Question:
"How important is it that your family embrace your SFI business...and what if they don't?"


This is a very serious question. First of all you want your family to be just as serious as you are before sharing valuable information about SFI. You also want to avoid wasting valuable time.

Here is my own experience. Pitching any online business opportunity takes skill. Of course we have the experience, and we know this business has many rewards, but just because we think SFI is the greatest business opportunity around does not mean this is going to be easy sharing with family members.

There were times I attempted this selling to family, and immediately, the first question asked is; "Are you making any money!" The second question; "how much money are you making?" The reason the exclamation is used is to show this is not really a question from themselves, it is a well rehearsed question everyone shouts out at us when we attempt to pitch this business.

Most of my family and friends I have already realize my online activity. They see the amount of hours spent online from my ads. When they visit me I'm working online. I do not pitch this business to them. I wait for them to recognize something posted, and for their comment or question regarding the product. I wait for them to look at my screen when they come over, and ask about something they see me doing.

I'm looking for the seriously seeking, interested in doing the business. I have been doing this for quite some time. All of them are waiting to see my performance improve and support my efforts. Those who are considering to join, and have indicated they are interested in joining will know when things pick up for me. I wait for the moment to share.

Expressing to them how exciting the business is, and how we have the opportunity to play the games may get their attention for a moment, but they will include the ability to play games via social media and other gaming sites.

This is not good enough. Let them wait and see. I treat my family and friends no different than those strangers I now nothing about. I don't waste time with my family either trying to persuade and convince. I look for indicators and act on those which show immediate interests to leverage on.

I stick to the same initial questions, because I realize if they do not fit the first few questions I'm wasting my time. We all know how it feels to spend hours, days, months to get a person to sign and join us, then after the first week they find out this is not a fast money business and remain inactive. Family is no different my friend.

Be patient. You do not want that reputation as being a harassment to family and friends, and will certainly turn them off by harassing them.

What I do is share with them something like; "I would be excited to go out with you, but I'm in the middle of my enrolls and have 30 more New Affiliates to enroll" They will say something like; Wow! you did this in one day?" This is an opportunity. They next question is; "How do you get so many in one day?

Sharing the experiences when we win, or make important progress along the way along with the high points toward our success is best, but only in a tactful tasteful manner. We do not want them to feel like items on a shelf.

I will admit family and friends are the most difficult and most critical to work with. We have to consider their value to us as professional as we would the stranger. We must disqualify them to realize their qualifications.

This takes skill.

Ask the right questions, wait for the right answers; "Are you ready to spend 4 - 8 hours everyday?" This will certainly let you know if you have a serious candidate or not, and help save time.

There is no clear-cut way to accomplish this even if others attempt to convince you there is. Timing is crucial. We must be tactful, with consideration of how we would prefer to be approached, and then sometimes this is not good enough.

There is no business opportunity worth losing the respect of family and friends. Just remember how we would feel if one of our family members or friends got in our face trying to convince of the best opportunity in town.

Good luck in all of your endeavors!

Thank you for allowing me to share.

Hi,

This is a good question, and one I would gladly answer from experience. It is so important that our family embrace our SFI business. But, I must say; they don't, and why not? You may ask.

Some will not see what you see in an internet business. For them it is not legal or a scam. Seeing is believing for them where this concerns. And, there some who will encourage you to go ahead and do it.

Yes, we want them be apart of this business, but they will only wait, and see if you are successful, then they will participate so what can be done is to prove that this business do work, and you can earn a living with it.

But, never or ever be dismay of the choice you have made to be a part of SFI business. If they do not want to embrace it, you continue doing your business.

Success to you and everyone else including myself with the same issue.
Hope this was of some help to you.

Hello Andjela,


Good question,let me ask you: ,how important is that for you,because the SFI business is your business and sure you want your family that they like SFI and do something with it or become member..

My experience with the family is,i'm very enthousiastic and all the possibilitys are there, and yet my family response : oh nice and they live there life. So do not despere if they don't like it or not interested, they will be interested when you are make some money with it.

It is always ,I want to see what you are doing,is it ok and then maybe will enjoy SFI.

You can introduce SFI with a giftcard and may be they like it.
You have to look to people who have the same interest. If they like to learn and read and explore than is SFI for them.


Good luck and for all have fun, with or without your family!

Your have made the step to join SFI , thats great,

It’s very important that your family embrace what you’re doing because when you have full support and someone cheering you on, it creates a better atmosphere for your success.

When you’re around negativity and doubts about your ability and business choices, it makes it much more challenging to build a business.

Unless your family has a background in business, they’re not going to understand what you’re doing - and that’s ok. What you do want to tell them that you need them to be supportive and not offer any criticism of your business and the choices that you make.

