Team Work, Makes the Dream Work

From January 2014


Happy New Year!  Are you ready for the New Year?  Did you make any resolutions/goals?  Do you have a plan and or a vision for the outcome?

A New Year brings a new slate, New beginnings, New Goals, and hopefully New better outcomes.

I watched the BCS Championship game and even though I'm an SEC fan, I was pulling for Florida State.  I guess because Auburn upset Georgia in the regular season.  It was one of the best games I've seen in a long time.

Here's an article from The Washington Post about the game and what happened at half time in the locker room - Click Here to read it.

There were lots of lessons to be learned from this coach and team.  Here are some of the things I noted:

- Their coach gave them the vision to picture the outcome
- Even though they were down at halftime, they re- grouped and re-focused on the simple fundamentals that got them there.
They worked as a Team towards the same goal

Results - BCS National Champions

So what does this have to do with BNI you ask?

I believe that in order for a Chapter to grow and be successful, it takes a plan, goals, and a vision.

It takes Every team member's commitment to work as a team to make the plan in order to make the goals that of the vision.

It takes Every Team member working on the basic fundamentals that BNI has had in place for over 25 years.

When the Team is on the field, it's up to them to carry out the basic fundamentals. 

So as this new year starts, I challenge you, as a Team Player, to get back to the fundamentals and commit to do your part to make your Chapter Championship material.
