The IAHBE

What is the IAHBE?

Well, it stands for the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs. What it does is provide you with a tremendous amount of resources for you, the home business entrepreneur.

While there is no way that I can tell you everything about the IAHBE here on this blog post, but I want to give you some insider information about what you really get. I know because I have been a member for quite some time now.

I actually found the IAHBE through SFI. It's free to join as many of you are already aware, but I understand the principal "it takes money to make money" so I wanted to get my standing order set up right away before I even started recruiting for SFI.

Why?

Well, because when you create a standing order which automatically qualifies you each month as an Executive Affiliate, you're setting the example for everyone in your downline. If you're serious about making money, you'll do these kinds of things in the programs that you're going to promote from the heart. How can you ask someone in your downline to create their standing order (so that you can make even more money) if you haven't set the example yourself?

Anyway, back to the IAHBE. It was my standing order from almost the very start of my joining SFI. This means that every single month, I get a check from SFI.

Of course, that's great and all, but the IAHBE membership in itself is awesome.Here are some of the things you get with your IAHBE membership.

Ok let's look at some of the topics at the IAHBE.

  • And more.
These are just some of the things that you get with your IAHBE membership. It is well worth the price and it gives you automatic Executive Affilaite status with SFI.

No doubt that your IAHBE membership will also help you grow your SFI business as well as any other business you may be promoting. This service will empower you and explode your business.

The drawback?

You can actually get lost on this site all day if you're not careful. It's hard to get through here and get all of the benefits of this membership. Some months when I'm really busy, I actually feel ripped off if I didn't get to access the IAHBE.

I have been a member for quite a long time and I STILL haven't had a chance to access all of the benefits that I'm entitled. I get busy with my actual marketing and forget to even visit! Then I get my check from SFI, and it's all ok.

So, there you go. A look into the IAHBE.
