Tips for sponsoring affiliates and duplicating your efforts:

    1. A correct start must include written goals and plans.

    2. Treat your business as a full-time business, and it will become as you want.

    3. Though SFI is one of the few businesses where you can learn and earn at the same time, think of your first six months primarily as a training period. Don't expect large earnings until after you've educated yourself.

    4. Be patient. You'll work the hardest your first six months or so and get compensated the least. Big incomes never happen overnight. They only come after you've properly shown your affiliates how to duplicate your efforts.

    5. Formulate a plan of weekly activity and be persistent in following it — if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

    6. Don't give your affiliates unrealistic expectations.

    7. FOCUS! You cannot become successful in anything when you're trying to do too many things at once.

    8. Don't quit. The only way to fail is if you give up.

    9. Think BIG! Small desire produces small results, just as small fires produce little heat.

   10. Be organized, but don't allow the act of organizing keep you from the most important element of a successful SFI business - MARKETING. Market and promote your business EVERY DAY!

   11. Don't let little problems upset you. Concentrate on the many positives...and the "big picture".

   12. Don't be a negative thinker and don't let the negative attitudes of others (even if they're family members, friends, or peers) influence you. All the great men and women in history had to overcome the naysayers who said it couldn't be done—and then went out and did it. Think for yourself!

  13. Always remember that the only thing that will never change is that there will always be changes. Don't let changes upset you. Know that you will have to deal with changes and other obstacles, both big and small, continually. Be prepared to be flexible.

  14. Read books (such as Conversations with Millionaires, Home based business e-books) that will convince you how powerful your mind really is. Develop the tremendous potential in you (that we all have) that has never been tapped!

  15. Remember always, “IF IT'S TO BE, IT'S UP TO ME."
