Synopsis

Brian Silverio from BNI Miami Beach joins Dr. Misner to share his humorous signs that you might be a BNI member.

You might be a BNI member if…

• You understand that a Dance Card doesn’t involve any dancing.
• You wake up before the paper gets to your home.
• You ever woke up in the night in a cold sweat because you didn’t have a referral for someone.
• You’ve eaten more lunches with your region’s executive director than your own spouse.
• You stop talking mid-sentence when you hear a bell ring.
• Your mom tells you she needs your help and you start thinking of ways to make a referral out of it.
• You limit what your children can say at the dinner table to one of three things.
• On December 24th, you tell your children the story of Ivan Misner and how he created BNI.
• You think the term “Traffic Lights” applies to something besides the highway code.
• You hear the phrase “Visitors’ Day” and you don’t think about going to see your uncle in prison.
• You hear the name BNI Trusted Source, BNI Creators, BNI Revival, or BNI Pioneers, and you don’t think of a cult.
• You’ve rescheduled a doctor’s appointment because of a BNI meeting.
• You’ve dropped your kids off at school early so you could get to your chapter meeting on time.
• You’re part of an organization with over 6200 chapters, 145,000+ members in almost 50 different countries, passing over 6.9 million referrals, resulting in $3.1 billion in business–you’re definitely in BNI.
