"The proof the pudding is in eating it". The best way to convince your partner to invest in SFI is to show the benefit it accrues. If you already are somebody who has run the business over a reasonable period of time then perhaps showing the following will help convince him/her:

1. Credibility - Give a tour of SFI to establish the credibility of the business.
2. Community - show the SFI community - Forum, support, affiliates etc. Show healthy the community is.
3. Platform - To show the enormity of investment done by SFI. It not only establishes credibility but also shows commitment, seriousness in doing business
4. Fair play - Show some examples of fair pay. How auctions are controlled through rules to benefit all -1st win, Junior etc.
5. Duplication - The effect of duplication. Showing some working would help.
6. Triple Clicks - How SFI business is well blended with E-commerce
7. Price benders- Showing the exciting side of penny auctions.

Last but not the least how it gives you a sense of ownership and self worth that we as human beings die for.

Good luck,

Cheers & Merry Christmas :-)

It could be difficult if your spouse does not understand what you are or have been busy with.
At first, when I joined SFI, it was MY TIME and MY BUSINESS, my time of dedication and learning.
Have patience , work diligently, and the fruits of your labor will bear in season.
Explain to your spouse the benefits of SFI, of having a residual income. You will be receiving an income while being on holiday, or having the ability to be able to work from home.
Most important, explain that this is not a get rich quick scheme, although, I feel that once you have your own products to sell in your business at TripleClicks, this will boost your income , and you should start receiving your commissions much faster than somebody who wants to work as an affiliate on a low budget.
Because I hold a full time job, I am able to spend my evening times working on my SFI program, I have the full support of my husband and my family, although my husband mentioned to me that he still does not know what I am doing and what it is all about?
Time and dedication will pay off for you and you will be able to prove yourself to your spouse that this is the best thing that could come into your life.
Keep going, stay strong, stay positive and never give up.

Hi…Happy Holidays!!!

NEVER convince anyone to believe in whatever you do and NEVER ever please anyone in anything you do. If you do…? Failure is apparent…

We have a saying that goes…”Action Speaks Louder Than Words”…

Just do what you have to do and think is right to succeed. When they see you successful…you don’t have to say or do anything to convince anyone of your success. They have their eyes to see what you did and they (including your family) can’t deny that.

Have a sound plan to NOT fail. Learn as much as you can to achieve your goals. Help your downline Affiliates and work hard…you cannot expect success if you do not work hard for it. And always believe in what you do. How could you expect others to believe you when you yourself doubt it???

Here’s to your success and enjoy the rest of the Holiday Season…GOOD LUCK!!!

Well, this is the most difficult task each one of SFI Affiliate faces some time or the other during his/her SFI business. There may be different situations in each family, and needs to be tackled accordingly.

Situation 1.
As the SFI business needs lot of time to study it in entirety and therefore requires lot of dedication towards it. So one may not be available to his/her partner during that time. So chose a time when your partner is sleeping or is away on other work. This way you may not irritate him/her.

Situation 2.
You will not make money for lets say some months till you build a team of EA2s and leaders. You will be required to invest more and learn less, thereby losing a considerable money for all these months. Your partner will become fed up with you if your financial position is already bad. Try to convince him/her that you are ready to cut down equal amount of money on some unnecessary habits like smoking, drinking going to movies, parties etc.

Situation 3
Where your partner is partially convinced tell him/her that SFI has been on the Internet since 1998 and continues till today. Only one needs to stick to it. Learn more & more about it. Purchase the books on “Successful SFI Leaders” & show to him/her
2. Print out the list of ECAs in your country & show it to him/her
3. You can also show any appreciation, rewards or letter/mail of thanks you may have received from your downline/upline.
4. Constantly show your progress on your Genealogy page & “Movers page”

5 But if you are not making any progress even after one year(Although You Will Make a Good Amount of Money only after 3 years), that indicates your slackness. You need to work more.study more, learn more and advertise your SFI business more before convincing your partner.

Remember money is not everything in life. It does not give you happiness. But your family members can provide you all the happiness you need.

Hope it makes some sense & helps

As we all know most other network marketing companies have been a target of criticisms as well as lawsuits in past years. This and/or other reasons make it even more difficult to convince your partner and others, the importance investing in your SFI business.

Before investing any funds, it is important to inform and agree with your partner on a budget requirement for your SFI business. Whether he/she agrees, it is truly up to you to decide how important your involvement or investment is towards your SFI business. You will therefore need to convince your partner that SFI is a real business and being involved in SFI comes with it great benefits. One benefit includes ability to have your own business. We all know SFI provides great infrastructure and training, as well as opportunity to earn unlimited residual income.

Since all of us are different in our own ways and look at life from a different perspective, you will have to acknowledge that not everyone will understand and appreciate the benefits and opportunities for having your own SFI business. It is essential that you must do things that make sense to you, rather listening to others who do not understand your goals and plans.

When a mind of an individual has been made up it can be very difficult to change the mindset to accept a different ideology or perceptions, especially for those who do not understand or refuse to accept benefits relating to yours SFI business. Once we acknowledge this point, my advice would therefore be to continue investing time and money towards your SFI business provided that you have a sound plan as far as your budget is concerned. Upon starting to receive your residual income from your SFI business, anybody in their right mind would be convinced that SFI is a real business and affiliates do actually make residual income from it.

All relationships are unique so this is a challenging question! The best I can do is speak from personal experience in that my spouse was not that supportive when I started my business many years ago. Here's what worked for me:

1) We discussed me being able to devote a set amount of time to the business.

2) We discussed me being able to invest a certain amount of money into the business.

3) I then made a decision to convince my spouse with "results" as she's something of a visual person

4) I made inquires into what I would need to focus on to produce "results" which for me turned out to be lead generation.

5) I took massive action, used leverage and was profitable in a few months. She was now 50% convinced!

6) As my successes and income increased I shared them with my spouse with lots of excitement. She became 75% convinced!

7) One day I announced that my spouse could quit her job and be an at-home Mom if she desired. She was now 100% convinced!

I would say that at first all we have are words, but if we focus on massive action we can then allow the results to do the convincing.

If you're speaking about them maybe not being into what you're doing and not understanding why you're investing of your time and money, it can be difficult,
especially if they've never heard of internet marketing.

And in the early months, it can be even more difficult because you more than likely aren't earning a huge amount of money because you're still building your downline and
may be spending more than you're earning at first.

I tried to present it to my partner in a way that he could understand and that's a brick and mortar business. When you compare SFI to a "regular" business, there's no overhead, you're not having to replenish products, (unless you want to) and you don't have to deal with hiring and firing employees, there's no office furniture or rent to pay, plus there are tax breaks with a home based business that you can't get with any other business, or even with a job, because you can itemize your computer, your printer, fax machine or anything else including printer paper, phone, and even part of your utilities and gas for your car if you drive to get business supplies.

The benefits are enormous, and the rewards can be huge. But at first there may not be any profit whatsoever, but guess what? A brick and mortar business NORMALLY takes up to two YEARS to be in profit. You can be in profit in your first month with SFI.

If your partner still doesn't get it, just be patient and give her time. My late husband was always telling me I was never going to make it in business but he changed his tune the first time I was able to pay for Christmas for the entire family with my online earnings. So she will come around too.
