Wow. This was a great interview!
This one-hour interview with Dr. Ivan Misner, the founder and CEO of BNI (Business Network International) the largest business networking organization in the world, is packed with powerful information for entrepreneurs and all Leading Edge Thinkers.

- Valuable insights about delegation and practical, powerful advice on how to get clear about what to delegate and how to make it happen.
- How a phone call from an unknown BNI member 4-years ago set in motion a series of events leading to his attendance at a private 5-day retreat with Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island (Branson’s private island).
- How he decides whether or not to say “yes” to an opportunity.
- His thoughts on how to integrate online marketing with face-to-face marketing.
- Why BNI is primarily a local network and focused on thinking globally and acting locally.
