By Dawn Lyons, BNI Executive Director San Francisco Bay Area The number one question we receive is “how do we grow our chapter?” Well, the answer is simple, sponsor new members into the chapter. That’s it! That is the ONLY way to grow your chapter. Your chapter WILL grow when your members sponsor more members […] The post The Sponsoring Mindset appeared fir […]
I learned about “Murphy’s Law” in graduate school. It basically says that “what can go wrong, will go wrong.” Although this law feels very pessimistic, there is value to it. It gives a framework for people to look for the flaws in their thinking. When one does that effectively, it’s easier to address potential issues […] The post Misner’s Corollary to M […]
I ended the year with a humorous graphic on my social media that said: Dear 2021: I don’t want any trouble from you. Just come in, sit in the corner, don’t touch anything, and keep your mouth shut. Although it was pithy and pretty funny, there is an important flip side to this sentiment. That […] The post 2020 – Finding the Good in Bad Times appeared first […]
After four decades in the business world, I have found that these three concepts truly summarize an entrepreneur’s recipe for success. First, you must be passionate about what you deliver to your customers and clients. Nothing great in life has ever been accomplished without passion. This starts by making sure you (and your team) are […] The post Passion, […]
Recently, my assistant, Dana made a couple suggestions to me. Afterwards, she asked if I minded her giving these suggestions. I immediately said that not only did I “not” mind her ideas, I actually wanted her to share them with me. I then told her the following story about an experience I had many years […] The post We Don’t Pay You To Think! appeared firs […]
The world can be a dark and contentious place. Illness, famine, poverty, hostility, and desperation are all around us. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The world can be a better place. We can make a choice — a choice to be a voice of change, a change that can transform the world […] The post Givers Gain® is Transformational appeared first on BNI.

Is there room for intuition in business? Yes, most definitely. Decades ago, I may not have thought that, but over the years I have changed my opinion and believe that intuition can be another tool in the business toolbelt. The definition of intuition is the “direct perception of truth or facts, independent of any reasoning […] The post Is There Room for I […]
by: Erin Perrin, Mortgage Expert with Academy MortgageQueen City BNI, Burlington, Vermont We’ve all heard the saying “glass half empty or glass half full.” These are interesting times we’re living in, and sometimes I find it’s hard to be that glass-half-full kind of person. Mind you, every day I am still telling my boys “the […] The post Obligation vs. Oppor […]
With everything going on in the world today, we thought it would be a good time to take a step back and talk about diversity, and more specifically, about diversifying your business network. Developing a truly diverse network is not only the right thing to do, it is also the smart thing to do. Because […] The post Being Intentional About Diversity appeared […]

I am thankful that my work and personal travels have allowed me to experience many things and learn a great deal. One lesson that has truly resonated with me is: no matter our country, race, color, marital status, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or politics: at our core, we are all the same.

Did you know that barter business increases your cash clients?
Q & A:
Will the barter exchange refer me for cash business?: Keeping your calendar full and workers working is important during slow time which they do. But at busy times, they understand and encourage cash sales by still referring your business.
What type of support do you provide? Not only do they have online shopping for those of us that don’t want to talk to people, but they have several account managers you can speak with regarding your need at all times. Your inquiry is received and always addressed with, sometimes, multiple solutions.
After ‘living free’ in New Hampshire as a youth, Kevin entered the TV advertising industry after college. Once landing the $60 million TV Network, Fox, as an employer, he worked long nights and crazy days until deciding that his entrepreneurial urges needed to be met. He saw the potential for a Barter Exchange in Westchester County so created one with his wife and partner, Karen Brown. Last year, HBX members traded in excess of $3 million in goods and services.
Check out how your business can benefit from the exchange.

Representing RAKOW Group, he expresses the need to protect yourself when you’re seeking leasing for your business.
Paul Moulins devotes his days not only pairing up business owners with inspiring commercial spaces, but educating them on the unknown in securing it. Real estate is probably the biggest asset your business will have on its balance sheet, rushing into the commitment should not be how you acquire it.
Paul mentioned how the Real Estate broker fees are already factored into the landlord’s square footage price. So there is no reason why you don’t hire this representation, you’re paying for it anyway.
PAUL MOULIN’S TIPS:
How far out should you start working on new commercial space?: It takes from 12 to 18 months on average to work out all details with agents and lawyers to ensure you are getting the best for you, your business and your business’ budget.
‘Personal Guarantee’, ‘Good Guy’ clause, and other terminology that is important to discuss and understand with a real estate broker. This will ensure, again, that you are setting up your asset correctly.
