The answer to this question all depends on how you define success. The fact that you are part of SFI and have been a member so long makes you a success story, already!
There are some people that will never be able to be self-employed, because they do not even know about SFI. However, YOU do know all about SFI.
Ask yourself why you are a member of SFI? What attracted you to start your own journey in SFI? Share your story with others. Do not tell them because you wish them to become members...they may not be ready, but they may know others that may be interested in SFI. Ask for referrals.
Tell others about the gift card, and offer them a FREE gift card if they can tell you 10 people that would be interested in SFI...even if they personally are not ready to be members. But, if they refer 10 members and get a FREE gift card that is redeemed at YOUR store...even if they are telling you they are not interested or not ready...the gift card will make them still shop and spend money at your store. What if there is not enough money on the gift card? They will want to buy the merchandise, anyways...and either they will find a way to get more money for the products, or ask you for another gift card and provide you with 10 more referrals.
Even people without computers may have a SFI account. Computers are at coffee shops, libraries, book stores, college campus, and even on a cell phone there is internet access.
Also, you may advertise SFI over the Internet. There are places to put FREE classified ads, and post ads for free newsletters that invite people to your SFI website. You may even use traffic referral pages or exchange website links with others. Flyers on cars also help. If they have a car...they can get a Wave3 Flyer and eventually put a sticker on their car. Where there is a car there is a new Wave3 Member, potentially.
The fact that YOU live in Africa and are successfully an active member of SFI that is asking the right question in the right places...proves that you already have what it takes to be successful at SFI...and you are currently leading by example. You have no limits. You may set goals and achieve them for yourself. There is nothing stopping you, except for yourself, and your self-doubts.
Set little goals for yourself, then as you achieve them, set greater goals. For instance, tell yourself you will give away 10 flyers, business cards, or gift cards each day...or at least approach 10 people with your business opportunity each day. Keep track of who you approached and get contact information and ask for a good time to follow-up with each person you contact, then successfully follow-up.
Do not judge anyone. The person that does not have the expensive car or the business clothes may be the one that needs SFI to help them make the income they need to lead a better lifestyle. You are selling them the income opportunity. Everyone wants to make money, win prizes, learn for FREE, and a better lifestyle.
Share your success story with others, and let them know why you became a member of SFI. Did anything hold you back? Chances are that others will find a way to join SFI, and we all know the business start-up costs do NOT hold others back...because, it is FREE to join.
Instead of asking "How can I become successful in SFI?" You can ask yourself how can you not be successful? Some SFI members are not even at a high enough level in SFI to be able to submit questions, and you are. You must be at least EA2 to submit questions. So the fact that you are able to submit questions in the SC section proves you are successful.
Be a great leader. Also, read about being a great leader. There are many SFI articles and other online eBooks, and writings about how to lead by example. Tell others how you got the high leadership position that you have. What inspires you to be a member of SFI such a long time. People will wish to learn about SFI on their own, by watching you as successful as you are, even in Africa...or anywhere you may live.
You are your own success story...you already are successful in SFI. Others quit, or did not even take the time to advance to the level you are. They will now look to you for advice. If you lived somewhere else, why would this make you more successful, do you think? Would it really make a difference where you live? Life is what you make of it. You also define success. Some people work 9am until 5pm and make minimum wage, and consider themselves successful. Others make more money than them and work less hours, and they too think they are successful. Some people are retired and do not work at all, and consider themselves successful. Others may be the richest people in the world, but may not even have any friends, and although those without lots of money may view them as successful, they may think of themselves as failures in life, because in their eyes, money comes easy to them, but they are sad and lonely...yet, if we were in their shoes we would define success by the amount of money we make, maybe. Success is really dependant on how we define success.
Someone that did not make it to leadership in SFI will want to know why you ask "How can I become successful?" The same as someone that is not rich will wonder why a billionaire is not always happy. It really depends on your outlook in life, and your description of SFI.
If you start off with little goals, after you start achieving these goals...you will start to feel successful, and maybe soon you will realize how successful you really are. Start by telling 10 people a day about SFI, and getting their contact information, and stay in touch with these people and let them know you are a successful leader in SFI and will be there to answer the questions. Then direct them to the FREE Online LaunchPad training...where they can find all the answers to their questions, and even earn VP, cash, and prizes while they get all their questions answered for free.
Also, congrats on your leadership in SFI, you are so successful, already, and just needed someone to tell you this. You would be successful no matter where you live...
You are amazing, and can do anything you want to do in life. Just set goals and achieve them one day at a time.
Have a great day, filled with a successful today, and a bright future. Never stop learning all there is to know about SFI, and share your success story.
If you do not have anyone in Africa that is interested in SFI, just know this only means you are the ONLY one in Africa that has a success story to share...
After sharing your success story with at least 10 people daily, you may even realize more people starting to grow and be inspired to learn to be just as successful as you are in SFI...I only wished you realized your success. You have something not everyone else has...you have a position as a leader in SFI, and everyone wants to follow a successful leader, such as yourself. Africa needs great successful leaders like you...and more of them...so, please build a strong team of business friends. Do not hold them back, by not sharing your success, do not judge who you wish to share your success with.
I wish you well in your journey!
