For me it would be any product that I am passionately interested in, familiar with, knowledgeable about and know will benefit the recipient. You also have the option of doing market research to see how well any of the products you are most passionate about are doing. You might even be providing someone with a product or service that they could not find anywhere else. And make sure the price is right because you don't want your prospective customers informing you that they can get the same for much

Before computers and complex software programs were developed to assist us in communicating across language barriers this would have been a greater challenge. But today, No! We have the ability to communicate like never before. SFI is a Global Marketing Enterprise and no one should ever be excluded for not being able to speak or read in English.

Early in your Welcome Letter to your new PSAs or CSAs you should introduce the Google Translation link.

I am uncertain what you had in mind when you say personal SFI Website. The Member TConnect or ECA TConnect does not allow you the flexibility that a personal website does. ECAs are not following SFI rules when they advertise more than just their ECA business from their ECA TConnect Page. If you are using your ECA TConnect as though it were still your Member TConnect Page you had better read SFI rules. Perhaps some just wanted the 500 VP for setting it up having no intentions of ever using it for

The only time you would need to change your approach wound be when you have knowledge about some restrictions that would place limitations on a prospective ECA business. Other than that you should have free reign to approach prospective ECAs anywhere in most countries and regions.

Once your prospect has decided to become an ECA it is their responsibility to follow through with all their state, regions or counties regulations on acquiring all the necessary sales tax licencing/permits and

Lets be realistic here. SFI is primarily a Home Based Business. Without access to a computer be it a Desktop, Notebook, Laptop or something similar on a daily basis you will falter as an SFI Sponsor. You need to have access to the many resources needed to build a profitable SFI business. "You can't make bricks without straw." Due to my particular circumstances were I suddenly cut off from using my computer at home my first public access to a computer would be for the purpose of accessing

Hello Navneet,

My best uses of MRPs:

1. I use them to buy single TCredits. This is something I do often on my way to win the E365 and to boost my ratings. 1,260 MRPs will but you 10 TCredits and at the same time you receive 1,020 VPs.

2. I use them to buy products I like and require shipping charges. This way I only pay for the shipping charges at checkout.

I am sure there are other uses for them. The best use for them will differ between individuals

Hello Zoran,

I'm glad you asked this question. I was not winning until I used the Auto Bidder for the first time followed by five more wins making it a total of six consecutive wins. Using the auto bidder makes quick work of it most times. I lost big the seventh time going for the iPad.

Sometimes I just go for the 2X MRP with no intentions of winning because I like to use the MRPs to buy single TCredits - usually 10 at a time. This method is very effective for maximizing Versa

When working with the workers I would promote the benefits and importance of answering Ask SC questions. Your workers should already be doing the most common tasks and shouldn't need much coaching unless you find one that has a habit of neglecting a particular task.

Practice! Practice! If you are determined and persistent you can frequently become Top Author; making the top ten often and earning those valuable Action VP.

The additional Action VP could qualify you for the

You will know if you've been struck with that entrepreneurial spirit. This means that you possess certain qualities and habits that would eventually lead to you placing in that 1 to 3 percent of those that achieve success.

Most fail in Affiliate Marketing and MLM because they have never developed the qualities that are most commonly found among entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs have passion for what they do. They focus on one task at a time, read allot, don't waste needless

Hello Mary,

More or less this happens to all of us. Of course we want to do our best to reduce this from happening. We all experience times in our own lives when we've abandoned being productive or ceased making progress in exchange for comfort and peace. Rather than explore any further the possibilities of our own potential we chose instead a lazy lifestyle. Until one has the willingness to change this vicious cycle it will only continue.

Doing nothing is the worst thing
