This really depends on the kind of relationship you have.

If your relationship is built on respect and trust, then you shouldn't need to convince your life partner.

I say "respect" because you should always respect the needs of your family when investing money in an online business. Only ever invest money that isn't urgently needed for things like mortgage/rent, or to put food on the table, and do your due diligence before you invest. If your partner understands that you have researched SFI carefully, and that you know this is a solid business, there should be no problem with your investment.

As long as you have respected your life partner's needs in the past, there should be no issues with trust.

However, if, in the past, you have put money you couldn't afford to lose into risky investments, and your family has suffered financially because of it, the amount of trust you receive from your partner will be much lower. In this case, you will have to tread more carefully, and probably start out with a very small investment until your life partner realises that - this time - you are being sensible with your money, and you have researched this business carefully. Once you are starting to see a return on your investment, and your partner's trust starts to grow again, you will be in a position to invest more money.

I believe in marriage (or life partnership) that communication is fundamental and a most important part of that relationship. It's not really a matter of 'convincing' them but rather sharing your reasons for why you believe this is the right thing for you to do and then asking them to support you in your decision.

Trust is another basic requirement in your relationship. You have to ask yourself 'why should they trust me in this business opportunity?' We all make mistakes, but if this is the case for you, how have you rectified the problems and have you built up that trust in you again?

Financial stress is one of the biggest factors and causes of friction in relationships. It would be prudent to set some goals, work out a budget, and even give your partner a small presentation of the SFI business & compensation plan and show them this is a long term commitment that you believe in and are prepared to make personal sacrifices for.

I let my husband know almost every day what is happening in my business - the ups and the downs! He is very supportive because he knows my motives for doing it. It is a great comfort to me to know I have his support and encouragement.

This is a great question because support from your partner is important to your success.

I would suggest the following:
*Keep a positive attitude about your business without trying to "force" approval by your partner.

*Contact and seek feedback from your upline. Perhaps you can arrange a conference call with an upline member that has been in the business for a few years, that your partner can sit in on.

*Highlight your successes to your partner. Get a new badge? Reached EA? Win an auction? There are many "little" victories along the way.

*Help them understand that this business is like any business anywhere. It takes an investment of time and money. Does your local mom and pop store owner invest in his/her business?

*Ask him/her to support your dream for 2 years, as a fair trial. Investing in your SFI business is investing in you!

Good luck to you both!

Convincing your life partner that investing in your SFI business Is prudent may take all your power of persuasion depending on your financial and economic status.

If the household money is really tight or if one is dependent on the income of the other,and you have kids, then a subtle and simple explanation may help.

Tell your partner that you need his/her understanding and support that investing in your SFI business by paying for the standing order will help you get your business off the ground. It's only a start but with proper management and budget, your business will grow. Remind your partner how will it be like, and how will he feels if you're financially free. Your enthusiasm and motivation will convince your partner. After all, you're doing it for the benefit of your family.

Or if one is living on disability or age pension, then you have a very good reason to build SFI business. It will not be hard on the pocket if you invest a minimum of $2 for Wave3 kit, for example, with its monthly free stuff, is very prudent.

Finally, once your partner sees how dedicated, committed and hardworking you are to build your SFI business, then every investment you make, no matter how small, will help your SFI business grow, and will make your partner happy and very proud of you.

Convincing your significant other or spouse of the prudence of your SFI investment can be very daunting. I know first hand. I don't try to tell my spouse about my SFI business because I know that she doesn't see what I see. It makes setting a budget difficult because you want to include your spouse or significant other in these types of decisions.

However, you know them and they know you. They know that you have dreams and aspirations that others may call foolish or wishful thinking. The more you play down this fact the better off you will be. It is not for their sake but for your own. If you are looking for validation from those that don't understand then you may quit now because you will not get it.

Moreover your partner should love you enough to want you to give anything worthwhile your best shot. Therefore, you should respect their opinions and love them enough to keep peace between the two of you. Don't invest money that you can not afford into SFI when you already know that it is at risk. The key to being successful with winning over your partner is to meet your current obligations and minimize all of your risks when it comes to your business venture with SFI.

In the end, wisdom is justified of her children and you will be able to see the benefit of your labor if you faint not and also if you follow a plan of action design to adapt and overcome. Naysayers will always doubt until you have proof in the form of your big commission checks. That's when most will agree with you yet even then some just will not ever come around. Don't let it stop you and do what you know is right to keep peace.

