			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a member of a professional<br />
business networking group, BNI:<br />
Business Networking International…<br />
<a href="http://www.bni.com/ " target="_blank">http://www.bni.com/ </a></p>
<p>With thousands of chapters, it’s<br />
the biggest networking group in the world.</p>
<p>So, why did I join earlier this year?</p>
<p>Here’s one reason:<br />
Last year BNI passed 5.6 million referrals,<br />
which generated over $2.3 billion dollars!</p>
<p>Yes…I wanted to, and continue to want to,<br />
grow my business.</p>
<p>But that’s not the real reason I joined…<br />
the REAL reason I joined was simply to<br />
make connections.</p>
<p>And I know, after all these years,<br />
the more connections I have,<br />
the more business I have,<br />
and the more money I make.</p>
<p>BUT…it wasn’t all about the money…nope!</p>
<p>I knew that BNI ran a “very tight ship”,<br />
meaning that they were structured<br />
and organized, and they challenged their<br />
members to “raise the bar” on themselves.</p>
<p>I needed that challenge…<br />
and I’m so happy I’ve taken it on.</p>
<p>BNI has extraordinary education programs and<br />
they have a system that operates under<br />
one simple formula: Givers Gain!</p>
<p>You know, like “Pay It Forward”,<br />
“You Reap What You Sow”, etc.</p>
<p>I like that because that’s how I run my business today.</p>
<p>For years I ran it the other way<br />
(or, better put, it ran me!):<br />
Go chase down the business and<br />
get as much as I could from it.</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with that model,<br />
but I found when I just simply<br />
do the “right thing” and<br />
give all I can, and<br />
be smart about my business,<br />
I am rewarded…abundantly!</p>
<p>PLUS, I am now getting ready to<br />
launch a new program –<br />
1M×3: 1 Million Times 3–<br />
that is based entirely on the<br />
Givers Gain philosophy.</p>
<p>1 Million Times 3:<br />
Sell 1 Million Books<br />
Raise $1 Million for Charity<br />
Donate 1 Million Books</p>
<p>(Read a brief overview at<br />
<a href="http://kendonaldson.com/1mx3/ " target="”_blank”">http://kendonaldson.com/1mx3/ </a>)</p>
<p>So I figured getting involved with<br />
an organization that promotes,<br />
practices and teaches the Givers Gain<br />
philosophy would be the<br />
place for me to be!</p>
<p>Plus, since I’ll need  many people involved to make this work,<br />
I knew that the people I meet in BNI would be the perfect<br />
people to make connections with!</p>
<p>So…I would like to personally invite YOU to a BNI meeting…<br />
Go to <a href="http://www.bni.com/ " target="”_blank”">http://www.bni.com/ </a>to find one near you…<br />
check it out…<br />
tell them Ken from Tampa, Florida sent you!</p>
<p>Better yet, if you live in the Tampa Bay area,<br />
I’d like to invite you out this Thursday (10/15), as I’ll be<br />
giving my 10 minute “Zero to Hero” talk.</p>
<p>Every week a couple members have the chance to<br />
share with the chapter how the chapter can<br />
best support them.</p>
<p>I plan to share a bit of my personal story<br />
(the VERY condensed version) and then share<br />
the 1M×3 program with the members and invite<br />
them to support the program.</p>
<p>Here’s our chapter info:<br />
<a href="http://bnisuccessmasters.com/ " target="”_blank”">http://bnisuccessmasters.com/ </a></p>
<p>If you can make it, that would be great…<br />
FYI: there is a small $5 fee for the room.</p>
<p>If you can’t, you’re welcome to come out any<br />
Thursday morning and check it out.</p>
<p>I’d love to have you join me.</p>
<p>Regardless, know this: Your Net Worth<br />
equals your Self Worth plus your Network.</p>
<p>Think about it!</p>