Let them know that when you’re ready for their input on your business choices you will let them know.

It’s not necessary to have full support of your SFI business from your family, but it does help greatly when you have people around you that love and support what you do even though they may not completely understand what you’re doing.

The most important thing, however, is that you believe in yourself first and foremost.

I am sure that mutual work of the family members in promoting is very important for success in any business, so in SFI business too. But some family members look differently, they are skeptic. They don't believe that after a certain period investments of money, work and time into SFI business will lead to more prosperous life.

The question is what if the family members don't embrace the SFI business. My answer is : GO ON in spite of all obstacles.

My experience is just like this one. As I started the SFI business I tried to persuade my family, I asked them to help me promote it because they are younger and have many contacts. It was in vein and so now I don't even mention what I am doing. I say to myself - my family are all members of the SFI world, they have the same plans and wishes. I send them my love in my thoughts, I repeat positive confirmations every day : I am happy, I am successful, I deserve earning money by enjoying myself, my life is prosperous.

Andjela, it would be a wonderful thing if your "family embraced your SFI business" in the same way as you do. Unfortunately, however, such is normally not the case. Most people, and this would likewise include most family members, are interested in more "immediate gratification", the kind received from regular-paying jobs.

You on the other hand, must find the strength to move on despite the opposition you may receive from family members. You must not allow their negativity to influence your decision to think "outside-the-box" of their conventional thinking. Perhaps in time, as you become more successful by each passing day, their attitudes will change, and they will become more receptive to what you do.

Until then, Andjela, continue on towards your QUEST for SUCCESS with SFI!

I hope this helps you.

That's a very good question and faced by almost all PSAs.
The support of family is very important and if you get your family's support initially then your SFI business will skyrocket immediately. But it doesn't always happen that way. Most of us face this challenge and wished we could get family's support. In my personal case too I too wished all my family members supported me but it is not there. But its a challenge for me. I have taken it as a project to be completed anyhow. I am prepared to give it all and I am sure I will do it. It was my decision to join SFI and I will do it anyway whether my family members support it or not. It's my dream and goal. Eventually when I succeed in SFI I know they will all like it and enjoy it.
I hope you have got this point clear that whether your family members support or not support you must do it to get success in SFI.

All the best to you.

It is very important that your family embrace your SFI business because it will impact on
them in many ways.Remember,when you start a business,it wont affect you alone but your
whole household.The family finances are involved and the other partner need to be consulted
for is or her approval.The other way to elicit support from your loved ones is to discuss
your business with them.

Show them exactly what you're doing,where your started and where you are presently.In a nutshell,show your family members your business road map on how you progress with your SFI business.Impress upon them the benefits of your business. That it will augment or replace the income of your household. Advice them further that you're in business for yourself but not by yourself and encourage them to be part of your SFI business.By doing this,members of your family will not only be giving support you're desperately after but, will also learn along the way the ropes of running a successful business.

You end your question with "what if they don't"? This is a tricky one, however I do not
think that your family members will not give the necessary support after you have taken
them on board and explaining in detail your plan and further showing them the progress and
momentum.Let them know that even if they do not physically get involved in your business,their approval is critical as every business comes with many difficulties such as stress,financial constraints,work schedule and many more and all this may impact on their lives along the way. By showing them that you are doing something daily on your SFI business, will give them the assurance and encouragement that you're serious about success.

Good day Andjela,

Based on my experience, I would say its insignificant.

Why?

Because as a business owner, whether you get the support from your parents or not, and you keep striving, you will excel and make it. For instance, if you are dependent on your parents, then it would be of great concern as you would be going beyond their wish as they might feel you are wasting you time and money on irrelevant things.

On the other hand, if they support you, indeed it would be a plus as they can help you spread the word about SFI/Tripleclicks. Having the drive and determination, can make you acheive your goals. For instance, if you are a team leader, your badges would be displayed on your homepage, the sponsor/co-sponsor ratings and other level of acheivement.

At the same time, your commission report grows. There is the saying that seeing is believe. With that you can show your commission report as a sign and proof of your acheivement so that they can join you.

Hope I was able to help.

For me, personally, it's more important that my family embrace ME, than embrace my SFI business. If they embrace me, they automatically embrace my SFI business whether or not they believe that it will be my ticket to future financial success.

Of course I'd like it if my family also actually believe that SFI is my ticket to future financial success, but it doesn't matter to me if they don't. As long as they are happy with me spending time on my SFI business, I look forward to making them even happier when I show them that I've "made it" through SFI.

People are different, but, for me, it's probably best if my family DON'T embrace my SFI business. It makes me work that much harder at it, as I look forward to the day that I can spoil my family rotten due to my efforts at SFI.
