During my educational moment tomorrow, I am going to introduce this concept and ask that we have an "act as if" meeting 1 or 2 weeks from now. I do agree that the props and accoutrements are the important essentials for this. Car keys, laptop,and/or blackberry with contacts galore, a tan, airline ticket facsimile, corporate minutes, jewelry representing new status in life including marriage or honor, name plate, picture of building, photo of self thinner or whatever. Would love to hear other ideas for props for this meeting. Thanks, Linda Johnson I am the Educational Coordinator for Platinum Producers in the Indianapolis area.

Believing that you will be what you believe you will be and having the vision are the teachings of "The Secret" and "The Law of Attraction". When I work with BNI Chapters that want to grow, I have them skip every other seat and put the name of the occupation they want to fill on the table in front of the empty seat. Every member selects an occupation that they want to have in the Chapter, and they report on their progress. If they can't fill the occupation, they pick a different one. This system believes that every member can bring in at least one new member and therefore, every member is successful. This process is both visually and emotionally positive. The room is set up as if the Chapter was doubled in size and each member knows that they can be successful in bringing in just one new member.
