BNI & The Power of One

This week we interviewed Dr. Shawn Shapiro about an amazing educational moment he conducted all around having the right inviting mindset.  Dr. Shawn discussed how inviting can be easy and effective if you believe in what you are inviting someone to.

As we approach Membership Extravaganza, and chapters are really focused on growth, we discuss why just blindly accepting, or even poaching, other BNI members is probably not the answer anyone is looking for.

For many years, and in many previous episodes, I have discussed how spending just 15 minutes a day working ON my BNI membership changed the results I was seeing.  Simply by scheduling dedicated time helped me become more effective.  The problem is it isn't really that simple to do.  So I offered to our Director Consultant team the opportunity for a couple of people to go through a coaching program with me if they were interested in installing this 15 minute a day program into their memebership and business.  Two people immediately jumped in, and one of our Managing Directors asked if I would be willing to take a third person who was not on our team.

Thankfully I said yes, and in this episode we introduce you to Jamie Stein, a member in New Hampshire and one of our Director Consultants
