I do not know how I did not enrolled in SFI 15 years ago.
I'm on the Internet since 1993.
Probably the need to first learn Marketing English with words such as:

marketing leads, referrals, prospect, customer, angry buyers, opt-in, verified subscribers, trusted opportunities, income figures 6 7 9, 4 tiers, hipe, tips, cross marketing , rules compliances, affiliates, associates, mass mailing, spam, upline, downline, online advertising, including contextual ads, search engine

Like most things in life you have the what if's? Should I, would I, could I?
It is part of the human condition to question and unfortunately over think situations that in the end will always give a positive or a negative reason for coming to the achieved end.
We stress ourselves over simple things yet when handed something with any level of complexity stand back and be amazed at how well you did because of not over thinking or reacting due to not having the time to ponder what if.
It's

When I started out I had no Idea if I could earn from SFI, I think I would Have Invested faster in setting up ECA status, preparing product ahead of time.
I would set a firm budget and focus my spending on bringing in new affilliates and ECA's, use a seperate household budget for personal orders, so that I have consistant funding for standing orders, and advertising. ( Find lots of offers in the buisness products listings) less impulse buying.
I think most importent is making a strong

I would spend less time recruiting affiliates and more time recruiting ECA's and advertising TripleClicks (TC). While I agree recruiting affiliates is important, so is making money. You're more likely to make money faster by recruiting ECA's than affiliates. I did not realize how important this was and sort of treated TC as an after thought. I wish now I had focused primarily on TC.

- On day 1, I would fill in every form, fast track and reach EA status.
- On day 1, I would set up a couple or more of recurring standing orders that would maintain both my TL status and get me CSAs, PSAs. IAHBE ensures 1500VP, the natural hair and body shampoo is just a brilliant brilliant money-saving fresh and natural product and one or more S-builder co-op units would beautifully do.
- On day 1, I would create my co-ops and start getting the most promising affiliates in it.
- Every

This is a powerful question, and I am very glad it has come up. That is because it has the power to positively affect everyone who reads the responses, and get them in connection with the many paths to success.

If I were to start completely over, I would do everything the same, but with 10x more the efforts with just 10 actions.

That is, 1. I would immediately get to work on my Getting Started Actions and LaunchPad Lessons to earn at least 500 VersaPoints and my Fast-Track Badge

Great question.
A second chance makes you to work even harder.

If I am getting a second chance,I will be able to focus on my goal more confidently. First I will clearly define the roots of problems and needs , in the achievement of my goal and work on it.

First, I standing order of 1500 VP value.
It includes:
1s-Builder co-op
Versa point for shopping.
The reason for this is that if you have the Vp 1,500 per month, you have the EA's as well.
The S-Builder Co-op helps to build a team.
Of course it is very important to also post your ads for free of charge websites.
Very important that the PSA mail, Cha mail by writing to urge, to help
the team members.
Congratulations for the results achieved by the individual

A new start is always good if it means to better your self.

What to do differently, is to recall any mistakes made before and not repeat them. Do better than what you did before.

If this means having a more positive look at SFI as your own business, and not giving up then take the steps.

If learning new stuff that weren't there before then that is very beneficial for you as you may already have an idea in how SFI works, but now also have the tools to do better to

If I could start over again with the knowledge I have now, I would do a lot of things differently. I guess part of being new is the learning process, and hopefully we can pass some of these ideas down to our new affiliates and help them progress faster.

First of all, I would wait on a lot of my "one-time" action points. It is so easy to earn EA status your first month with all the VP you can earn from these points. I always advise my new affiliates to stop earning those points
