SFI encourages us to support our downline, however SFI has not said that we have to support them financially. Supporting your downline financially is a personal decision that should be based on your ability to do so. If you cannot support them financially, then don't even attempt to do so.

Under the Training Tab on your Homepage, read the articles in the After Your Affiliates Join section, especially the Be An Awesome Sponsor Article. Use your money to grow your personal business. When

The best support a Team Leader can give to their downline is the support of Acknowledgment and Recognition. It feels good to be acknowledged for every step you make, as you progress. Acknowledgement and recognition demonstrate the importance of having this particular affiliate on your team. An affiliate who knows that their efforts are valuable will look to move forward, as they see you do on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

And, as they move forward in acquiring versapoints, you may

Support does not have to be financial, you can succeed in this business w/o spending money if you can't afford to do it. Spending money = investing in your business and this will speed up the process but it is not a must.

So, supporting the affiliates in your team can be done by being an Awesome Sponsor and by Leading by Example!

Make sure you are committed to your business and Show It! Your badges speak for this. Train your team to duplicate your efforts and you'll all see

I understood your question perfectly, you are asking how you are going to provide money too your affiliates in order to succeed if you do not have enough money to give them.

Your answer it this " MAN DOES NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE" I am writing this phrase from the bible in Capital letters not to imply yelling but for emphasis because this is the answer to your question. Now I am going to translate it to SFI terms and show you how it applies. "MAN" refers to your

I believe that the kind of support you offer your affiliates does not necessarily have to be financial; especially in a case where you do not have enough yourself. So in that case just being there for them to offer guidance; mentor and motivate them to perform their daily, weekly and monthly tasks will be enough.

However if you believe you want to do more than just coaching; and you have an S-builder co-op a you could re-assign your new sign-ups to your hard-working down-line to support

Well, to begin with, I know that I need to be an example for my team. Therefore, it is necessary for me to collect badges as many as I can afford. At least that is one of the proofs I can show to my team that I am serious in SFI business.

I will make sure that I can be an EA each month. I will set a certain amount of fund to achieve EA each month. The best way to be an EA is from Standing Order of TCredits. By being an EA, I will get free TCredits. I also will enter the T-Time contest

This is A very good question.
First I believe that everyone should do their very best to get their VersaPoints on their own
encourage them along the way to:
Do their to do list
send out team mails
enter contests
You don't want to become a crutch
But on the other hand if you have some good hardworking affiliates
who you know for a fact are doing all they can
Then offer them a gift certificate or
T Credits and advise them to use them wisely
And

Hmm; First of all, one must inquire what is being referred to when the word SUPPORT is put to use.
Are you denoting the provision of financial support or that of reassurance or proper support?
Secondly, if it is financial then to what extent of financial support may be necessary and or excessive.
• If a person needs much financial support then they essentially must to grow up and get an income, go deliver a pizza or something, then return and assist their self here.
• However

If a sponsor / Team leader is him / her self in poor financial condition then,
First guide your down line by duplicating them, soon you will find out those Psa's / Csa's who are willing to work seriously.
Contact them regularly and try to convince them for setting up a joint co-op of S-Builder with you. Those who are willing to share in your S-builder co-op, you should divide an equal share amongst them all.
Contact other up line members in your Psa's up line (Team Leaders). Try to

We are all here for the same thing. To achieve a better standard of living and financial freedom. Businesses grow and are made successful through hard work, endurance and a belief in one self. However, to sustain your SFI business I believe a standing order is an absolute must. It will help maintain your position and rank, and help your commissions grow.

Support your downline affiliates by telling them about the many free options for earning money with SFI, T-Time, Wave3, becoming an ECA
