Goal number three, now a reality!

What is my recipe for success?

Ingredients:
3 cups of integrity
3 cups of relationship building
2 cups of purpose
1 cup of enthusiasm
1 cup of trust
1 cup of perseverance
1 cup of resilience
5 cups of fun

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Grease a baking tray with intention, lay the mixture and bake in 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Voila! The timer rings and the goodies are ready to serve.

The finished product: A published article about Business Network International (BNI) entitled “Gaining by giving”, pages 12, 14 and 16 of this month’s issue (June 2007) of Entrepreneur Philippines magazine (with my picture in it).

As a star performer, goal setting is a crucial part of the process. In August of 2006, I enrolled in the Prosperity Coaching Program of Millionaire Anonymous, Inc. headed by Mr. Tim Bennett of Argon Animation and was part of Team 1. I remembered listing down 101 goals. I reviewed my notes and I was blown away! Goal number three jumped out of the list – “To be featured in a business magazine.” At that time, I had no clue as to how it was going to happen. As they say, “be careful of what we wish for because we might just get it.” Such is the magic and importance of writing goals. The universe seems to conspire and move people, events, and circumstances that create synchronicities towards the fulfillment of my dreams and ideals. Al Argo, a Singapore-based shared me his interesting poem about why we should write them down (see earlier post entitled “Al Argo in Action”).

The author of the article, Joseph Pardo (now Harvest Chapter Educational Minute Coordinator) was already featured in the June 2006 issue and he talked about his involvement in their family business Special Steel Products Inc. This opportunity for Business Network International’s (BNI) in the Entrepreneur Philippines magazine cannot be missed at all. Marie Ann Fajardo, our interviewer from the publication visited us in one of the Harvest chapter meetings. We also set a schedule for the pictorial and was rendered by At Maculangan. Now that the ingredients are complete, the finished product is hot off the press. I attribute this manifestation to the power of connection and “givers gain”-what we sow we reap, plus, what you see represents about two decades of friendship between us.

    Hi Edlynn,

    It was wonderful meeting you again at our recent conference. You have a super blog and I enjoy reading it. I’m impressed by your boundless energy, charisma and vision for BNI in your country. BNI seeks quality members and attracts business professionals who enjoy helping fellow business people succeed. BNI also needs outstanding go-getters as leaders. You are that person, and it gives me great pleasure to work with you and your team to make BNI in the Philippines “the” networking organisation every business-hungry entrepreneur must belong to.

    Referrals in BNI – indeed, there’s plenty for everyone!
