The Complementary Aspects of Success and Achievement

To truly succeed and make a difference, we must embrace both sides of this idea.
“It’s work” is about the Importance of Showing Up.
“It works” is about the Power of Consistent Effort.

🏡 THINK ABOUT HOW MANY PROFESSIONALS ARE INVOLVED IN ONE HOME…

Take a home in the Brookside area of Tulsa.

There’s a Realtor. Mortgage lender. Insurance agent. Home inspector. Title company. Plumber. Electrician. HVAC company. Roofer. Painter. Landscaper. Flooring professional. Remodeler. Handyman. Pest control company. Cleaning company.

And the list keeps going.

Now imagine if those professionals actually knew each other, trusted each other, and intentionally referred business to one another.

That’s what we’re building in Brookside.

We’re bringing together quality professionals—one person per business classification—to create a strong referral network serving Brookside and the Tulsa community.

Interested in being one of the professionals at the table?

🏡 One home. Dozens of professionals. Imagine if they were all part of the same referral network.

❤️ BNI Gives Back was about IMPACT today.

Today, we had the opportunity to hear directly from nine incredible nonprofit organizations serving our communities:

❤️ Mighty Heart Warrior
🤟 Happy Hands Education Center
♻️ Electronic Synergy Foundation
🏠 Flourish Homes
💡 Light Ahead Foundation
❤️ Light of Hope
🏘️ Eden Village
🌱 The Spring
🛡️ The Demand Project

Each organization had the opportunity to share its mission, the people it serves, the challenges it is working to solve, and most importantly—the impact it is making in our community.

But today wasn’t just about giving nonprofits a few minutes to speak.

It was about putting their missions in front of a room full of people who can listen, connect, share their stories, make introductions, volunteer, donate, and open doors.

That’s when a network becomes about something much bigger than business.

A huge THANK YOU to every organization that shared with us, to The Demand Project for hosting us, and to everyone who showed up ready to learn how we can better support the organizations doing this important work.

Givers Gain® isn’t just about the business we pass. It’s about using our relationships, resources, and connections to make our communities stronger.

Today was a pretty great example of that. ❤️

Do you want Leads? or do you want Referrals?

Today was all about making sure we’re giving our chapters every possible advantage.

At today’s BNI Summit, we spent time collaborating on one important goal: helping our members maximize the technology that’s already at their fingertips.

From getting more value out of BNI+ to leveraging the tools available in BNI Connect, we’re continually looking for ways to help members build stronger relationships, sharpen their networking skills, and generate more quality referrals.

Technology doesn’t replace relationships—it strengthens them when used intentionally.
