Question:

I love SFI because it is a platform that rewards hard work and compensates those who do their best to really grow their businesses. Although many people are saying that it is possible to succeed in SFI without investing any amount of money into the business. I am not here to argue with this school of thought as some people have through hard work achieved this great feat.

 I am of the opinion that a business is a serious transaction that demands the investment of money before you can be bold to want to reap dividends. Every successful business started in form of investment of monetary substance before it becomes great. With this believe, I want to ask some of you who are really trending and making money in sfi to please answer these questions
 (1) How much money is good to budget for marketing activities every month to make a reasonable sign ups?
 (2) What is the best financial investment to make in sfi to grow my business.
 I am aware that if I do not spend money in sfi. I can make it but it will take me much longer time, so please tell me.

Nobody else can tell you what a good marketing budget might be for you. We don't know your net income nor do we know your expenses.

 You need to sit down and calculate how much available funds you have for investing and then write a plan to use these funds.

 I'm sure that there will be plenty of people telling you how to invest your money (without needed info) but please be wise and make this judgment with the info you have.

Hello Everyone :

 I feel the best way to success is to follow " The Plan " that SFI has planned out for all who join , and to read their SFI Basic/Launchpad ; which utilizing all of the free Marketing Tools that one is provided , and simply devoting one's time to their business to see it grow .

 The first step in becoming successful at anything is by making the unwavering decision that you will be successful and commit to that goal. Look at anybody who is at the top of their game – Olympic athletes, billionaire entrepreneurs, Oscar-winning actors – did they get there by accident, by chopping and choosing a different thing to do every five minutes? No, they committed to their project, and worked and practiced hard, long before they became successful, often with little or no financial reward in the beginning.

 With the desire and commitment to succeed, and consistent effort, you can succeed at anything, and SFI is no exception. It gives you all the tools you need, with all the training and support you need from the Forum as well as the ASK SC ; which you have your A2A friends that you can share ideas with as well , and if you have a auspicious Sponsor or Co-Sponsor you are blessed . It is only up to you , and how much you are committed in using SFI’s resources in order to build an effective business ; which will take diligence on your part to see your business succeed , and you can still do it being on a budget .

 Show Up At The Office EVERYDAY!: Does any business succeed if the boss never shows up? Does a store survive if the doors are closed? Of course not! A self-employed person has to turn up for work, regularly and on time, or they will lose earnings, and the customer will not re-engage themselves in order for you to see progress for the future of your business ; which will eventually crumble , and the doubt as well as the thought of failure will overwhelm you to quit in the end. An effective leader is turning up at the office every day, to guide and motivate their down-line in building a strong team , and as a team the duplication process is manifested to bring everyone substantial income as well as a residual income for a long time to come .

 With the encouragement of the SFI Daily, Weekly & Monthly Actions, and much more besides, SFI rewards you for showing up at your office every day, giving you free VP’s as well as growing earnings. Plus, the badges you earn show you to be an experienced, disciplined and committed Team Leader ; which exemplify to all your down-line they can do it to , and this is how a awesome Sponsor Lead their team to success !!!

 May you all be blessed , and much success !!!

 A Friend !!!
