Send praise down (and criticism up)
Have something positive to share? Send it to your downline! One of your jobs as an
upline member is to provide your downline with motivation, inspiration, and help create
and maintain momentum. A super easy way to do this is by regularly using the
PSA
Mailer,
CSA Mailer, and
Stream.
Post positive, uplifting comments on the
SFI Forum, too. Hearing about success from
other SFI affiliates, even if they're not in your upline or downline, is empowering!
Conversely, the last thing you want to do is kill momentum. Hence,
when you have a complaint, go "up" with it. That is, go to your upline
members or
SFI corporate support.
That's what we're here for, to help you with problems you encounter.
The SFI Forum is also not for venting or posting complaints. Posting
critical, disparaging remarks harms you and every SFI affiliate who is
working hard to achieve success—and don't forget that your own downline
reads the forum!
"We increase whatever we praise."
- Charles Fillmore
"Build your people and you will build your business.
People will want your approval first and your advice second. Do both.
A lot...in that order and you will find that they will like you and
willingly follow your suggestions."
- Jack M. Zufelt
"People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser...and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic."
- John Ruskin
"There is no investment you can make which will pay
you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer through
your establishment."
- Orison Swett Marden
SO many people quit just as they're ready to break through. Imagine mining deep into a
mountainside, then walking away mere inches away from striking gold. Don't be that
person.
