Would it be nice to have your family embrace your SFI business? Of course it would & if they do, it would be a great benefit to you to have their support. It would also make things allot easier for you in the beginning especially if you can get some of them to join to work with you as a team.

Unfortunately this won't always be the case for everybody, but don't let this get you down. If your family isn't willing to embrace SFI at first it's certainly not the end of the world, in fact let it give you more motivation to work even harder at making a success of your SFI business. I am certain that once you make a success of it and your family gets to see your success they will change their minds about it and learn to embrace it. This of course will then be a good thing because then u should be able to get them to join your team and you will be able to pass on all the SFI knowledge you have gained to help them succeed as well. Then you will all be able to reap the rewards of SFI.

Hi,

I certainly can relate to this question...
It is Very Important, BUT if they Don't that could also be a Positive for YOU.

Here is my family situation:
1. My sister introduced me to SFI, but due to her own personal/financial problems.... she became inactive.
She still supports me (offline), but I want her to come back as soon she can, so that she can prosper like me...

2. My brother is a VERY sceptical person... he did his own research and told me "You are wasting your time." BUT this made me even more DETERMINED, lol.... I went back and did my own research and now I have an answer for every point he makes to persuade me otherwise.... I have learned a lot more from SFI because I need "Proof" for his arguments.... He is not yet convinced, but at least He's not telling me I'm wasting my time ANYMORE. And he even congratulated me for becoming a REAL Businesswoman, (I'm a stay at home mom) and this has Boost my confidence a lot.

3. My husband are not in the Least interested in my SFI Endeavors and he is also Sceptic. He wants to see money-growth before one has to invest anything.... But I'm slowly and gently working on changing his mind. For example....He's the first one I brag to, if I have won a PB Auction/EZ Game/ T-credits or VP.... or at the 10th each month when my Commission are calculated and paid out. (My commission are still small, but it grows monthly.)
He is becoming more interested as time passes.... I am determined to show him that I will succeed...
(once again because I'm a stay at home mom... and there is a perception that Homemakers are Not contributing to Household financially).... It is my Goal to earn more and help support my family.

4. I have 3 sons... and they are also (like their daddy) Sceptic. They are also jealous because now I'm am dividing my attention between them and SFI... BUT they LOVE it when I win an Auction... and my oldest Teenage son Love to help Mom out with Knock-out Trivia and Gold Streak : it becomes a 'friendly battle' between us to see who are more Clever.

From my experience.... IF THEY DON'T embrace your SFI Business :
Set it as your GOAL to prove to them that YOU ARE a Business SAVVY person, you Will grow beyond measure if you use this as a POSITIVE and Motivating source.

AND always Remember - SFI has lots of fellow Afilliates who are Your SFI Family....and with all of their support and help.... you don't need your blood relatives to hold you down.

AIM HIGH....

TO YOUR Success! YOU can Do it.

Love from your SFI sister...

Is it important to have your family on your side when building an SFI business? Absolutely not! Is it important to have a great sponsor or co-sponsor. Absolutely not. This things are nice, but not essential.

What you need to build this business is the guts and determination to do this no matter what obstacle you face. If you don't have that, no amount of loving encouragement from your family or your sponsors will make a bit of difference. It has to come from within you, not from an exterior source.

When I started this business, my wife was the proverbial witch with rabies, denouncing this business as a scam, telling me it was either her or this business. I built it in spite of her. In eight days I was TL Bronze, back in the days before Fast Track. We went through incredibly hard times, times when we didn't have food to eat, times when the electricity was shut off because we couldn't pay the bill, times when we couldn't put gas in our car when it was empty. In the middle of that, social security abruptly cut of my retirement payments when that was our only source of income, and it took four months to get that straightened out. In spite of everything, I kept building the business.

He who won't be stopped can't be stopped. Now our financial situation has changed radically. What we went through empowered both of us, and fortified our resolve. Yes we are still together, and no she is not involved in the business, but she realized that I was going to do it with or without her. Through that, her respect for my strength and resolve has grown, and I don't hear any more negative comments about the business from her.

We both had to learn to respect and believe in each other, but far more important was for us to respect and believe in ourselves. That comes first and the other will follow.

This is an excellent question because it is possible that some of us are living it.

Really the ideal condition is that the whole family support us in each life project we decide to undertake. It is an ingredient that increases the motivation and desire to succeed. This situation is not always possible and put as an example my own. My wife is impatient and increasingly ask me what I have earned, as my answer does not convince her then claims that the business fails. Her expectation is to make a lot of money overnight. I have explained repeatedly that this is a safe and reliable long-term business with tangible results (I show her the commissions paid to my paypal account) and this is just my first year in SFI. The important thing to note is your conviction, that you believe firmly that works regardless of the perception of others and that the time will finish giving you the reason. If there is gallantry in your family environment, they probably ask you apologize, they will put you as an example of struggle and they will interest in learning more about the opportunities that SFI offers.

