retirement when you have 5 Platinum Team Leaders in your 1st generation of PSAs. This will make you a Diamond Team Leader, the highest rank.

When this happens you will, for the most part, have your business on "auto-pilot" and as long as you're logging in at the very least, once a year your account will not be deleted.

But why stop there. If each of your 5 PTLs have 5 GTLs then, WOW. You would really have retirement worthy income.

All this being said, what's the rush? You just started SFI a few months ago. Build your business to the highest levels and retirement planning will be easy.

When should you start preparing for your retirement? Now.

There is no better time to start preparing, like the present. The earlier you start preparing, the more you will accumulate for your latter years.

For eg. If you started to build your retirement portfolio five (5) years ago by putting aside $100 for the year, you would have a total of $100 × 5 years = $500.

For someone who is just starting out this year, you would be ($500-$100) $400 ahead of that individual.

How should you start preparing at SFI?

You need to earn direct and residual income.

You can earn direct income from the purchases of your PSAs, CSAs, PRMs and sales of your ECAs.

In order to benefit from residual income, you need an active team.

You can build a team by using a Co-op, advertising on your own using word of mouth, fliers, banners, etc.

Also, you need to support and help your PSAs to become Team Leaders. This will take some effort and investment on your part.

So the time to start preparing for your retirement is now and you need to build residual income to secure your retirement.

Strike the iron, while it is hot!

Hello Maria
Your question is two in 1: when and how.
To answer number 1, when. It all depends on you. When is a time factor.
Secondly, it depends on what your goals and when you want it accomplished e.g you may tell yourself that i want to make $3,500/mth or i want to be a DTL or PTL or raise 100 active PSAs or 6,000 EA2s down your line. It all depends on what you want and the timing you want it accomplished and sustainable.
To answer question 2, how?
Again, this is determined on what you want as given in the above.
How? Is to set up a strategy that gives you a continual and consistent inflow of income.
B. Set up an ECA Store. This will continue to generate funds for you when you retire.
C. Refer as many ECAs as you can.
D. Get enough active PRMs that will help ynu sustain the business even when you are not active.
E. Be a Team Leader to accumulate more CSAs.
F. Raise a successor who'l be capable to help your team grow and can be an excellent leader to them and can support and help them and a good promoter/marketer.
G. Raise sufficient, strong and active team that can work on their own without your help.
Lastly, set up a standing order and a perpetual fund to take care of it for you that way, you don't lose your commission, perks and other benefits.
Happy retirement when you desire.

I think it is great that you are making a plan for retirement! This kind of forward thinking is what we need to succeed in this business. If we don't know where we are going, we will never know if we have arrived.

Here is what I suggest.

Create a picture of what your retirement looks like. How old do you want to be? How much money each month do you want to have for living?

Once you decided how much money each month you would like to have, check your monthly commissions here at SFI. Then you have a realistic view of how far you need to go. At that point, you can use the income calculator to determine what you need to do in order to get to the level where you can retire. From that point, you need to work in order to get to that goal. It can be done, and it will be done as long as you never give up!

You never really retire from SFI. Why don't you retire. The make up of SFI is that of TEAM building. So once you've established a TEAM you have the PLEASURE of developing, supporting and coaching your team members. Therefore you have a life time network of affiliates whom you will forever be connected to. Once you become accustomed to such vibrant and encouraging network of people who would want to retire?

However, since it is advised that you have and maintain five affiliates (PSAs) that are actively maintaining EA status or above you may wish to retire from active recruitment as your down line continue with that aspect of the business. But if you are a people's person and you love building others up. You will never retire. That's the SFI effect!

Aim High!!! Dream Big!

Smiling?

The prospects remain Great!

If I understand correctly, you want to have a healthy stream of income from SFI which take care of present and future needs with luxurious life style. This is possible and better to AIM high and acieve or fail than to target average and fail.

Based on my understanding of your question, I would advise the following which might be of use.

1. Make sure you maintain qualification to earn in initial stages and target yourself for the highest level of income and gradually move up the ladder.

2. Do whatever it takes to maintain your status every month on SFI so that you can get all the benefits

3. Create a strong team of leaders down the line, so that you can share the knowledge, Skill and income

4. Keep motivating, keep persevering and keep moving.

All the best.

The answer is never. Why? Here's why.

SFI has made it possible for your children and grandchildren to inherit your business. This means that your success carries over to future generations. This makes it a wise investment for you and your family. If you should ever need to retire because of some unforeseen situation, your spouse or children can take over the business; if you are still living, you can benefit from the income, and so can the other members who participate. So the wisest thing to do is to prepare your family, if they choose to join, so that you do not miss a beat. You do not want any interruptions in the activity of your business.
