Michael (my partner) has always told me to write things down. Have a list so I know what I’m doing and where I’m going.

I never took his advice. How could things happen if I write anything down? That’s just mad. Surely it’s enough to discuss ideas and eventually things happen. I just didn’t get it until recently…

Since joining BNI, a network that I love because it’s an organisation that monitors everything that each member does. It’s not for everyone but it it for me.

I’d become lazy networking with other networks. Sometime’s I would attend and sometimes I wouldn’t depending on my workload. Other members were the same. I wasn’t taking them seriously and to be honest nor was I.

Since BNI, I’ve changed my whole business outlook. I’ve become educated in business. I’m looking after myself as well as my business. I attend face to face workshops and when I’m not able to do that I’m constantly listening to Ivan Misner , founder of BNI and his podcasts. I enjoy listening to his wise words, I’m dreading the day when I get to the last one!

I’m constantly writing my goals, re-evaluating them and adjusting them and it works. Because I’m writing down goals, it registers in my brain, so whenever I’m with a business working or having meetings my goals pop into the forefront of my thoughts.

Michael was right all along. Writing it down does makes things happen and they are!
