That is a very good question. Here are several things that Successful Leaders do:

1. They make sure to understand everything about something that is going on and use that knowledge to help others.

2. They pass on what they know to downline members.

3. They always make sure they are available to help their downline when they need help.

4. They always continue to make improvements in order to tap into the top of success.

5. They learn how to manage their time and plan increments of tasks for utmost success.

6. They always encourage and motivate their team that they lead. More encouragement leads to more success.

Be a leader for your team and not only they would be successful, but you will too.

A question that will be certainly have huge importance to many active and enthusiastic affiliates. As a leader of my team, I understand the following criteria are very important.

1. A leader leads by example. A successful leader knows that the people in his team always follow his actions.

2. A leader must have knowledge about every aspect and products that directly or indirectly related to SFI. He must be able to solve any query cam into his notice from his down lines.

3. Should always share new tricks and tactics with his team. He must understand the growth is completely attached to the growth of his team.

4. Must step forward immediately to help any team member when ever they find any difficulty with SFI.

5. Must circulate any new news or changes happen in SFI as soon as he can. This shows how active is he.

6. He must understand each and every section of compensation plan properly. Because this is a zone where many people get stuck. Once he understands the compensation plan, he can easily plan his roads to success.

Hi Rodel

In answering your question I believe that there is no Holy Grail that the leaders here in SFI are practicing to make them successful. You will be surprised that it's all in the way you do your things in contrast to the way they do theirs.

You have probably come a cross the nugget that states "Successful people don't do different things, they do things Differently."
That statement is so powerful it challenges me to study the lives of successful people and try to emulate them on a daily basis.

Having said that I will use Gery as my role model and example here. There are certain success traits that I have noted he has that are worth following. I will also add some other extras from other leaders.

1. LEADERS MUST HAVE A VISION
Vision is defined as: The ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom. I have observed that every successful leader I have known or come across had a very clear vision about what they wanted to achieve and where they wanted to go. Ask Gery how he came up with this complex system called SFI and I have no doubt he will talk about his Vision. What are your vision about your life or working with SFI for that matter. Where do you see yourself in 5, 10, 20 years from now?

2. THEY HAVE A PLAN
A plan is defined as: a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something.
Do you have a clearly defined plan about what you would like to achieve in SFI? If so do you have it written down on paper? Have you set targets about when you would like to achieve those goals? Do you know what methods/ways you can use to leverage on those goals? If you do then you are on the right track to success.

The late Christopher Reeve once said "If you don't have a vision, nothing happens." Strategic planning is about the future impact of decisions made today, and leaders must have a plan that examines the necessities of today and tomorrow in light of the organization's vision, mission, values and goals. It is not uncommon to find organizations that either don't have a strong strategic plan, or they have a plan that is sitting on a shelf collecting dust. This makes absolutely no sense to me. Leaders must realize that to fully implement change, to satisfy customers, and to promote teamwork from the top to the bottom of the organization, strategic changes must be made that are driven by a clearly articulated vision, mission, and purpose. Once the strategic plan is written, leaders can then take the steps necessary to insure that all stakeholders are in alignment with the strategic plan and that they are moving cohesively in the direction of fulfilling the vision and mission of the company.

3. GROWTH
Someone said: “Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. —Jack Welch
Once you have an idea of your goals and how your environment will affect the outcome, you are ready to maximize your personal and professional growth. Embracing the previous two pillars allows us to better take on the challenges ahead.

4. COMMUNICATION(OPEN LINES)
Now that you have a good idea where you are and where you want to be and are taking steps to get there, it is time to start sharing your knowledge and achievements with others. After all, teamwork makes the dream work and when we reach the point of positively influencing those around us, we are impacting the world we live in on a much larger scale.Be clear on what you are attempting to say and make sure that is what’s being heard. Communication skills need to be atop any growth plan for without those skills, we will be unable to influence others or the outcome. I like this about Gery. He doesn't mince his words. he's communication lines are open, clear and effective.

