Get Started in SFI

First Steps

Welcome to your first issue of LaunchPad™! Over the next 30 days, LaunchPad™ will provide you with the information you need to build a fun and profitable SFI business. Each day will cover a different "bite-sized" topic so that you won't have to absorb too much information at once. And at the end of 30 days, you'll have a great foundation to build upon. And don't forget that you earn 15 VP for every LaunchPad™ lesson you complete!

Of course, feel free to jump ahead if you want (by using this index). After all, it's YOUR business—so set the pace YOU are comfortable with. SUGGESTION: You may want to print out each day's edition of LaunchPad and place it in a 3-ring binder for easy offline reading and review.

Now let's get started with today's LaunchPad lesson…

As explained on your "Welcome to SFI" Page, getting started making money with SFI is as easy as earning points for doing simple free actions. For your complete list of pointable actions, see your SFI To-Do List located on your SFI homepage HERE. NOTE: Complete the five "Fast-Track" actions in the Getting Started section of your To-Do List (look for the green or red JET icons) and generate a minimum of $20 USD in sales and/or purchases within your first 10 days as an SFI Affiliate to become a Fast-Track Member and get valuable, exclusive bonuses!

But that's just the beginning of the income opportunities now available to you as an SFI affiliate! In today's LaunchPad, we want to introduce you to one of those opportunities...our FREE Entrepreneur365 (E365) contest.

As a new SFI affiliate, we've automatically entered you into E365. Here's how it works:

E365 is a challenge in which you compete with every other SFI affiliate who joined SFI the same day you did. The idea is to outlast them all and, on your 365th day in SFI, be named the champion of your class—an Entrepreneur365 Champion!

As an E365 Champion, you'll receive special corporate recognition, a spot on the E365 "hall of fame" Website, bragging rights, and a handsome plaque for your office wall to commemorate your achievement, and more. AND, along the way, you will have the opportunity to win thousands of dollars in cash and prizes, too!

The E365 competition is based on VersaPoints and is divided into six rounds.

Your first round is from 12/18/2011 to midnight CST 12/24/2011. By the end of the round, you simply need to be "above the green line" to advance to the second round of the challenge. And just by advancing, you will immediately win your first E365 prize!

What do we mean about the green line? You'll find the "green line" on the E365 Leaderboard. It displays the MEDIAN number of VersaPoints scored by all the members of your class to date who are in the contest. To advance to the next round and win a prize, you simply need to score more points than the median (i.e. be above the green line).

Would you like to see where you stand in the contest right now (and/or see the prize list and complete rules)? GO HERE.

If you're still in your first 30 days in SFI and you're currently ABOVE the green line, good job, keep up the great work! If you're UNDER the green line, however, don't panic. All you need to do is take more actions on your To-Do List, and score some more points before the round ends.

All of the first five rounds use the same simple rule: Stay above the green line and you advance—and win more prizes (and the prizes get BIGGER each round). For the sixth and final round, to be named Entrepreneur365 Champion, you'll simply need to accumulate the most VP in your class by the end of your 365th day. More on this in later lessons...

We think E365 is a really fun contest, and it gives you some great goals to shoot for during your first year in SFI. Plus, you've probably already figured out that while you're competing in E365, you're, of course, also accumulating LOTS of VersaPoints—points that can put money in your pocket from the TripleClicks Executive Pool.
