If I have to answer a question like this, I would say, "Let us do a comparison".

T = Traditional, brick and mortar business, 10 hours per day for the first year.
SFI = Affiliate program using computer and internet connection, 2 hours per day.

Customer base: T = Local population in one country. SFI = World, 150 countries.

Items to sell: T = 100 - 200 +/-. SFI = 98,000

Start up cost: T = $100,000+ SFI = Less than $200 per month.

If you want your own business, which has yet to work out, it will cost you money for advertising, renting space, bills for various utilities, salaries and training for employees, if you have them and a multitude of other things. This does not include your time and expertise, as a condition to start to do a specific job.

On the other hand, you have a job with the SFI, which allows you partner status with all the benefits, knowledge base, technical and other support with minimum investment.

i think the difference being an SFI affiliate and traditional business is:

1. Getting Started
-SFI Affiliate, registration is absolutely free.
-Traditional Business, you requires investing money.

2. Nature of Business
-SFI Affiliate, offers diversified business opportunities or program at any level of business interest one might get in mind.
-Traditional Business, you can only engage in one nature of business at the start. It would costs you a lot on marketing

Traditional business requires much more time, and money and your chances of losing is much greater than if you are an SFI affiliate.

As an SFI affiliate you have the opportunity to work at home or on the go. It's all about you, your preferences and your freedom. It is also about having the opportunity to give back to your community, by helping others become successful. In all the years of searching and spending thousands and thousands of dollars I became introduced to SFI which costs

That's a great question...

Since I have owned my own business for several years I have found one of the most noticable things to the traditional business, "Other than the overhead cost." is When you hire employees to work for you, they end up taking what you have taught them & start their own business to become your competition. This cost you a lot of valuable time, laboring effort & more money than you can imagine.

With SFI you are Rewarded for training your

Hi,

Its a great question, Traditional and SFI business.

Well its a big difference in many ways. Traditional business you need to move accordingly your presence should always be there at least 12 hours or more.As if you get more income daily. Where this you dont need to do in SFI you can stay without specific time as important you log in daily and do your daily task 2-3 hrs daily is very good.

Second traditional is not accessible if your store or business let say

The difference between the traditional and the affiliate business is huge.
1 With a traditional business you must first have a degree for the required job
2 In the traditional workplace you have to spend a strictly specified time tadno
3 In the traditional workplace you receive a pay-as-you designate another
4 In the traditional workplace could possibly have a grumpy boss who must put up with a smile
5 In the traditional workplace, and the time of your holiday we decide safes
