When I offer SFI to other people, I do so with the thought I am offering a business opportunity, and the new people are linking with a group of like-minded entrepreneurs.
In other words, I'm looking for people who have the desire, the motivation, and the tenacity to do whatever it takes to develop their own business.
I am not looking for people who treat SFI as another job, and I am not looking for new members of "my sales team", with me as the sales manager, setting targets and dishing out rewards for reaching them.
Of course, I'm available anytime if someone asks for guidance. I share helpful information and tips regularly on my leadership page and blog, and through the excellent SFI communication channels, as well as e-cards to give praise and encouragement.
In these ways I hope to bring out the latent entrepreneurial spirit in those new to being self-employed, and to fan the flames of those already alight with entrepreneurial fire.
In my personal view, rewards for reaching certain targets are typical of the job environment, and do not encourage the entrepreneurial mind-set.
