Successful leaders know and do a number of things.

1. A successful leader knows to treat their business like a business
and not like a hobby. They have a set time to be productive and they
don't waste that time playing games or watching tv.

2. They know that they need to do something to grow their business
every day, even if it's just doing their todo list.

3. They know to discipline themselves and to focus on what's going to save
them the most money, or save them the most time.

4. They know to work with the workers, and be more attentive to the ones who
are doing what they should and giving them the help they need.

5. They know to set goals and have a realistic plan. Without goals being set and working toward them. To fail to plan, is to plan to fail.

6. They know to lead by example. Duplication is the key. As a leader you have to be self starter. Then you have to teach others to be the best they can be. The self starters will take care of themselves and their downline.

Let's not make SFI more complicated than it really is. The SFI Ultra Basic Plan is 3 steps, and it is all you need to concentrate on.

1. Become an EA and remain EA. This is a small investment each month to keep your store open and operating.

2. Advertise to find people to join you. Lots of different ways you can advertise. SFI has lots of ideas on how to that for those just starting out. And our group has great people willing to help.

3. Teach those people steps 1 & 2.

The concept is really simple. Of course, you cannot make someone do those steps if they don't want to. But that is why you keep advertising until you find ones who are interested.

and this :

1) Forget the debates roiling among other affiliates and just start TRYING things. If there was agreement about a topic, perhaps I would follow suit and apply the tried and true, but there was not. So the only option was to try for myself. Really try.

2) Just be helpful in general. Not just to your downline, but adopt a willingness to help other affiliates whether you actually SEE any benefit or not. I always thought I was a helpful person, but when it came to SFI, I was hogging my time to do things and help people I thought would benefit me most.

3) Do my best to show my team (and others) that I was willing to give more of myself to them than to myself. That includes time, effort, and even money. Why? I would refer you back to "If you are successful, then I will benefit from your success," a popular follow-up line. In ANY network, the OTHER GUY MUST BENEFIT FIRST. A store must make sacrifices for the customer FIRST (provide a building to shop in, employees to help them, etc.). Any business must make sacrifices to its employees (provide a paycheck, supply a break room, provide uniforms, etc.). The point is that the guy making the money never, ever comes first in the relationship, but he does have a responsiblity to make the first effort.

Great question. As a leader you dont have to know everything but you must be able to lead from the front.

Dont expect your team to do what you are not prepared to do as well.

Set an example- use your tools effectively. A great leadership tool is your daily Versa Point badge. You can only get this by logging in every single day. Your team will see the badge and know that you are serious about your business.

The affiliates will always have a look at your profile to see if you have the qualifications to be their leader so the more achievement badges you have , the better chance you have of motivating them.

If you are a new leader and havent collected many badges, be honest and tell them that you are new as well and want to take them with you to the top. Maintain your leadership page and state your goals so your affiliates can see your progress. Tell them about your successes in the weekly newsletter.

Acknowledge those affiliates who are achieving, everyone loves a pat on the back for a job well done.

Most importantly, when they ask you a question and you dont know the answer, be honest and tell them you will come back to them, give them a time, find the answer and revert back to them within that time.

To sum up - A great leader is a person of action, leads from the front, acknowledges achievement, communicates regularly and effectively with their affiliates and maintains an exemplary work ethic.

Good luck

Successful Leaders in any field know that there is no secret to achieving success. They know it takes hard work and determination to get to where they want to go. Also they dont make excuses not to do the work involved but rather they find reasons to do the work needed to become successful.
Successful leaders are excellent at training and passing on the knowledge they have gained over the years and do what works and don't do what does not work for them.
But the most important thing successful leaders have is strong well thought out goals. To be successful in any endeavor it is vitally important to have strong goals to keep you on track especially when times get tough. Goals help you to stay focused on the end result.Goals need to be written down and read every day without fail. Your goals are your plan for success.
I hope this helps.
I wish you every success with your business

Successful Leaders support their team by answering questions, encouraging and praising their affiliates and offering any kind of assistance they may require.

In summary, Successful Leader is the one that knows and follows the SFI rules of success.

Successful leaders know that there is no secret to being successful. There is only hard work and determination that separate them from the rest. You can expect to be successful, but unless you put forth effort, time, and sometimes money, you will not get very far.

