<h3>Summary of education minutes</h3>
<p>Life is like coffee.  The cup does not make the coffee any better. And yet we all run after the best looking / most expensive cup.  The cup, of course, is the metaphor for worldly possessions that don&#8217;t matter in the grand scheme of things &#8211; huge house, flashy cars, famous friends, jewelry, the works! What matters is the coffee i.e. the happiness and satisfaction of the soul; the ability to give, to help and to be good; the love of people in your life for who you are, not what you own.</p>
<p><strong>Best 60 Seconds: </strong><strong>Karen Wadia</strong></p>

<h3>Weekly Statistics:</h3>
<p>4 visitors (3 new)<br />

<h3>Summary of education minutes</h3>
<p>Affirmation has a strong direct influence on what our experiences (what we call &#8220;reality&#8221;).<br />
The 2 simple yet powerful affirmations for prosperity are:<br />
“My income is constantly increasing” and “I prosper wherever I turn”</p>
<p><strong>Best 60 Seconds: Ariff</strong></p>
<p><strong>Show Case:  Presented by Brendan Yong (BNI Ambassador to Crescendo)</strong></p>
<p>Main Points:<br />
Grow or Die – if we are not growing, we will eventually stagnant, move backwards, and die.<br />
Give or Die – BNI is about giving. We have to be willing to give to keep it moving forward. Without the action of giving, there is no meaning in our organization.</p>
<p>3 Tips for Effective Business Collaborations</p>
<ol>
<li>Collaborate with partners serving in a complementary industry or who share the same market as you.</li>
<li>If your partner gives more to you than you can give to him, consider giving a referral fee to balance out the giving.</li>
<li>If you are in a marketing or related business which can help the other partner expand their business, consider exchanging your services for a share of the profits from the collaboration.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Weekly Statistics:</h3>
<p>Referrals : 20<br />
Visitors : 2<br />
Done deal : $346.00</p>
