Dr. Ivan Misner Featured in Seven New Shows

Seven shows featuring BNI's Dr. Ivan Misner have been launched on BNI's new Internet TV portal in association with yourBusinessChannel.com. All of them contain top tips from the networking guru, and are absolutely free to watch.

Dr. Misner appears alongside Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, Penny Power, co-founder of business networking site Ecademy, two dozen Internet legends, including Shel Israel (author of Naked Conversations) and David Meerman Scott (bestselling author and buzz marketing expert), as well as an impressive lineup of experts from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, and Microsoft.

Dr. Misner's new shows offer some of his top-shelf tips and secrets to help businesspeople to get more from networking. The shows have been put together to provide a no-nonsense, hard-hitting approach to key issues that businesspeople face. New shows are being launched every week with 20 shows available on the BNI Internet TV portal right now, and dozens more elsewhere on yourBusinessChannel.com.

yourBusinessChannel.com Editor Mark Sinclair says there is a great deal more to come: "This is just the tip of the iceberg. We're currently editing some amazing shows covering social networking, employer branding, increasing profitability and email marketing. All of these shows are based on viewer feedback, so you can be sure our editorial will be relevant to entrepreneurs globally. We're also working on three projects that will offer amazing opportunities to entrepreneurs. Watch this space."

yourBusinessChannel.com is currently syndicated to almost five million business people each month, and is set to continue growing swiftly during 2008. To access the BNI networking channel on yourBusinessChannel.com, follow this link.


Transform Your Business

Education is a cornerstone for BNI and a key differentiator for BNI from other referral or networking groups. BNI has literally thousands of educational materials available for members, including bestselling books by Dr. Misner, weekly podcasts by Dr. Misner, and the MSP training offered for all new members.

Beginning in February with BNI Minnesota, BNI is offering regional events that are focused on the launch of new BNI networking curriculum, BNI Networking Secrets. These events will offer a fun and energized environment that's a combination of skills training and trade show.

BNI is working with del Fuego to bring these events to the regions and offer new skills and new information specifically for entrepreneurs. Participants who attend receive an afternoon of training, the 3-CD series BNI Networking Secrets, and the opportunity to network and participate in a trade show with businesses from the region. These events can be a great value for a region and a great way to bring all chapters in a region together.

Some of the comments from the MN event include:
• "This seminar is not only the most interactive I've ever been to, it's also given me new information I can easily implement right away. I loved it."
• "This event was invaluable in helping me jumpstart some new things in my business this year."

On April 2, BNI Austin will hold their regional event at the same time as their BNI Member Extravaganza. The Austin event is co-hosted by the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber (GAHCC), bringing two well-known networking groups together for one event—BNI and GHACC. At this event participants will:
• Hear directly from Dr. Misner, the world's best source on how to build your business through referrals.
• Walk away with new skills and new information to increase their success.
• Receive BNI Networking Secrets, the world's first networking curriculum.
• Network with businesses from all over Central Texas.

For more information on how you can bring a regional event to your area, contact Beth Anderson, Assistant Director for BNI Minnesota, at beth@orgtrack.com.
