Hi,
thanks for this unique and great question!

Well my greatest challenge was my third month ...I didn't have any VPs from my VP ledger.... so I was in fear how will I confirm my EA status. But I was lucky that I had a great team leaders that help me overcome it, and show me how to work.... so not only that I confirmed EA2 , but I become BTL for the first time.... It was WOOOW, that feeling I will never forget ...

If you have the same problem, I can say from my own experience

There will definitely be challenges along this journey of being successful with SFI. One challenge that I face is interacting negative and doubtful people who try to discourage me.

The best way that I have found to overcome this is by surrounding myself with positive people who will offer their support and encourage me. A huge help is visiting the forum at SFI, there are so many helpful and positive people who are willing to offer great advice and encouragement.

I am still

My greatest challenge in SFI has been building an active team. I think many are in the same boat.

I continue to learn every day, promote every day, and check out the forum for tips.

I have promoted this site and been honest regarding its possibilities of long term residual income, and is not a get rick quick scheme.

I continue to message my downline team with encouragement, tips, and new information at least once or twice a week.

So, as far as overcoming

Hello Friend,

The Greatest Challenge in SFI to success is to make our down line members active, whether its a PSA or CSA.

We can get as many PSA's and CSA's either through Price-bender auctions or attaining team leader qualification but we can assure how many of them are active.

We can succeed in SFI only when our down line members are active so its a greatest challenge for me to succeed in SFI.

We can first approach our family or friends who are interested

Twelve of the following factors may be the toughest challenge but it also contains formulation on how to overcome them to achieve success in any business, particularly in the SFI business:
1| KNOWLEDGE (especially basic knowledge about network marketing).
2| COMMUNICATIVE (able to communicate in English, at least passively). SFI President Gery Carson strongly recommends, "Start by opening up good lines of communication with all your affiliates."
3| POSITIVE THINKING (in all

For me and I am sure many others it is keeping your eye on the prize.

When financial freedom could be months or even years away, it is hard to keep the mindset that doing the work now will pay off greatly later.

"Why do it now when you can do it later" - Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. This is NOT the attitude to have. If it is, you have already been beaten.

The way I have overcome this is by checking in everyday since I have joined SFI. It has become habit. Even if

The greatest challenge was to defeat:
- the lack of time
- the lack of money
- the huge quantity of information to keep in mind for doing daily in SFI having in view I have also other important things to do
However, I decided to renounce some of the SFI activities for the moment and to do the ones which are absolutely necessary only. I enrolled in the W3 program and I got some more T-Credits monthly, so...I diminished the necessary monthly investments (time and money) to keep

One of my greatest challenges to make a success in SFI is recruiting new affiliates. This is still my greatest challenge.

I do advertize, and I get hits but no signups.

My next greatest challenge is trying to win auctions. I have won 1 but at a lot of expense. My sponsor gave me some tips about auctions.

I am trying to overcome the lack of signups by purchasing PSAs.

As far as the auctions go I am being more selective about how I bid. I now look at who

What was my greatest challenge to success in S F I.... and how I overcome it?

My greatest challenge to success in S F I is my EA (executive Affiliates). They joined S F I and able to complete the 1500VP or EA rank. They even re-qualify the EA rank in the succeeding month or two but they were gone after the cyber attack. I can't contact their mobile nor answering my emails. Majority of my downlines were wipe out and another challenge is, all my CSAs are inactive, nobody answer my email
