I had an amazing butterfly effect moment this week.  It made me think about how one influence, referral, or conversation can become a voice in someone’s head and how lucky we are to be able to shape businesses, strengthen chapters, and create ripples of lasting impact.

Visiting other chapters can open your eyes and expand your network.  In this episode, I discuss the benefits of a fresh perspective for you as a member and as a connector.  

 Failure in your first BNI year is common—but it’s not the end. It’s the beginning of growth, clarity, and refinement. 

Explore unique and inspiring locations for one-to-one business meetings outside the traditional office setting. This summer, take some time to uncover the perfect settings to foster creativity, build stronger relationships, and add a memorable twist to professional networking. 

In this episode, we dive into the metaphorical forecast that too many entrepreneurs are living under: scattered focus, chance of burnout, and gusty winds of distraction.

Just like the weather, distractions are everywhere — and while we can’t control the forecast, we can absolutely control how we show up in it. 

As BNI members we are continuously looking for better and more effective ways to make connections, invite people to experience BNI, and maximize our return.  Ask BNI, our newest addition to the BNI experience, can do that!  Listen in for more details.  

Explore the transformative journey of new BNI members and the pivotal role mentorship plays in their success. Learn how guidance, support, and self advocacy unlock potential and foster growth.

You did it—BNI is working, referrals are flowing, and your business is growing. But now you’re staring down the double-edged sword of success: being overwhelmed. In this episode, I walk through what to do when you work BNI and how to grow with intention instead of drowning in opportunity. 

 This episode explores how to unlock real growth by being intentional with your BNI membership. Learn practical strategies for pre-meeting prep, showing up to give, and killer follow-up—plus real-world stories from the field. Don’t just show up—show up with purpose and watch your referrals soar! 

Expanding a BNI chapter enhances referral diversity, networking reach, and member visibility. It fosters a dynamic, educational environment, offering leadership opportunities and strengthening business prospects for all members.  I'm convinced!  How do I do it??
