🤝 Cheryl Marks Young of Creative Blueprints shared her BNI purpose. Since joining in 2018, she has watched her business grow while developing long-term friendships and valuable business alliances. She loves BNI’s “I’ve got a guy or gal” mentality and always has someone trusted to recommend.

💡 Robyn Ross of Ross & Calandrillo presented the Education Moment based on BNI Podcast Episode 965, “Delay Success or Accelerate Failure.” The message: networking is not a quick-win strategy; lasting success comes from consistently investing time in relationships, 1-to-1s, trust, and education. As Robyn explained, “When you plant seeds, they take time to grow.” The same is true in BNI—strong relationships eventually produce strong referrals.
