BNI Educational delivered on 20 September 2012 at BNI Boulevard in Melbourne on investing the right amount of time in BNI to get the best return on your investment.

1. You get out...
what you put in

2. Q. Why BNI?

3. To make
more money

4. More questions…
• Are you doing enough by just
attending the weekly meetings?
• How many people spent more
than 1hr on BNI-related activities in
the last week? More than 2hrs?
More than 3hrs?
• How many of you actually had
that time booked in?

5. “I’m too busy…”
Lock it in!

6. So how much time?
• Dancecards > 1 hr
• Follow-up on 60sec > 30-60 mins
• Contact client or friend > 30 mins
• Prepare 10 min preso > 4 hrs
• Prepare 60sec preso > 15 mins
• Engage on LinkedIn > 15 mins
Total = 3hrs per week

7. Sanity check
3hrs per week + weekly meeting
= 250hrs per year
@ min. $50 per hour
= $12,500 or ~$1k per month

8. Take aways…
1. Book in 2-3hrs per week
2. Promote what you achieved in
your 2-3hrs each week
3. Givers gain
4. The more you put in, the more
you will get out

9. “Nothing ever comes
to one, that is worth
having, except as a
result of hard work.”
Booker T. Washington