SFI is great about telling you what needs to be done, however, they don't do it for you because you have to do some work yourself. Getting your own website, building a lead list, and being a good sponsor are some of the most highly recommended things because they are the building blocks for your business.

But getting a website doesn't ensure that you will get traffic. You have to drive quality traffic to your website. Building a list doesn't mean that you will get active viewers. You have to give them a reason to follow you. Being a good sponsor doesn't mean your affiliates will be active. You have to show them that this can work for them too.

If you start something, you have to continue it. Buying a website won't get you anywhere unless you put time and effort in it. The top affiliates here at SFI didn't get where they are from sitting around and hoping somebody would sign up from a traffic exchange. They pursued real leads that were actually willing to put effort into SFI as well.

Overall, it's not about what successful leaders know about and do. It is that they DO. They don't sit around and hope. They make that extra effort. They take action.

Hello ! It's a tricky question . since there are many success affiliates they will do different kind of actions in which they are good at . so i will try to explain few among them . The important aim of the affiliate is to have the proper valuable second income . so once they joined they will try the following
1 log in daily and do the things in to -do-list
2 Allocate some time say (>2 hours ) every day for sfi alone
3 Try to learn the different source of income in sfi and all details about sfi
4 choose the best one or more sources opted for them
5 spend 15 to 20 days in learning .patience is must
6 set up a standing order for 1500 vp or more by getting the products from tripleclick.com or buy 125 t-credits .
7 now there are more than 3 ways to earn income
i) Advertise about sfi in many advertising sites (both paid and unpaid), school , colleges, company , and to friends $ relatives . you will be paid for each sign-up
ii) building a own strong downline by getting psa and csa through pricebender auctions
iii) creating a eca store and setting up products and connecting with many more members
iv) win many auctions for low cost and make the downline to follow duplication

if you keep on doing the above steps you can be a succesive affiliate but make sure to be calm and try not to speed up things and end up in nothing

Effective leaders are flexible and teachable.

In regards to your question “What do successful Leaders in SFI know and do?” I observed the successful leaders in my upline are those who have worked this model of Follow, Walk Along Side and Lead. Basically, they followed the recommended Duplication of SFI. They seek ways to understand/learn about their affiliates whom they work with and maintain communication with their downline and are accessible to them. They continue to lead, instead of sitting back and expecting their downline to bring them residual income.

I believe effective leaders know when to follow, when to walk along side and when to lead. This is true for SFI leaders. Majority of successful business leaders followed this model through the building of their careers and establishment of their businesses. Ask a successful business leader if they did it all by themselves and majority will tell you they had a mentor and often others whom they consulted with, before they learned to walk on their own.

Follow: Another way to view this step is to call it Learn. Everyone has to learn in order to become a leader. Ineffective have been the leaders throughout history who have attempted to lead nations without learning the needs of their people. Often when national leaders have not learned and addressed the needs of their people it led to civil unrest and wars resulted. Effective leaders take time to learn about their people, what their needs are, what systems will benefit their people and how they can implement those systems for the benefit of their people. They do this knowing by building their people, they are building themselves.

Walk Along Side: This step can be viewed as the building phase. Beginning with our infancy, we have needed someone to walk along side us as we learned. Once we achieved learning our lessons, we became teachers to others, whether by being examples or literally taking the time to teach another. The most effective way of teaching has always been walking along side the learner. This allows the learner to feel secure in exploring the world around them, while encouraging them to advance in their learning.

Lead: An effective leader will lead with counsel, never force. They recognize the individualism of each person and respect them for who they are. They adjust their teaching/leading style to the needs of their followers, understanding everyone learns in a different way. They allow those who require little guidance to advance as they want, with little interference, while providing necessary assistance to those who request more assistance. Ineffective leaders often will do the work for others or tell them what they are to do. They tend to think for their people and not allow their people the opportunity to explore their own skills and growth. Sadly, this route often stifles the growth of new ideas and therefore, stifles the growth of a business.

These steps are exactly what SFI teaches: Learn about SFI (Follow), and then help other affiliates build their business (Walk Along Side/Lead), which in turn builds your business (Lead). SFI calls this system Duplication.

I broke the steps up in this explanation, but an effective leader will flow through these steps as needed. He or she may be a follower with one affiliate, while walking along side with another affiliate, while leading another affiliate all in the same day. Basically, an effective leader is flexible and teachable.