The best way to do this is through the products SFI has at TripleClicks.

Find what products are currently being purchased in the household...vitamins, dish detergent, carpet cleaners, floor cleaners, etc.

Find the comparable items in TripleClicks, and begin printing flyers with ingredients for SFI...because, these products, unlike store brands, are more eco-friendly, provide more content such as a higher percentage than the recommended amounts of vitamin and mineral content in vitamins, and beter ingredients in all health foods sold at SFI/TripleClicks.

Also, compare the better prices at SFI/TripleClicks and put them next to some sales flyers at the department stores, and grocery stores, and also write the commissions earned for switching to better quality and more quantity merchandise than store-bought offers.

Show your life partner that for each product purchased donations are made for Care. Here is the TripleClicks ad: "Giving Back

TripleClicks donates a portion of every sale to the international charity CARE."


Show the earnings calculator.

Print out flyers and ask for assistance with passing out "free" flyers, placing "free" ads, show how even "not" spending money helps earn real money.

Show the PPA (Paid Per Action) Program, on ways to earn money without an investment. Then show what each referal earns, long-term, if you chose to keep them on your team, instead of obtaining the short-term income from referring into the PPA program, instead of as a PSA (Personally Sponsored Affiliate), instead.

Show that is is possible to make money without an investment. Also, show how much better it is long-term to invest into the business, even by small purchases you currently make already somewhere else...

Continue to ask for assistance with free advertising, posting business cards, flyers, continue to promote SFI/TripleClicks ads with its eco-friendly ingredients, and better quality items, and lower prices, also show how prices are less with standing-orders, instead of a regular priced order, although still lower priced than store bought, either way.

Make sure to take pictures of items at stores when sold-out, and mention that if it was placed on standing order, there would be no need to worry about store-bought items running out...they would be replenished automatically, each month, and would earn you an even bigger savings on the items, and a higher commission...

Also, if you share your items and low prices at places people share coupons, such as libraries, PTA Meetings, consignment shops, etc...even if you cannot convince your partner...others will see the savings and join your team, and you would earn from their commissions earnings just from your efforts to convince others, not just your partner why it is better to switch to higher quality items, that cost less than store purchased.

Also, make sure your partner sees where you are advertising...use tracking codes to see where people are finding flyers, coupons, and other ads.

In time, your partner will be convinced...but, make sure that you convince others too...and even before making an investment with your own money, your business would be funded by other's purchases, as well.

If you are not ready to invest financially it would be wise to invest in time, and efforts, and build a team of others that can help out financially, and with time, too.

Spend time convincing others, not just your partner. Encourage your partner as one would encourage team members...we can start with family members, but continue to promote to community, as well...

Best wishes
SFI Member

First of all, you should be convinced that investing in your SFI business is good thing to do. Without that, it is not possible to convince anyone. You have to understand the details of SFI business thoroughly and ensure that it is going to give you sufficient earnings for your life without any problem. Only than you can convince your life partner that your decision to work in SFI is good.

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 problems in each family, and need to be resolved wiselys.

As the SFI business needs lot of time to study how things works and it requires lot of dedication towards it. So you may not be available to your partner during that time. It will be good to chose a time when your partner is sleeping or is away from home. This way you may not irritate him/her.

You will not make money overnight. It takes a few months to start making money (till you build a team of EA2s and leaders). You will be required to invest more and learn less, 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.

When your partner is partially convinced tell him/her that SFI has been on the Internet since 1998 and continues till today. That is safe to invest in that business, that you need to stick to it and to learn more and more about it. You have to convince your life partner that your small investment gets multiplied beyond doubt at SFI business. Come to think of it: it doesn't really cost much to grow this business, compared to the amount we waste daily on things we do not need.

Its very important to always rimember that MONEY ISNT EVERYTHIG IN LIFE! IT DOESN T GIVE YOU HAPPINESS. ONLY FAMILY MEMBERS CAN PROVIDE YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS YOU NEED! :)

Hello,

First yourself should get convinced that investing in your SFI business is prudent. Without yourself get convinced, it is not possible to convince your life partner. Therefore, understand the details of SFI business thoroughly and ensure that it is going to give you sufficient earnings for your life without any problem.
