Thanks for the article. I jumped on the band wagon NOT to participate in a recession in 2008 and my business grew. Can't wait to see what happens this year. Here's to raising the bar!

We are challenging all our members to raise their bar in everything they do. I have no doubt that BNI members who adopt this concept will excel beyond their successes of recent years! It's also a powerful message for visitors to BNI and really sets the tone! 2009 will be a great year! Morgan The ethos of ‘Raising the Bar’ is undoubtedly well timed for 2009!

Weekes Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:20:07 +0000 http://successnet.czcommunity.com/?p=975#comment-44 I would like to endorse your concept and strategy of "Raising the bar" as the theme and focus for 2009. You clearly define for us what this means. Two years ago our president of the Trident Chapter in Barbados presented members with a trophy for "Raising the bar".If you brought the most visitors or passed the most referrals you earned the right to have that trophy display in front of you for that meeting. This worked because our membership increased and qualified referrals increased and those who participated increased their business revenue. Thank you for keeping us motivated, positive and focused. Wishing all good health, the strength and courage to conquer the challenges of 2009.

Your approach is clear and inspirational to companies wanting to make the most of the opportunity that is there for everyone. The key is focusing on the basics, doing what you do best. Over the Christmas break we have been embracing the opportunity that is out there for our company and I wish BNI continued success in helping businesses develop to their full potential. BNI Connect is a great move and I hope that it will be up and running before the end of 2009. It is a brilliant idea and we want it now. I hope you have an exciting year. Best regards, Nik Williams, London, England Dear Dr Misner,
