The biggest difference to me is OVERHEAD. With a traditional brick and mortar business you have overhead. A lot of business expenses, like rent, utilities, payroll, etc... With SFI you can run it from the comfort of your own home without added expenses (unless you spend money on advertising/marketing.) As a added bonus, you can run your SFI business in your PJs -- can't do that with a traditional store.

I like to be with my family and friends, and job on SFI as affiliate gives me enough free time for it.
Also, I can choose when I will work and how long.
From my personal involvement depends my success and earnings. Does it not wonderful?
Traditional business requires almost every day in the same order in the work, full-time, traffic jams, sometimes nervous bosses…
If there already is a opportunity for financial independence, then why not use it?
In my opinion

There is lots of difference between the two models. Most notably if you don't communicate well in a traditional business you will not succeed.

Once in a traditional business you need to be totally committed or your finances will suffer.So you need to know a bit about the business before you start traditionally.

With an SFI affiliate you can start fresh and learn as you go with minimal capital requirement. But you need to commit well spent time and have exciting goals to attain.

Hello dear,
but, I personally think that the difference lies in the fact that there are two realities in perfect harmony, SFI and Treipleclick, and until now there is a site in the world so well organized and your monetary investment, otherwise you will be repaid.
I want to give you a simple example:
Participate in the auctions won affiliates rather than buying the same affiliate is an investment that with a bit of luck makes you progress.
Including this simple system, it should

As an SFI affiliate you are a business owner just like any other business. The major difference is that an SFI affiliate does not need any start up capital and accrues no running costs. As an SFI affiliate you easily work from the comfort of your home and at your own pace. You also have an added advantage of free training and can easily interact with fellow business people without having to travel to any conference.

the difference is very great truth as we humans can only work 8 hours a day on our business if we are self-employed, but SFI allows us to use the principle of duplication, is a tool that allows us to use the time for other people to part of their effort is for our benefit in return we give them valuable information on how to do business, and in addition to this sfi working 24/7 this means that operates 365 days a year 24 hours a day, so while we sleep our business continues to generate income, the

Hi ,
The difference between an SFI affiliate and having a traditional business that in SFI you can subscribe for free and you can work at any time you want its a daily work but at the hour you prefer and as you want but in traditional work you are conduct by rules and times you should have a profession to do the traditional business . For me the best is SFI in which there are no rules , free , you can do it from home , it's amusing especially when you participate in auction more than that you

I have been reading the answers to this question,all are good answers,
but if you look at it this way

To start a traditional business,you either buy one,or start your own,
which will cast you,between $500,000 to $100,000,then you need stock,
depending on what you are selling,minumumn of say $50,000 to get started

Sfi !! cost nothimg to get started,possibly $100,00 to really get started,
obviousky there is the difference between a traditional business,and

I have never owned my own traditional business before,so I can't really tell how it is to have one.And I may never know.But I do know how it is for me being a SFI affiliate.It's fun once you get into it mechanism ,you need a team ,you need time,it's not hard job at all which surely can't be said about traditional business where you have 1000 things to take care of ,to think of,problems to solve ,people to hire/fire ect.
So I can basically say I am happy not to have to bother with those things

There's a big difference between being an SFI business enterpreneur and have a traditional business.
SFI business enterperneur need only a small investment and its risk free.It have a multi functional type of business operating worldwide via internet just at a tip for your fingers.

Traditional business need big investment and a place,location and type of product for the business,etc. Work longer hours, pay salaries,electricity,waterbills and other utilities expenses.
