Episode 228: The Myth of Overnight Success

October 26th, 2011

Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed

Synopsis

Many people who attend Dr. Misner’s keynote presentations congratulate him on his “overnight” success—which took more than 20 years of hard work. Very few people achieve success overnight, and even fewer can hang on to it. How many one-hit musicians are there? Sustaining success over time takes continuous work. Mark Twain claimed it took three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. Even people who seem to achieve success overnight have usually been working in obscurity for years.

You can watch Dr. Misner’s speaker’s reel and read more about overnight success on the Business Networking Blog.

Tell us what success means to you in the comments.

Episode 190: “International Networking Week 2011”

Synopsis

BNI’s fifth annual International Networking Week starts on February 7th. The purpose of International Networking week is to recognize the role that networking plays in the success of businesses around the world. BNI works in partnership with interested organizations to celebrate this program globally.

Watch this YouTube video to learn about the “networking disconnect.” People don’t go to networking events to buy. If you’re going to networking events hoping to sell something, you’re dreaming. It happens about as often as a solar eclipse.

Master networkers know that networking events are about moving through the VCP process, not about closing deals. Use International Networking Week to improve your connections with your referral partners.
