On April 26-29, Dr. Ivan Misner visited the San Francisco Bay area as part of his book tour for the launch of his new book, "Masters of Success." While there, he addressed members, all of whom were quite impressed.
"I thought the presentation Dr. Misner did was fantastic," said Nick Tatro, Southern Marin chapter, "He's a great speaker, and even hearing what one might consider to be 'the same things' over again, it's always motivating and inspiring."
"Dr. Misner gifted me with a powerful take-away: apply uncommon effort to common knowledge," said Robert van de Walle, Accelerated Business Connections chapter. "That I already know everything the world's most successful people know about how to be successful—this was so liberating to me! Get ready, world, the doors to the limits of what I can do are getting blown off their hinges!"
Melanie Rosales, Best Networkers in Town chapter, said, "What an inspirational luncheon. Dr. Misner was fabulous! He is a wonderful speaker and very entertaining. Our entire chapter of 39 members enjoyed attending. Our 15 guests thanked us for the invitation; they really enjoyed the event. Thank you for such a motivating day."
"Having never met Dr. Misner nor heard him speak, I had no idea what to expect from his presentation in Petaluma," said Zach Mesel, Fountain Grove chapter. "What I got was a double-dose of humor and humanity as Dr. Misner related his adventures and misadventures in business and life. As a BNI member and small business owner who gets caught up in the intensity of the day-to-day grind, Dr. Misner's presentation was a much-needed reminder to focus on the fundamentals of business: never stop learning, never give up, never stop networking and never, ever take yourself to too seriously."
