If you had to start over with SFI, having the knowledge and tools you have now that you didn't have before, what would you do differently?

As I go through the SFI business, I would take the LaunchPad Lessons and go through them slower to absorb the information in more detail, with advertising and how to work the business and be more successful, I would take each of the lessons one day at a time, to have a better understanding and how to achieve the goals I want to with the training that SFI has to offer.

Find and work with someone that has the knowledge of how to incorporate all the techniques that are shown in the LaunchPad

That is an interesting question.

I do not believe that there is anything that needs changing.
SFI has made everything very simple.
With training and endless pages of great information

And awarding versa points keeps our attention so we want to do more
and when we do more ,we learn more.

And by the time all the lessons are finished we have a pretty good idea of how the business works.

Anyone who can follow instructions and wants to succeed

Interestingly enough, we all wish, at some point, that we knew yesterday, what we know today. However, if I could turn back time, one of the major things I would do differently is start off by purchasing a product and putting it on SO immediately.

I have realized, over the years, that the best products to sell are the ones that you are currently using. When I started, I was so focused on the "FREE" part of SFI, that I didn't bother to buy anything - hence the reason for my non-success.

I just recently joined SFI, and I am glad you asked this question.

I would do exactly the same thing that I did. I followed the SFI training, and a listened to the advice of my sponsor.

I went step by step through the training. Everyone has a different learning curve, and I tend to grasp things quickly. Take the time necessary to understand completely how SFI works. If you have to read something two or three times, read it two or three times. If you want SFI to work for you,

To be honest, I would do evrything different from day 1. However, having said that, I followed my path set out by SFI by doing all the tasks that gave VP points.
You get a "fast track" badge and a certain amount of VP points for reaching a total set out by SFI when that total is reached.

I believe this should not be a motivator, as with myself, I did not read all the material as carefully as one should. Weeks later, you find you need to go back and re-read an article which

Starting all over again; (1) be more focus, check on details more thoroughly, be more organize , seek help from the best team, be more determine, consider where you are and where you want to be, be hopeful, seek advice from the experts, find ways of putting in a lot of work, to reach to the highest level. My motto is; if at first you don not succeed try try and try again also it is better to try and fail than don’t try at all.

I would glean way more from my upline and start a 1500VP standing order right away. You can easily reach Bronze in your first month with a good standing order.

I would also order the W3 package right away and use the decal to advertise. It is a cheap and simple marketing tool.

After I reached a good rank and starting bringing in affiliates, I would devote my time getting them to follow my steps and helping them replicate it.

These steps right from the start would

The tools of SFi - start, basics, and launchpad - have been very important for me.
I've can achieve before made any success in Internet marketing.
With the tools, I realized what matters and through constant training by my sponsor I am learning to do so at any time.
The blog of my sponsor gave regularly and advice me.

I would (1)follow the guide for the new affiliate (To-do list)to gain some VersaPoints right away that help me build my rank as an affiliate.
(2) Start building my team of affiliates right away using the S-Builder Co-op for acquiring CSAs and any social media I am a member of for better promotion of my business through friends, family, and acquaintances.
(3)I would also become a TC member with a Standing Order to become an EA.
(4)I would continue to apply any other method that SFI

Yes I would do it differently. Whit this knowledge that I have now, I would be more serious about SFI. Now I see that this is not some kind of freud, this is serious buisness. I would visit SFI every day to earn more and more points. You can make it but you must be persistent. I started juts to help my friend, but then I didnt know what SFI is. Every day I learn something new. My friend helped my understand this buisness. Now we wait to see what will be.
