It's time to check up on your network. Here are important questions to ask yourself.

Words of Wisdom from Brian Tracy.

This month's topic: "Overcoming Adversity."

"10 Ways to Build a Positive Mental Attitude" by Dieter Pauwels.

Yes, times are tough, but you can "toughen up" - and enjoy the ride - by making sure your attitude is positive.

Plus, breaking news, chapter updates from around the world, and testimonials from members like you.

International Networking Week
This year the week of February 2nd - 6th

To celebrate and support International Networking Week, BNI regions across the world are holding special events, we are doing a BNI Big Breakfast in each region.

We will be holding a Big Breakfast in Kent on Monday 2nd Feb 7.00 - 9.00am, where we hope as many of you as possible will come together for breakfast and an excellent networking opportunity, YOU ARE ALL WELCOME and ENCOURAGED TO BRING VISITORS TOO. We are very pleased that Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce will be inviting their members to this joint event. We thank them for supporting us.

Why not invite top community leaders, your best customers and top suppliers and those who are almost never normally invited to a BNI meeting, to come and see not only what it is that BNI does, but how we are changing the face of the business world with grassroots business networking! Inviting top community leaders to come and celebrate International Networking Week will expose them to BNI and our philosophy of "Givers Gain," it will create community and strategic connections for BNI Members, and continue to build the BNI brand. So start sending out invitations now!

The agenda for the meeting will depend on the numbers we have involved on the day, but will certainly be Networking focused; getting your message out to other businesses across Kent. Dr. IVAN MISNER will be taking the 10 minute slot (by DVD, not in person, sorry !!!), and we will have one or two other guest speakers.
