Great question.. The greatest challenge that i face in SFI was to build up my downline and a healthy team in sfi. I face a lot of difficulties to build up my downline to stay in SFI. SO to tackle this i made website blog and market it in social media and other traffic tools to get signups. i cant buy them coz i have limited budget and to stay in sfi i had to do something with limited budget and i did like this and i am getting some success. IT is very necessary to stay calm in sfi and keep moving.

My greatest challenge was dealing with the fact that I had a lot of affiliates that were not participating with the team. I know that to be successful with any job, there has to be some form of teamwork.

I overcame this by holding on to the idea that there are lots more affiliates out there that want to participate and be successful and that I have to be patient and wait for them to arrive. If I only get 1 out of 10, I'm happy and know that I can keep working to get more.

Hi.
My greatest challenge was and still is
to recruit active PSA's.

I have been loyal to SFI for nearly a year.

I have purchased PSA's from several sources,
BUT NONE (150 plus and counting) have been active
after the original sign in.

Or even bothered to reply to the welcome letter.

And do not respond to subsequent emails

In the UK there is still the stigma
from the Pyramid selling scandal of the 1960's
MLM is

My greatest challenge in SFI was understanding what to do about the business and doing it well.

I was actually engrossed with scoring Versapoints on the asterisk tasks and Launchpads and other manuals that I did not take time to really read and understand them. I almost gave up later. Thank God I never did.

This was particularly because I stumbled on SFI on the web and just signed up without anybody coaching me through. But now, I know better and I make myself available to help

I joined the SFI three months ago. When I clicked on the ad and became a member all seemed confused . I could not find my way I do what I have to do , but almost immediately I was contacted by my sponsor who sent me a mail with all the instructions on how to do. There were also video clips that show the true path . Two or three days ago, I explored and iVideo that there's a bunch of material that can be used for internet marketing and I was very intrigued , although I have not done it . The hardest

I think my greatest challenge was not trying to learn everything at once. Some uplines encourage you to try and do too much when first starting out. Some learn faster than others. You need to learn at your own pace,so I found it hard initially to not do too much.

How did I overcome it?

With a lot of willpower and the realization I was doing things that I did not really understand. I stopped doing some of the things I was doing and took time to read about the different aspects

Having a down line which will not give you feed back on anything you send them. You must not for any reason give up. Sooner or later something you say or do will strike a nerve and your email will be flooded with responses.

While sign up is indeed free it takes money (not a lot but some) to make this business work the way it should. A Standing Order for one. One must understand that a little here and there adds up to a lot of VP's. SFI and TripleClicks offer us their members a great deal

Well I would say that my greatest challenges to succeeding in SFI and how I managed to overcome it will be as follow:
How to stay positive , motivated despite so much inactivity and poor responses from my downline be it newly signed up Affiliates, PRMS , CSAs and PSAs etc : I just focus on the movers and keep plugging and looking forward to reawaken some of the sleeping Giants eventually .Keep Model after the successful SFI Leaders and other top Marketers and never give up and keep pushing investing

I belong to a generation computer illiterate and have no idea about the network and affiliate marketers. For me, success was to beat myself and prove to myself that I can find everything I want.

- I've had excellent help of experienced people, to whom I could always rely on, because I knew they were always willing to help.

- I read, studied and applied the things I learned.

- Impossible things do not exist, everything can be someone else I can do.

-Daily

My first biggest challenge, was trying to find a way to get a SO (Standing Order) in place, as we have major challenges in the country I live in.

The problems did not deter me, it actually made me more determined than ever to find a way, and I did succeed in the end, and know have my Payonner card

My second biggest challenge was recruiting affiliates. I do not have the time or the know how, of seasoned professionals, and after about 8 months I found the perfect ECA in TripleClicks