5. LEADERS MUST BE DEVOTED TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
So many business leaders of today see leadership development as "fluff" and "soft" but the truth of the matter is that leadership development can improve bottom line profits and productivity. By listening to an employee who is on the front line, and acknowledging her value, a leader can create loyal internal customers and can bring innovative ideas to the table which can grow a company by leaps and bounds. By strengthening team communication, a leader can create a sense of purpose, loyalty, and long-term commitment to the organization. One thing to know about leadership development is this: Leaders must not ask her followers to do what she is not willing to do. And I will say it again that Gery has passed the litmus test and exemplified that to all of us here at SFI.

6.LEADERS MUST BE WILLING TO SHOW THEIR TEAM/DOWN-LINE THAT THEY GENUINELY LOVE AND CARE FOR THEM
There is one truth in life that I firmly believe: With the showing of love and concern, people begin to feel wonderful and more worthy, and their productivity will triple in an environment that is loving.People will do business with people they like, and this "Love Cat" way of doing business often strikes an uncomfortable chord with leaders who are insecure about their own abilities or who view a show of love, empathy, and compassion as a sign of weakness. People have to know on a very deep level that their leaders care about them, their future, and their growth. I have often times seen Gery despite he's busy schedule in the Forum with us chatting and answering questions.
He also recently donated to charity in the Philippines to the flood victims. Who wouldn't want to do business with that kind of leader? Now that's my kind of leader. Try and emulate the care aspect of leadership and pass in on to your team. they will love you for it and give back.

7. LEADERS ARE DILIGENT HARD WORKERS
There is a lesson I learned years back. It's one my favorite books. It says- "Go to the ant Thou Sluggard consider her ways and be wise which having no God overseer or ruler gathereth her meet in the summer and and provideth her food in the harvest" This book tells us to go and learn a lesson from the ant. Why? Because if you observe the ant keenly it's simply fascinating watching them work so hard day in day out without pulling ropes until the job is done. I believe Gery got this far because of this virtue.

This is a general overview of what I know any sucessful leader is doing to succeed. They are not limited or bound by time or place. They work everywhere with anyone who want to become a successful leader.

I hope you found this helpful.

This is an excellent question for all affiliates to consider.

Successful leaders in SFI lead by keeping their purpose clear. The clarity of a leader's why take part in SFI is key as this clarity is then shared with not only down-line team members but also with those who wish to become members of the TripleClick Store too.

Successful leaders are knowledge workers who take the initiative to share with others what he/she has found helpful for their business growth. As a knowledge worker, it is part of the work to distribute the knowledge of what has worked and also what has not worked so as to support fellow affiliates to pursue strategies that are helpful to their growth and learning as well.

Leaders that are successful with SFI also need to be students too. Leaders are simply doing what other affiliates do too which is seek out opportunities to learn from. This simply means having the right attitude to being open to new ways of thinking and open to understanding how others see our global economy.

Successful SFI Leaders have a common focus -"How May I Best Serve".

Successful leaders in SFI know that they should build their team. In order to build their team they:
1. Advertise - Whether leaders use paid or free advertising, this gives them a chance to recruit new affiliates who will in turn emulate and duplicate their actions thus helping the leader to become successful.

2. Communicate - A successful leader always communicates with his team. In SFI there are so many channels of communication which can help to enhance the relationship between a leader and his team.

Lead by example - A successful leader will ensure that he sets a good example for his team. He will log in everyday and get tasks done.He will also be there for his team, whenever they are in need of help.

in order to be a sucessful SFI leader.....

rule number one: speak in complete confidence about what you do, you cannot be timid or shy...for starters, inorder to be convincing about sponsoring this program, you need to sound like your a hundred percent convinced....naturally, people will be alot more interested this way.

rule number two: real leaders do not just recruit affiliates, they sit and train them....every month, i get around 3 new PSA's, not because I cannot get more, but because I'd like to sit with them, teach them how to present the plan, what to do what not to do. until they feel they are ready to handle their own networks....then i become their reference for advice while i watch that network grow beautifully.

rule number three: i personally love motivating being based on my won improvments, and the numbers on my scoreboard...i always remind my downlines that they will make what they work for.

most importantly, the first thing i tell people, and i emphasize on is that, SFI is just like any other business, with the oportunity to invest alot less capital than regular businesses. Inorder to be sucessful, you must be PATIENT!!!!!, you must build your network correctly and passionatly, and naturally the commisions will begin to kick in....it is however NOT!!! a magic potion for money, NOT!! a get rich quick scheme and definitely, without any work what so ever (unless you get extremely lucky with S-builders) you will get no where.

