SFI is a network marketing business. Your main objective is to help and assist others in building their own SFI business. One of the important things to remember is, you are in a real business with SFI, you no longer have a boss holding you accountable. Your network marketing success or failure is dependent upon you and your actions.

Personal limitations and roadblocks can get in the way of reaching your goal with SFI. Realizing that there will likely be obstacles along the path to your goal with SFI makes it easier to plan for, overcome or avoid them.

You need to evaluate yourself to identify your personal limitations and roadblocks in venturing SFI. Personal limitations and roadblocks are two forms of obstacles. A roadblock is an obstacle which you have the power to control. Many roadblocks are very real and cannot be changed or removed - these are called limitations.

It is important for you to decide whether the roadblock is a true limitation, something that you are unable to change, or not. Accepting any limitations requires you to be really honest with yourself and you may need to adjust your goal accordingly. Don't waste energy on things you can't change at the time.

Before you can eliminate a roadblock, you have to identify them. You are responsible for directing your own life and solving your own problems. Once you take responsibility for the roadblock, you will be able to think of ways to get around it. Often people give up in SFI for the wrong reasons, usually fear or anxiety. Everyone has anxieties. This is a normal part of setting goals and trying to reach them. It becomes very important to find a way to overcome the feelings you experience when you are anxious.

Identifying your personal limitations and roadblocks can help you plan ways to deal with them. Personal limitations and roadblocks can come in the following form: attitude, fear/anxiety, procrastination, low self-esteem/confidence, difficulty in communicating, lack of drive, lack of skills, etc.

How to overcome your personal limitations and roadblocks?

- Identify your personal limitations and roadblocks.

- Find out what you can do about it.

- Think of as many possible solutions as you can.

- Choose the best one for you.

- Write down your plan.

- Set a realistic time frame.

- Take action.

SFI provides you the means and the opportunity to develop and grow - in the highest possible level of owning your SFI business. You alone can conquer your obstacles and bring success into your SFI business.

Don’t just be a provider for fun and excitement, but rather focus on being an enabler of opportunities for your team to intensify their participation level in growing their SFI business as well as to having fun with TripleClicks’ EZ games. Be creative and make it easier for them to participate.

- Be sensitive to your team’s needs.

The only way you’re going to know what your team needs from you is to listen to them. Often times by simply listening will help you identify ways you can provide what is needed to help them out in their challenges. By doing this and by being sensitive to their needs, you’re creating in them an experience of increased satisfaction in growing their SFI business as well as creating team cohesiveness.

Each of your team members is unique, and they're likely to be motivated by different things. For example, one person might crave recognition from you and feel more valued in your organization, while another might prefer TCredits or Gift Certificate.

Start thinking about what motivates your team. Communicate to your team members to find out what they value. Possible motivators could include TCredits, Gift Certificates, and Reassignment of PSAs and recently CSAs, offering a share in your Ad co-op, etc.

Make sure that you provide your team members with appropriate compensation. Are they happy with the way that pay is structured? And, do they feel that it's fair and balanced, especially if it's based on performance? Discuss this with your team members in private, and address any concerns that they have honestly.

- Create competition.

Take advantage of your team members' natural competitiveness, and encourage healthy competition as a way to engage your team members, boost morale, and make SFI more fun. Competitions are also excellent for improving performance.

Focus the contest on a strategic business goal that you all need to meet. Devote a wall in your Facebook page to the competition, and post news about wins, display real-time updates and standings, and celebrate achievements.

To make the competition interesting and valuable, offer a small prize or reward. Ask your team members what they would like to receive, or use your own judgment to come up with something creative.

- Recognize Achievements.

One of the best ways to motivate your team members is to recognize their achievements on a regular basis.
Praising your team members could be as simple as sending an E card, posting your congratulations on Stream Posts or posting it on SFI Forum when they reach their goals.

Recognition from you is a powerful motivator, but it can be equally as valuable when it comes from fellow team members. Encourage everyone on your team to become champions of one another's success. Ask your team members to praise their peers, and to notify you when they see them achieve a win. This way, you can collectively recognize their efforts, which will build morale and strengthen relationships.
