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.

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.

She spoke on “Oil Tanks” and some of the details to re-mediate, move, or install a replacement inside the home.
Some of the points she covered were:
No regulation is on tanks under 1,100 gallons
Leakage can be seen in the ground around the tank
Leaving a tank in the ground is legal. No can fill will cement to avoid later sink hole issues
Two inside tanks are a way to replace your bigger outside one
It true that there is no law that says an in-ground tank has to be removed when selling a home, although it is unlikely you will be able to sell your home without removing the old tank.
When an architect speaks about conversion, they are referring to converting spaces that are illegal to sell-able ones. Oil tanks can be one of the many details Mondana handles expertly! She has serviced Westchester County since 2001 in this capacity. She has tailored her 30-year career to specializing in commercial space reconfiguration, residential renovation, and additions.

Adam Puello speaks to us today about the importance of being prepared!
In the days before Hurricane Joaquin could hit the East Coast bad, Adam talks about flood insurance.
Did you know?:
With other insurance providers, your hurricane deductible could be 5%, which could equate to as much as $35,000 you’ll have to pay before you see a dime of insurance money in the event of large damage!
State Farm insurance policies include a ‘Loss of Use’ insurance. This is so that you can stay at a hotel while your property is damaged and you cannot use it. It is up to 12 months as of today’s terms.
Renters’ insurance by State Farm also carries the ‘Loss of Use’ right of claim
Flood insurance by State Farm covers all outside water flooding or seeping into your home under it’s Flood Insurance Policy
Those are 4 good reasons to see what other peace-of-mind, Adam from Statefarm can show you that he can provide.
