The start of the New Year and the beginning of your businesses extended future plan; where you hope to be in the years to come.
As with all plans, however distant they are, there
are things that must be done today, if you are going to succeed.
And, a seven-week plan, for your BNI success, is a
great way to start, not only for your BNI Chapter but also for you.
Often your chapter will have a goal and all the
members will be given targets to meet. New targets (plans) are essential to
your success, as otherwise, if you keep doing the same things, you will just
get the same results.
Now chapter plans are sometimes difficult for some
members and easy for others. For example, as a member you are asked to bring
along five new members a year. If on average you invite 11 a year (and they
attend) it’s very easy, but if last year you didn’t have one visitor, then it
could be very hard.
And, that’s why I love the ‘7 Week Resolution’.
It’s your commitment to your chapter, chosen by you. Signed and sealed! But,
there is one condition; your commitment has to be better than your normal
activity; based only on your actions.
So, if in seven weeks you would on average have
three One2Ones, then in the next seven weeks you would commit to having, say
five. With workshops you might not often attend, so your commitment would be to
attend one. Referrals you might give 10, so you could commit to giving 12. And,
with visitors, you may not have had one for months, so you would commit to
bring one. But, if normally, you might bring two visitors, then you would
commit to bringing three.
What’s great about the ‘7 Week Resolution’ is that
is what you choose and commit to doing, and when every chapter member commits
to doing this the results are often outstanding.
But, the best thing is that it’s part of your
future business success. So, if you are truly serious about your future, then
the BNI ‘7 Week Resolution’, is a must do.
Note: If you would like a '7 Week Resolution' form then let me know or ask your BNI Director.
