Hey, this is a tricky one!

You're right, couples don't always share the same opinions or beliefs. Your engagement in a program like this one may alarm your better half, out of the fear of losing money.

Like in any other spousal dispute, you need to remember vows about sharing good and bad. That includes money, as well. So, how can you convince your partner that investing in SFI is prudent? Let him/her take a look, sit by your side while you're doing your tasks and reading the

Hi Petru

I see many answers here that are not looking at the fact it is your life partner we're talking about. You cannot treat your friends and family like customers. The best way to get a family member or close friend involved is to show them how successful you are doing. If they want to invest in you or in SFI & TripleClicks in their own right, I'm sure they will once they've seen that you are flourishing.

However, they may not want to take the same route as you and may

The best way to convince your life partner that investing in SFI is prudent is by showing him/her the progress you are making in your business and the income you are earning from it.

Some people are so skeptical about online marketing businesses, so the best way to get your partner to play along with you is when he/she has seen the income you are earning from it.

So I will advise you to continue to invest and grow your business and when it is successful, you can then

Hello,

To be quite honest with your question, I can truly say that I don't have a life partner as of yet, but I can tell you that you can mention of all the "free" stuff that you can do on SFI followed by the stuff that you can invest in order to be truly successful.

You can give them a little tour of your SFI site and show them your scoreboard as to how you are doing in this business. Basically, the focus of SFI is to build your team roster with a lot of active members

As far as convincing my husband that investing in SFI is prudent, I have to be honest - I have not and do not plan to do any convincing. I've learned from my many business ventures in the past that I should not have to convince, but only show that I can do this. Some people just won't "budge" no matter how much you tell them or show them the ropes - they have to see that it is working.
I am actually starting to do well, and once I have met a few more of my goals, then I will show

I have had this problem with my husband for many years now. We have spent so much money on other so called opportunities that he just didn't want to try it with SFI. Because of this I actually failed twice at SFI. This is my third time trying. So, what has changed to make me try it again? I went out and got one of those things they call a job. So now I have my own money; money that my husband can't tell me what to do with. So you might give that a try.

If getting a job to help pay your

I showed my partner the savings available at Pricebenders Auctions and on TripleClicks. Then, I showed her some scenarios in the compensation plan about how easy it would be to earn a little extra income. Even an extra $400 or $500 would make a difference each month. I also pointed out that it is free to join and there's no monetary commitment except what you can afford to spend to run your SFI business. For more credibility, I pointed out that SFI has been in business a long time and is a member

This is a tricky question. Convincing your spouse about investing in SFI or failing to do so, depends upon so many factors like your inter-relationship, the trust and confidence you enjoy with each other, your family resources, your spouse's innate faith in online selling etc.

Basically, I can tell you about my own experience over the past one year I have been in SFI. At first, skeptisicm for the first 3 or 4 months, followed by a grudging acceptance in the next 4 months when I started

My personal experience in getting your partner involved in your new adventure, is get her /him involved in your daily to-do list so they are able to see your vp points increase as you move up the ladder.
Also let them give you advice on your goal settings so they feel that they are apart of you plans and they can see and understand where you are and where you want to go with the new venture.
Show them your scoreboard daily so they can also see how your venture is improving as time goes

Here's what I did:

I went to TripleClicks, selected DEALS, and then selected SHOW ALL CLOSEOUTS. I then asked my wife to take a look at the screen and help me order something for her, just because I love her.

When she saw the products, the prices and the huge discounts on offer, she was delighted.

After that I just had to answer her questions; she wanted to listen to all I had to say about TripleClicks and SFI, Pricebender Auctions, TCredits, MRP etc etc.
