  • Celebrating Challenge, Key Actionable Tips

    I recently listened to the Gratitude Effect podcast and we were encouraged to post gratitude to someone in our BNI chapter. I want to thank our President Brooke Jenkins (High Noon Networkers) who helped me this week with some tech interface tips to make me even more efficient. Ivan, I’d like to invite you to visit our chapter!

  • More BNI propaganda

    The reason I tuned in was for self improvement. These podcast episodes unfortunately only suggest how to build your chapter and grow BNI. I had to re assess my level of involvement in this organization.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 976: The Difference Between Persistence and Stubbornness
Q: Do you have anything to say about bouncing back after so many disappointments?
Yes. Rejections were painful but informative; each one taught me something about the proposal, positioning, and audience, and ultimately pushed me to refine my message and persistence into a smarter, more adaptable approach.
Episode 974: Don’t Google, Greggle
Q: Talk about becoming the go-to person for your network.
Greg explains that it's about consistent positioning, personal outreach, and creating a lead generation system within the chapter—using weekly presentations, targeted referrals, and a simple, repeatable script to connect people. Over time this builds trust and makes you the natural first point of contact for opportunities within the network.
Episode 972: The Power of Small Talk
Q: So what do you have to share with us?
Ivan Misner explains that small talk should be used as a doorway to deeper relationships, offering practical questions to surface interests, challenges, and stories, which in turn foster referrals and meaningful connections.
Episode 970: Sailing or Scaling?
Q: Can you give me a real short answer on why it's important to choose purposefully whether to sail or scale?
Deliberate choice is essential because sailing should be done on purpose, and scaling requires a clear, intentional path beyond the founder, ensuring longevity and impact beyond personal involvement.
Episode 971: What Is Essential to New Members?
Q: Jenny, you started hosting first-year member essentials webinars a few years ago. Could you talk a little about that?
She explains that the webinars were created because new members were easily overwhelmed and needed a centralized place to access the basics, with live Q&A and a voice that lands differently than in other trainings.
