SuccessNet from BNI

Today's networking groups are a substitute for strong extended family. In the past business networking was done through networks made primarily from family and close friends. One dynamic aspect of today's culture is the level to which peer groups become more influencing than kinship groups.

However, you can see the development as an opportunity for wise family leaders. If you look closely, you will see these are organization which can be braided with family. They are groups where a family with diverse occupations can employ entrepreneurial techniques. Techniques that were once reserved for the families that either shared occupations or shared a stake in the family business.

What can be learned from them?

• They ask their members to contribute their relationships.
• They find ways to meet regularly as a group. To meet they use either a common place, teleconferencing or on the internet.
• The group is aimed at growing the influence of the group to the benefit of each member.
• The best networking groups are supportive of each members personal growth.
• The group has a stake in each members growth.
• The group has an expectation of longevity.

Contribution, Growth, Unity and Longevity are the legs which networking groups rest upon.
