With my wife it didn't take much convincing. If you own a business of any type an investment in its growth is vital. A Home business is no less a real business. It requires a license and a place to work. It requires effort and learning, and will take time. It requires advertising and someone has to make a sale for the owners to take profits. There is NO Difference in a Home Business and any other venture beyond the fact that we require less initial capital outlay and have lower risk should failure

Actions speak louder than words.

Yes, you want your life partner to be a part of your dream with SFI but if they have never experienced success with an online or any other business endeavor, more than likely they will be unable to see the possibilities and opportunities that SFI has to offer.

What do you do?

Build your business and show him or her the progress as you go. Teach them what you are learning and slowly when they see that the business is growing they

Great question.

It is also very difficult to question to answer and not one with a single answer as everyone's situation is unique. To one person an answer may be a great solution, but to the another person, it could be quite the opposite.

In general, however, you should not convince anyone and should not have to convince anyone to do anything. Especially, when your finances are in question. If your objective is to sway someone to agree with you that investing in SFI is

Great question! I didn't even tell my husband I was trying this business until I had worked at it for two months! There are so many scams out there, I wanted to be sure this opportunity was legitamate and that I fully understood it before I talked to him about it!

I set a budget of $50 per month anf stuck with it. That way, the impact on our expenses was minimal. Since he buys lots of things on eBay, the basic concept of TripleClicks was easy. I even gave him a gift card so that he

Hello,

Your life partner like many other people have traditionally known and gotten used to earning money by exchanging their time, energy or even more money itself. This they have to do everyday. The day they don't work, they don't earn. There is no employer who would wait for an employee on a long sick leave!

SFI is one business that rewards you like you wrote a book or produced a song. Whenever a copy of your book is sold or your song downloaded or bought from a store, you

This is exactly what I went through before I started my SFI business.
My partner knew I joined because of sentimental reasons (long story) but he didn't trust SFI enough.
We googled and researched SFI and the results only made him dislike SFI even more.
BUT! The one thing that stood out no doubt was the fact that affiliates had access to a wealth of training material for FREE.So my partner agreed that I could join on the condition that I learn about SFI and Internet Marketing. Understand

You can show him/her:

1. How the program exactly works (basics and what can you get from it)
2. Other people testimonials,
3. Other members success examples such as the ones in your upline list or show power ranking lists as well
4. Introduce him/her with the ECA program

This would be enough for start and if he/she decides to become a member, give further directions as a sponsor.

The point is to tell him/her that there is a way to succeed without investing

It's not about convincing ... It's about proving this fact.

Firstly, you should work hard so you'll reach to a point where you can see Successful Result before you get "anyone" involved.

A lot of people need to see to believe ...so you need to show your partner that your SFI business is prudent rather than tell your partner.

If your partner see that you are involved in a successful business, there will be no need for convincing anymore.

Remember

Hello Petru
Interesting question.I can relate as I had the same problem until I ended up in hospital for 7 days! With no laptop to help me do my work every day, I asked my hubby to help out, which he did with my guidance by cell phone, on how to do the work.
The 'Ask SC' section made the biggest impact on him, as he read all the questions and answers. By doing this, he came to the realization and a greater understanding of how SFI and Triple Clicks works.
My hubby is now much more

In my opinion, maybe it depends upon the situation and the experience that both of you have. In my case I am an internet marketer for almost three years and besides being a forex trader, and a networker for more than 5 years I am also working with my profession, I failed so many times. But when I found SFI my life change I study it and discuss to my partner what I have learned, I sometimes let my partner read ASK SC while I am earning my VP’s and also in the Forum I always share it to my partner
