TEAM BUILDING TIP

Hey, Team Leaders, here’s a great tip to help you grow your group and get your members more active.  Piggybacking!  That is, we strongly encourage you to run your own contest concurrently with our UNSTOPPABLE contest.
While we’re running OUR corporate contest, you can be running, at the same time, YOUR contest with your own prizes and recognition.  In doing so, you’ll help us get more people involved in our contest…and we’ll help you get more of your members active and in yours!  Meanwhile, everyone entering gets more opportunities to win prizes and recognition.  An awesome win/win/win for all!
We will post at the end of each month (after commissions are processed), a list of the top 100 finishers.  Hence, we recommend that you design your contest to award prizes/recognition for coming in first, second, third…and/or in the top ten, top 20, top 50, and/or top 100.

Fear will keep you broke, Action will bring your success.

I have something very important that I think needs to be read here. Especially those of you who are just breaking into the business.
I can't tell you how many people I know finally start their biz online however, they delay on taking action and getting that business seen and moving. They hold back. They make excuses to themselves.
When I ask why they are not moving forward, many come up with tons of excuses but the one that is most used to "mask the fear" of actually taking action and starting, is the fact that they are studying and wanting to make everything perfect and then they will head out of the gate. This is the biggest mistake anyone can make!
What's really going on in a lot of cases is people are "afraid" of failing.
They are afraid of "not doing it right" the first time. So instead of just getting out there and doing it anyways, they just spend countless hours and days and even months and yes, I know someone who has been waiting to start for over 2 years, before taking any action.
People are so afraid to fail. Understand this, and this is VERY IMPORTANT.
When you take no action at all, you have already failed. Period.
That may sound harsh but it's the truth. While people are spending time studying and watching videos and reading, others who have never done this before are running out of the gate with a "Screw it let's do it and see what happens" attitude hahah
This is the correct way to start a biz. No matter what, each and every one of us WILL make mistakes but it's only by making them can we sit back and learn a new approach until we start getting results.
If you are not doing anything, then your business will go nowhere because nobody is seeing it.
It's so OKAY to make mistakes. It's AWESOME to make mistakes.
For each mistake you encounter, you are one step closer to mastering what DOES WORK and that my friends is how we learn.
Please take the time to read this article. It may help you overcome that first obstacle in your new business, just taking action.


Fear will keep you broke, Action will bring your success.

I LOVE YOU ALL! STAY BLESSED

How to get people to give you their email


If you have been with SFI long enough you have gotten some fake name and emails. No one can make a person give a REAL email address. 

People opt-in to SFI (or any other biz opp that's like SFI) to see what's on the "other" side; people want to see what SFI is all about. There is no incentive for a person to give a real address if they're only curious about SFI.

What you can do is this...

Create your own landing pages and offer something of value to your prospects - but don't give it to them until they've verified their email address. Tell your leads the benefit to staying on your list (you have contests, give out money-making strategies, tips, etc...). The prospect has to see the benefit of providing a real email and staying on your list to begin with. You can also give away something for free like this report I give away for FREE! 

With that said, it is better that you create your own landing page, and collect the names/emails of those prospects before sending them on to SFI.

And tracking down people on social media who didn't give you their real email address is a waste of time and frankly quite silly.

Spend your time on people who are serious...serious enough to give you their real email address and name.

Is my SFI business transferable to family member?

Hi everyone,

Did you know you can transfer your SFI business to a family member if you pass away? Yes you can! I don't know of any other business that has this as part of the affiliate agreement. This is great for your family as they will still be able to receive commissions on your past work. Below is where you can find this information in the back office. 

From the Affiliate Agreement:

41. Transferability of SFI Affiliateship: In the event of an Affiliate's death, SFI will keep sending commissions in the method that's been selected on the affiliate's account. For example, if the affiliate had chosen to have his or her commission mailed by check, the affiliate's surviving spouse or other representative must ensure they have the legal right to cash a check made out to the name on the SFI account. However, surviving spouses and representatives can also log onto the affiliate's account and make the necessary adjustments to the account name and information. IMPORTANT: surviving spouses and representatives must have account login information. SFI will not provide that information. Note that, other than this particular exception, logging into any SFI account other than your own is strictly prohibited.

You can visit this link:  www.sfimg.com/Reference/AffiliateAgreement for more information on the affiliate agreement it is good to read over this every so often to make sure you are not violating your affiliate agreement.
