BNI has 4 Pillars of Success. The group’s philosophy “Givers Gain”, is about caring and sharing with others without expectation. If everyone has this attitude, success and referrals await.
Education is a big part of the successful BNI system with sessions in each meeting, an online system and member success sessions run monthly.
Commitment is essential and with committed people to help others succeed this pillar is realised.
The final pillar is Structure, you can rely on purpose, mentoring and meetings with a proven structured agenda, leading to accountability and success.
If you meet with like minded people intentionally, without competitors in the room, regularly and follow a proven system you too share in this success.
