First meeting of new term. Few new faces in Leadership Team. New President Script. New NEC. Emm... So far the new NEC was doing well this morning...
Before the meeting started, few of the members discussed about becoming the Leadership Team in chapter. Most of them not really want to participate due to their main reason... "We are so busy in our own business, where got time to involve in the chapter activities...?"
Well... What is the Main Reason to join BNI? To get more referrals/ business? If every member saying that they are busy on their own business, then nobody will lead the chapter and who will get business from the chapter? Now who is the farmer & hunter? As long as they are good follower, chapter will always in the "Balance" situation...
Celebrating 6th Anniversary of Achievers Chapter with a simple cake cutting, group photo. One of the member asked me why that is no outside celebration like kind of dinner or what... I just smile to him...
2 absent this morning, 1 member fall to sick and 1 absent without reason for continuously 2 weeks... In fact he told me he plans to quit from the group. I asked him to stay at least till the membership due. He just smiled to me...
According to him, he did not get enough business/referrals from the group. I was so queries then why he renewed his membership 5 months ago...? Of course that is no right or wrong in this world. Maybe this is call quick reaction in the business world... But I still feel that we must put more effort to build the relationship then the business will come automatically. One typical example I see in the chapter is our Will Writer. He didn't get even many referrals for his first 18 months in the chapter. But recently I can see he started to give Thank You Notes.
