This certificate was presented to me on 11.1.2011, as a preconisation for contributing the most business referrals to my BNI members. I didn’t plan for anything special for the special date of 11.1.2011, but the recognition had made the day even more special and memorable for me.
December 2010 is my 3rd month in BNI community. BNI stands for Business Networking International, the world’s largest business networking organisation, founded by Dr. Ivan Misner in 1985. The philosophy of BNI is – Givers Gain. We believe when we are helping others to get their business, they will be reciprocal by helping us to get the business we want.
The first chapter for any new BNI member is to learn to be a Giver. Every people that I meet and every opportunity that I look for, I keep my members business in mind. Although I am yet to receive any concrete referral or business deal for myself, the ROI of the membership fees I paid remains zero, but my another 2 accounts that I created in BNI, unexpectedly, the Knowledge Account and Personal Network Account is flux with huge deposit!
As a new member, I am also assigned with mentor, to coach me and ensure that I will be able to benefit from BNI as soon as possible. I thank God that I have the Life Coach of our chapter as my mentor – Ms Sharyfa MK from Clear Path Life Coaching. She is not only coaching my path in BNI, but instead she offer free coaching sessions to assist me in finding a clear path for my career! How wonderful is that!
Jan 2011 is my 4th month in BNI. I realised that the biggest different between being an employee and entrepreneur. As employees, we get together to complain our bosses and company, but seldom think about how we can help each other in our career. But as entrepreneurs, we sit down to understand each other business and explore how we can help each other to grow. Each time we meet up, there are always new sparks of business ideas. I certainly have no regret on my career choice, and it’s my choice!
