Your attitude determines your altitude. When things are a bit down a positive approach is the best medicine. My glass is always half FULL, never half empty.

Yes this is a great article. One of the way to deal with this is explain clearly during New Member Orientation or MSPs, that the purpose of One-Minute presentation is to achieve new targets.

If facing a challenge say business is slow or etc, then should speak to a mentor member completely off-line, else credibility will be eroded.

So right that when people hear we complain, they will start to look for escape routes!

Riyaz, BNI Area Director, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

That is exactly why the BNI system is designed to be 100% positive, and why successful Chapters are exactly that. Thank you for this great post.

Frederick, National Director BNI Australia

If you put out negative vibes – that is what you will attract. I have seen it in action in a BNI meeting also – someone joins a group of people and starts complaining – be it about the weather, the economy – whatever, and it is almost as though others feel compelled in someway to add to the misery – and before you know it the energy of the entire group is being dragged down. Smile – and the whole word smiles with you 🙂
