He said to help others on SFI forum, because that way you will double check your answers and read about relevant subject before you post, and that is the best way to learn SFI business. Also, you read what other people are posting and there are some great guys and girls from whom you can learn a lot.

My Sponsor holds weekly webinars and he has provided some wonderful advice in the form of a video his 3-Step Plan.

Basically it shows you how to be successful in your SFI business in 3 Steps.

1. Become an EA and stay an EA each month (a Standing Order for IAHBE is great for this it gives you 1500VP)

2. Find 5 serious Affiliates who become an EA each month.

3. Teach these 5 affiliates to do the same each month.

This is the best, short and to the point advice I had from my upline:

In case a new affiliate gets "information overload" and overwhelmed.

Just follow the MAP

Minimum Action Plan

1. Become and Remain an Executive Affiliate (EA)
2. Find 5 to join you
3. Teach them the same.

It worked for him ;-) One of the top leaders today.

The best advice I have found so far is definitely the SFI LaunchPad.
Especially the "SFI Rules Of Success" (Day 28), written by SFI President Gery Carson, are fundamental and invaluable guidelines you can apply on whatever project you may be involved in.
To follow these principles is crucial for your success or failure in any engagement - in your personal life as well as in your business.

I wish I had been given even a single advice by my upline when I joined SFI, but sad to say to this day, aside from the Welcome Letter, there were no other communications. I have contacted everyone on my line of sponsorship to introduce myself and seek advice but none responded.

However, this lack of support helped me to be self-sufficient and not rely on any one of them for assistance and advice. Sufficient enough is the free training and resources provided by SFI and the many helpful

It is hard to open your ears, listen, and follow good advice, when you are young and bold, when the hart dominates over reason.

Thats why it is wrealy great luck to have 'rare pearl' up liner, one expirienced and well well-intentioned, lider. His advises is invaluable, and his patience can avoid many business mistakes.
Advice I remember, and still try to follow is:
Do not let the bad hard moments put you down, do not fall. If you are on the knees, get up fast, becouse

The most beneficial advice I was given was to Log in daily. Review the Marketing tab in my Home Page. Explore the Marketing methods thoroughly. Use at least one to advertise daily. The key to building your own business was to stay informed, build your downline of PSA and CSA. Then proceed to advertise, advertise, advertise.

The best advice I got was nothing!

I had to learn to do it on my own, and realize this was my business.

But it also taught me what I need to do, and that is help all of my downline as best I can.

It would be nice to have any upline help, which is why I help them as much as I can, which is what every sponsor should do.

The best advice I got from my sponsor is to do all the work set out for me in the Launchpad and the To-Do-List.

I was also advised to get a Standing Order with 1,500 VersaPoints as this would ensure my position as EA2.

My sponsor told me that if I did all of the above I would not fear losing my position.

I hope the above was helpful.
