One of the best tips my sponsor gave me was the initial guideline of checking and completing the "TO DO LIST" daily.
Through using this list I learned my way around the website and became familiar with it.

He also had some fantastic offers of buying your own affiliates available. Even though I didn't quite know enough about the business I jumped into it and have now my own EA's that I am training.

The best "tip" by far though is seeing my sponsor being

I know it's hard when your sponsor won't respond. I was in the same boat. Sometimes you can find another member who is willing to help answer your questions. The best advice I ever got was that even if no one gives you any advice, remember that this is YOUR business, and it is by YOUR effort that will it will become profitable. Don't let anyone else determine if you're going to succeed or fail because of their unwillingness to help you. Make a commitment to work it every day faithfully and you

I never got any advice from my upline. When I first started I looked to them as being knowledgeable and able to help guide me, but they never responded to any of my requests.

Despite this I have built my team and learned from the training, forums, and A2A friends. I have committed myself to being a better help to my downline than my upline has been for me and I always respond to questions and regularly encourage my downline to keep pushing forward.

I got many good advices from my upline because a few of them are very active and they send me and all our team weekly team mails with useful information, steps, tips and advices.

And those advices helped me to understand better what is SFI business about and to move forward faster.

Because I can’t choose only one best advice, I will mention here a few best advices (under quotes):

1.) “Do NOT try to learn everything about SFI in a few days or weeks. The SFI Affiliate

The best advice even not from my up line is:

- Never quit
- Be patient
- Have a plan
- Execute the plan (don't be lazy)

All of these are important but most important is to have a plan. The plan is always individual you can not copy the plan of someone else. It is depending on you how much time and efforts you want and you are willing to invest, so this should be taken into consideration while making the plan.

Hope this help!

First and foremost SFI is not a get rich quick business. So it takes time to build relationship that produces results.

secondly, you shouldn't learn everything about SFI in a few days or weeks, it takes a long process so that you can understand what is all about.

Always make sure that you remain as EA and remain an Executive Affiliates every month. In order to Advance to team Leader, you will need a team to work with.

What was the best advice I ever got from my sponsor or upline?

In a nutshell the best advice my sponsor gave me was to do a better job of sponsoring than he was doing.

Apart from the Welcome email, I have never heard a thing from him. This feeling of aloneness has taught me to keep regular communications with my team. I don't want them feeling like I felt.

My sponsor has never responded to any of my questions. From him I learned to beg my team to ask me questions

The best advise I got from my sponsor was treat my business like a business! DO something to grow my business every day. Spread the word about SFI and TripleClicks. Advertise, talk to family , friends, co-workers even strangers. Log in everyday, try to read the forum and daily tips to keep up with whats happening within SFI. Make a realistic goal for myself, something not so far out of reach. Stay focused till I reach that goal then set another one. Teach my downline to do the same. Most of all don't

My advice when I started was to look at the basics. Since the first day I have not heard from my upline at all. It helped me to learn things on my own though. I have been an Executive Affiliate 3 months in a row now trying to get bronze team leader.

If I had a downline I would keep in contact with them at least once a week like I do with my csa's. Just to see how they are doing and if they have any questions about sfi.