It is important to note that by human nature man has different criteria about how perceive the world around him, so this situation must be taken as normal therefore should not distance us from our goal which is nothing more than having a better quality of life and ultimately share it with them.

I hope I have contributed to this excellent answer to this question.

Like everything else in life family support can help a lot - but it is not a matter of life and death.

If your family is excited about it and they help you to achieve your goals it is wonderful but if they are not behind you, you have to go for it on your own. Your success will eventually pull them in.

If you have at least one person you can train to take over from you if you have to or want to stop working you can be happy.

If nobody is interested and not even your success can convince them, it might be necessary for you to find somebody outside of your family.

What is going to happen to your business if you get sick? when you want to retire? when you pass away?

Your family's involvement and support can help but it is not necessary while you are going strong - but think about the long term and plan around that.

What if you can not get anybody to take over from you? Not much - except that all your hard work will not bring residual income to you or anybody you care about.

The answer depends on where you are on your journey with SFI.

Obviously, you will want their support eventually, but at first, you may or may not get it. At that point it doesn't really matter - a lot of people are skeptical about any online business.

What matters is that you believe in yourself. If your family and friends are not in support of you, then you need to find that inner strength each of us has to continue, until you can show them that it works - and it does, if you follow the advice available throughout the site.

Contrary to popular wisdom, I would rather achieve some level of success in a business before I start trying to win my family and friends over - that way, when I do, I have something positive to share with them, which makes getting their support much, much easier.

When you are able to walk in the door having just 'fired the boss', you are in a much stronger position if you are able to show them that you have already established a steady stream of residual income from your business!

Hope this helps!

The support of family is essential in SFI business for many reasons. Some are;
1. Moral boost: When your family supports your SFI business, it boost your moral and keeps you going at all time. When your moral is down or feel like quitting, they encourage you always.

2. Helping hand: The family support means extra hands to work with you. Your family members will do recruitment of their friends and colleagues into your team. This will not only increase your team members but also your income.

3. Wider platform: A bigger platform is generated when your family supports your SFI business. They help in advertising products you advertise on your social networks ( Facebook, Twitter etc), allow you to advertise on their blogs and website. This means an increase in your PRMs as well as sales.

4. Target reached: Once you share your goals in SFI business with your family members and they support you, you will get the goals faster. They encourage you always and give you ideas to help you in your business. Emotional and financial hurdles can be eased by family members.

If you get your family members support in doing your SFI business, you are lucky because this is a luxury many affiliates never get.

SFI is your new business.

I feel it is very important to have the family support when starting any new business and SFI is no different.

I know that sometimes people do become rather skeptical of online businesses but that could be just because they don't understand how it works.
Explain to your family why you have started this business opportunity and how you feel it will benefit your life. This way they will understand and become less cynical.

But remember it is YOUR business so if they don't support you, it is still your choice what you do. There is plenty of support available for all affiliates on SFI so don't be discouraged by any negativity you may face from anyone, This is easier said than done when those people are close to you but your life is ultimately your responsibility. You never know after being with SFI for a while you will have a growing income and take them out to dinner and just subtly remind them of the fact that your online business is paying for this dinner.

Well i can say is that for some people it might be important that their family members embrace the fact that you are building up a business, support or being supported by the people you love is important in every aspect of life, so also in or for your SFI business.

However if they do not embrace the fact that you are trying to build something up, do not feel discouraged, or set you down, instead let it be an extra target.

What i mean by that is that you can show your relatives that they were wrong, that you are or have build up a great business, even without their support or interest in SFI.

My wife doesn't care about my business, however now that i can show her a small extra income and a business growing every month, she is steadily changing her mind over it, and who knows, someday she may embrace my SFI business too.

It is a very good question and indeed one would also add: “How important is it that your family embrace any type of work that you do?”

Relationships are central to our well being and development, and if in a family, one should never ignore those closest to him or her. There are several examples of relationships that have broken down because of differences in the split of time between family and work. So it is not just SFI it could be any kind of work.

Your efforts in terms of time, input and investment determine whether your SFI business succeeds or not, with or without your family embracing it. However, you should always have your family’s interests in your equation as unforeseen situations may arise where you would have to re-scale your priorities.

If your family fully embrace your SFI business, it is a very big bonus and they may even start buying some of their regularly used items through your store at Tripleclicks and even encourage their friends to do the same.

You are ultimately the master of your destiny but you should never ignore your family's interests.