PS: never accept people to continuously be negative, i eventually use it against them with a "its in your character to be a negative person, it will reflect terribly on your life in general"

apply these rules correctly, and you too will be a great leader. and remember, the job here is a very very very simple one, but its not very easy.....it's not. Make sure your downlines are prepared for it....1000's of dollars a week do not appear by magic

This is a great question: What do successful Leaders in SFI know and do?

Read and Learn!! Then start Applying what you Learn!

You do not have to apply everything at first. Just start out doing what you feel comfortable doing at first, then gradually add one more thing, then add another and so on. Before you know it, you are doing all different types of actions that are going to lead you to one more step closer to success.

Read all of the information on all of your To-Do list pages. Including the Alerts page.

Read all of the training materials, (everything listed in the Training tab -- https://www.sfimg.com/Training/ ), and all of the marketing materials that are available for each and everyone of us.

It all depends upon how much you apply yourself to be willing to learn all that you can.

Read all of the training and marketing materials more then once.

By doing so, it just seems like another "click to a light bulb" that comes to the surface with something new. You will be surprised what you did not pick-up on the first time around.

Read the Forum and Ask SC, the experience and knowledge from so many other affiliates is well worth the time to spend reading.

It will open up new doors for you and not to mention, start to get you to think outside of your "Box" with new creative ideas that you would have never of thought of on your own.

The learning must never stop. Continue to learn what you can outside of SFI also.

Learn new techniques in both advertising and marketing and also in leadership.

Always be available for your downline. Because by you helping your downline, you are helping both them and yourself to working towards success.

Answer their questions to the very best of your ability. If you do not have the answer right away, let them know that you will get back to them as soon as you can. Do the research necessary to find the answer and then remember to get back to them.

Share!! Don't be afraid to share information or techniques or make suggestions with your downline and also with anyone else.

You do not have to share your secrets to your "Fishing Hole", but maybe make some suggestions that could be helpful for others to be able to find their own way to find their own "Fishing Hole".

Be Helpful!! If someone needs a helping hand, reach out and offer your help to the best of your ability. You have nothing at all to lose by helping someone else.

By helping others, you are also helping yourself by maybe learning something new by researching what someone else needs help with.

You will be amazed by how much more you can learn just by helping someone else.

Do not be afraid to admit when you have made a mistake and to share that mistake with others so they do not make the same mistake.

Making mistakes can be our best teacher, as long as we learn from those mistakes.

You should create Goals to reach for, to help you to get to where you want to go.

Make them realistic and also within your reach.

Create a Plan for each one of your goals to help you to achieve that goal.

It is very important to Advertise. If you do not advertise, the world will not know that you are in business.

Try to make one of your goals to gain 5 PSAs a month.

Create a plan to do at least one hour a day advertising your business.

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. -- John Quincy Adams"

Successful leaders spend time learning all they need to know about success in online business, they don't just read SFI material but they also go into IAHBE and go over as many material as they can they also know how to shop wisely for products on TripleClicks that they know will help them to make money and much more for example they look for ebooks about succeeding on SFI, or ebooks about duplication or written secrets of an affiliate who learned something really mindblowing in order to really make money ok you get the point. On Triple Clicks they also know how to find Marketing materials to buy, cards, promo pages, custom websites, t shirts etc....


In summary, a leader knows what materials to read, what to buy on TC, and know how to duplicate( the most powerful weapon)

A successful leader does not just collect points everyday but they really dig deep into each red tab and spend time fishing out the hidden treasures just like and archaeologist excavating a site.

Getting overwhelmed is also something leaders know way to well because I am a leader myself so what they do is that they do not try to read too much information in to little time instead they chip away a little at a time hence that is what I am doing on SFI and Iahbe and on TC.

An important thing about a leader is to always think about the success of thier downline first, it is ok for them to think about their own success but they know the fact that their success depends not only on their own hard work but on the work of their downline so they know how important it is to educate their downline and share their success with them so that they to can appy it and succeed.
