BNI is a great platform for getting more leads and referrals. But look closely. I see BNI Rendezvous to be much much more than that. This chapter has helped its members to grow and evolve as individuals.

BNI's philosophy is "Givers Gain". I really love it because it perfectly reflects and says what word-of-mouth or referrals should be all about, or any business in general. You give, you will get in return. We all know it, yet, it is sometimes difficult for us to unconditionally give.

In BNI Rendezvous, we should give 2 main things - referrals & testimonials. To give referrala, especially qualified referrala, you actually have to work for it and then you give it away. It is a very high level of giving. To be able to do that, we need to practice our givers' mindset every single day. We can practice by giving...Giving simple things that will cost us nothing, yet will improve our business and our life. These practices will prepare us in becoming true givers.

Here are 50 things you can give on a daily basis to practice your Giver's mindset. Forget about getting, that will come naturally and automatically, sooner or later.
