First of all you can go to the income calculator and enter various possibilities - from the worst to the best case scenarios - that will give you some idea what you can achieve.

Secondly you can read the testimonials of people that made it before we came.

Talk to the people currently climbing the ranks - go to the Forum and talk to the team leaders. Due to the requirements to become team leaders they can not be team leaders if they are not making money.

I am not sure there are any tricks involved but I can tell you that you can definitely use your Genealogy in many different ways to get information you can use to guide and motivate your team.

Play around with the filters, check out the information under the different tabs. You can send team mail to just a selected group or to your entire team - it will depend on what you want to discuss in the team mail.

Example - I used it to re-assign affiliates to another team member by

Most people like playing games and if they can win something of value even more so. Tell them about the games, what they can win and how much fun it is. Tell them what they can do with the T-credits they win, about MRP and what they can do with that.

One of my affiliates (my aunt) watched me playing the games and Knock Out Trivia peaked her interest and she wanted to play it too. Before long she was a TripleClicks and SFI affiliate.

The games however is just a fun bonus -

Hi there

I am glad you asked this question - it is not nice to think about it but I think it is very important - so I will now follow my own advice as set out below. Thank you for asking the question.

I would assume that you would carry on building your business after retirement but that your question is - what happens when I am no longer here to work my business?

In the first place you have to make sure that somebody, one or more of your beneficiaries knows about

Should I or shouldn't I try to recruit people to become SFI affiliates when they are not English speakers/readers?

Yes, Why not? Won't you feel good knowing that you not only help them to build a successful business but you also helped them to improve their English?

I live in a country with 11 official languages. My mother tongue is not English but I think I am doing well enough - and I only learned the language (very quickly) when I had to use it. The more you use any language the more you learn.

I don't think anybody able to join SFI is incapable of learning enough English to get by

Like everything else in life family support can help a lot - but it is not a matter of life and death.

If your family is excited about it and they help you to achieve your goals it is wonderful but if they are not behind you, you have to go for it on your own. Your success will eventually pull them in.

If you have at least one person you can train to take over from you if you have to or want to stop working you can be happy.

If nobody is interested and not even your

S-Builder Co-op or PSAs To Go. Which is better and why?

I think there are advantages for both.

Neither one of these can guarantee active affiliates - so it is still money spend in blind faith that you will get a decent number of working, active affiliates.

With the co-op you get affiliates over a period of time - so if you are not very patient (like me), it is not the best option.

With PSA's to go you get your PSA's immediately - for me this option is more rewarding because I see what I paid for very quickly and I can

Which is better to do...sponsoring SFI affiliates...or referring TripleClicks members?

In my opinion you can not choose between them. You need Versa Points for Sales as well as for actions.

If they join TripleClicks and they buy or sell you earn matching VP (dependent on your own rank of course) and commission on Sales.

If they join SFI you earn VP if you sponsor them to be EA, BTL etc.

Having your own business online is not as easy as pie. Once you understand the concept / rules it is build and based on, it becomes easier but you can never sit back

If you were to start over with SFI, what would you do differently, knowing what you do now about this business?

If only we can turn back the clock and start over again with the knowledge you have now, it would be so wonderful

I made mistakes that I wish I've done differently - but, I knew nothing then.

1. When I 1st signed up I did not take it serious because I did not want to get excited only to find
out it is like other opportunities I tried and that was a terrible disappointment. As luck would
have it, my laptop crashed - which was another "sign" to

To start with You have to know all there is to know about the NMP and you have to recognise the advantages yourself before even attempting to promote it.

So read about it, make sure you know what you are getting and how you can use it to grow your business. They have to see the advantage is has for them. They have to understand that buying it will grow their own business. When they see that and they buy it - you benefit as well.

So - if their business grows using the pack,
