The greatest challenge I had to face was doing it on my own.
When I first started,
- my co-sponsor emailed me to welcome me to the program, but I never heard from her after that
- my sponsor emailed me a couple of times, mainly to tell me she was too busy to do her SFI business.
I had to learn everything for myself - what the pages meant, what the phrases meant (things like PSA, CSA, standing order), what the To-Do List meant, how to work this, how to make sense of that ... I spent every waking moment of my first month trying desperately to make sense of the system. It was hard because I had no support, and no one to talk to.
How did I overcome it?
I was at an auction. I invested a lot of money in TCredits. I played an auction - it was hard and it was long. But I eventually beat the person I was in contention with, ... only to have one of SFI's 'top dogs' come in at the last minute and win it.
I was devastated!!!! $200+ wasted.
But I received a very warm, friendly and kind email from a stranger.
He held out the hand of friendship; he offered his condolences and his hearty congratulations at my valiant attempt.
I was so touched by his kindness that I kept in touch with him.
Guess what - he took me to PTL.
His kindness and support made the difference to my success. His name is Ahmed. A wise, generous and kind mentor; and a dear friend.
