Hi there
Look at the goals you've set for yourself - every time you reach one of these goals it is success. Because it encourages you when you see yourself reaching your goals I see it as very important that you do not set unrealistic goals - like being the number one top earner in your 1st month. Not seeing you reaching any goals is very demoralizing and might tell you to give up. If you give up you will always wonder: Did I throw away my chance to become financially independent? Did I abandon abundance?
Are you about instant gratification or do you know that you will reap the rewards of not giving up?
What is your idea of success? Money? Reaching goals? Depending on what your answer to these questions are - you will know when you are successful - trust yourself - you can not measure your success by anybody else's standards.
I have a feeling you will taste success and KNOW it - because it is a good taste - even the smallest goals you reach is a victory.
Good luck

Which of the SFI LaunchPad lessons is best...and why?

Think of SFI as building a house. You need a good foundation and then you build it up - row by row, brick by brick. You can not leave holes in the foundation or leave out a brick or two.
Each lesson you do in Launchpad forms an important part in your foundation. Once you appreciate and understand every lesson you are ready to start building your business on that foundation. The bricks are everything you do to build your business - the actions, the sales, the marketing etc. It is also the additional lessons you learn when you start exploring the site and you start finding more and more things to help you on your journey.
Can you really say one is better or more important than the rest? Not as far as I am concerned.

I have planned a local get-together for A2A affiliates. Any suggestions on what to do at the meeting?

When you decided you plan the get-together you must've had a reason for doing so. Did you do it just to get to know them? Do you want it to be a social gathering? Do you want it to be a learning / teaching event?
If it is a get to know each other social event - keep it that way. Have you ever been invited to a party and then get there only to realize it was just a scam to get you to attend? It is disappointing and irritating.
Maybe you can let them know beforehand what your goal is - social, business, workshop etc. That way they will know what to expect and they can prepare for it.
You can do it as a workshop where you brainstorm to identify problems you experience and find solutions to them.
You can have some of your successful affiliates lead a session where they share their secrets and tips for success with the rest of you.
It can be just a team building exercise - a strong team means more success for everybody involved. Team building can provide a support system to the team, motivate and encourage. It is a lot easier to give up and walk away if you do not have a person or persons to think about. If you know your team you also feel a responsibility to them and it makes you try harder. It is also very helpful when you are having a tough time if there is a team to encourage you.

How do I get new, anxious-to-earn-NOW affiliates to understand that it takes time to develop a successful business?

I feel honesty is the best policy - tell them it is a legitimate business and not a get rich quick scheme - if that is what they are looking for they are in the wrong place HOWEVER if they are serious about working on a long term goal and building up a legitimate strong business they should stay and give it the effort and attention it deserves and that will help them to succeed.
If they are not convinced they can do research on the history of successful businesses. Did success come overnight? Did it come easy and without hard, smart work and effort? Definitely NO. There is no difference between a business online and a business in an office or shop.
There are ways they can earn quick money - they can advertise things in a local newspaper, sell it for a lot less than what it's worth - but what do they do when they have nothing left to sell?
One last thing - do not waste your time with people that only wants to earn a quick buck - they won't stay long and then you invested time and effort in them that you could've used much better to help the ones that wants to learn and earn and are willing to work for it.

Is it wise to 'bribe' your downline with Gift Certificates, TCredits or other incentives? Or does this practice come back and bite you?

That is debatable. It can come back to bite you or it can help you to build a strong down line.
You have to look at what your down line is doing. If they do something to help themselves - give them a gift certificate just to help them out and to stop them from getting discouraged.
Do not waste your money on somebody that is not even trying.
I can tell you from my personal experience - I work very hard but I came close to giving up and somehow my sponsor picked up on it and she would sent a gift certificate when I need it most and that would give me just enough to make progress. Because of this I am giving it my all, and I will keep on doing so - why? I want to show her that her faith and trust in me was worth it. I do not want to give up and leave her feeling it was all for nothing.

Where can I get good content for my SFI blog without infringing on copyrighted material?

It is always better if you write about what you know. What do you know better than your own journey with SFI?
What did you know about SFI when you started? Just about nothing right? You learned things that made you decide to stay. Write your blog about that. You have to use the correct terms so you have to use the same terms SFI will use - that would not be infringing on copyright. Should you copy everything word for word it is definitely infringing on copyright.
The next thing you can write about is the different ways you can make money - take it one by one and tell the reader about it the way you experience it - again using the correct terms as they are on SFI. Right there you have a few different pages on your blog.
Make sure the reader can see your enthusiasm and believe or faith in the possibilities with SFI. Your enthusiasm will be contagious if it is your words and if it shows honesty - even if it is not a literature masterpiece.
If you just copy or re-write other people's blogs or articles it will not make the same impact on your readers - because if they click on your link and start surfing the site they will recognize your blogs and immediately feel you are not writing from the heart or experience.
I always think and write and re-write everything in my mind before I start putting anything down on paper or the computer and even after that I read it over and make changes - I find it result in better work.
Most important - ENJOY WRITING YOUR BLOG AND OTHERS WILL ENJOY READING IT.

What are the best tips for answering ASK SC questions so that you get the maximum number of votes possible?

Hi there
I usually see a question and then I think about it for a while before I answer it.
When I answer the question I use my own words, experience and honest opinion - my answers are often very different from other answers on the same question. I read the other answers to compare other people's point of view - I don't know it all and other opinions might shed more light and teach me something new.
I also think you have to answer questions shortly after they are posted - it gives people more opportunities to vote - more people will read your answers and vote on it.
The one thing you should not do is answer a question if you know nothing about the subject or answer it in a language other than English - it narrows the amount of people that can actually read and vote on your answer dramatically.
The more you learn the better equipped you will be to give valuable answers - and I think it is fun too.

Are there any shortcuts to success in SFI for new affiliates?

As far as I am concerned the only good shortcuts will be the ones you put on your computer to go straight to your favorite websites or games. If you look at success stories you will see they all have something in common
They worked hard and they worked smart
Working smart does not mean shortcuts - it means doing things efficient without working yourself into a standstill and it means good time management.
The only shortcut I would recommend would be to train yourself by reading and understand the lessons here. Instead of learning by making mistakes - take the "short cut" by learning from the lessons others learned by making mistakes.
Hope this helps

It is FREE
It trains you, teach you skills, gives you all the tools you need. You don't have to surf the net to learn to do anything - you got it all here in one place. The value of the knowledge you earn is priceless.
Availability of support - all you have to do is ask.
The head of the company - Gery - is involved and not just an invisible person, or a name that might or might not be real.
SFI's been in business for a long time and they have a proven track record.
Just take a tour through the website and you will find plenty of reasons why SFI is different and / or better

Wow - I can almost tell you to write down every tool and that would be your most important tool.
I think the most valuable tool we get is knowledge - without the knowledge every tool available would go to waste - without the knowledge you can not use even the best tool in the world.
Your next most valuable tool would be people - the support staff and everybody at HQ, the people at the Forum that is always happy to help and then your sponsor and the rest of your up and down line.
The marketing methods and tools like banners, flyers etcetera, the gateways - all these things are excellent tools, valuable tools but you might've noticed I do not call these tools most important, I called them valuable because they are, but they are not the most important.
You are the most important tool you have working and building your business - if you are not into it, or you work half heartedly or give up none of the tools will make any difference. Your attitude towards your business is what will make the difference.
