One a day!

8/2/12

Could you spare five minutes a day to grow your business? Now I’m guessing that however busy you are that the answer is – yes.

So, this is what I want you to do, and you can’t now say that you are too busy, because I know, that in your head you’ve already agreed that you have the time. Now don’t worry, it’s a simple thing and it will grow your business.

All I want you to do is invite one person to your next meeting. It doesn’t matter how: obviously in person is best. But it could be by phone, via email, letter, text, postcard, on social media, or any other. The important thing is that you do it. Now it may take you a lot less than five minutes, but I still only want you to invite one person. However, there is a catch! I want you to do the same every day; five times each and every week, all year. And, here’s the best part, in a year you will have invited 220 people - given you time off for holidays!

Now this is the brilliant part! There isn’t a member of your chapter that can’t spare five minutes a day to grow their business. This means that all of your fellow members can do exactly the same as you by inviting one person each and every day of the year. Don’t bother looking for your calculator; in an average chapter of 36 members it would mean that you were inviting 7920 business owners to your chapter. Makes you think, doesn’t it?!

Growing your business, and your chapter, can be very simple. It just takes every member to spend a few minutes each day to make it happen.
