International Networking Week®:"100萬感謝週 "的故事，來自不同國際BNI領導人的 "百萬感謝 "故事
由BNI美國國家董事Tim Roberts提交
本週，BNI慶祝國際網絡週及其《百萬感謝你》倡議。這讓我想起了思考那些對我們生活產生重大影響的人是多麼重要，而這些影響在當時可能並不明顯。是誰幫助了你，讓你在看似微不足道的行動中，通過蝴蝶效應，永遠改變了你的事業或生活軌跡？
謝謝你，Seth Tebbetts
對我來說，Seth Tebbetts他是BNI在新罕布什爾州Nashua的BNI Power Partners分會的成員，也是Tebbetts保險事務所的老闆。早在2002年，Seth是另一家保險公司的招聘人員。他給了我一個機會去追逐我的創業夢想。Seth能夠幫助我看到無限的發展可能性，並幫助我面對不確定性的恐懼。如果不是Seth，我可能畢業後就會進入管理學專業。我知道我一定會很討厭這樣的生活，誰知道我的人生道路會走向何方。
當時因為父母的參與，我對BNI非常熟悉。然而，如果不是我決定和Seth一起工作，我也不可能成為BNI的會員。這個決定讓我走過了一條奇妙的道路：從一個掙扎的會員，到成功的會員，再到找到我對BNI的熱情，再到全職工作，再到成為一個擁有多家BNI加盟店的執行董事。現在，我是美國全國總監。雖然在這18年的旅程中，有無數人可以也應該感謝他們，但是是Seth幫助我邁出了第一步。當時，我們兩個人都不知道這就是我們的目標，但這不是重點。
一星期的100萬個感謝
我們所有人回想一下，感謝那些沒有他們，我們就不會有今天的成就。我經常和BNI成員交談，問他們：「他們最後一次感謝最初邀請他們參加分會的人是什麼時候？」我們也一定要感謝剛剛給我們推薦的人。然而，如果沒有最初的邀請，我們從BNI收到的每一個引薦都不會發生。
謝謝Seth，讓我信服我成為一名企業家。 感謝您幫助我參與，讓我的家人和我產生如此重大影響的組織。

International Networking Week®: “A Week of One Million Thank You’s” stories from various international BNI leaders
Submitted by Tim Roberts, National Director – BNI United States of America
This week, BNI celebrates International Networking Week and its Million Thank You initiative. It reminds me of how important it is to think about those who have made significant impacts on our lives that may not have been obvious at that moment in time. Who helped you with what may have seemed like an insignificant act that, through the butterfly effect, changed the course of your business or life forever?
Thank You, Seth Tebbetts
For me, it is Seth Tebbetts, a BNI member in the BNI Power Partners chapter in Nashua NH and owner of the Tebbetts Insurance Agency. Back in 2002, Seth was a recruiter for another insurance company. He gave me an opportunity to chase my dream of being an entrepreneur. Seth was able to help me see the possibility of unlimited growth and face the fears of uncertainty. If it were not for Seth I would have ended up in a management program after graduation. I know I would have hated this and who knows where my path would have led.
I was very familiar with BNI at the time because of the involvement of my parents. However, I would not have been able to become a member if I did not decide to go work with Seth. This decision led me down an amazing path: from a struggling member getting little results, to a successful member, to finding my passion for BNI, to working BNI fulltime, to becoming an Executive Director owning multiple franchises of BNI. Now, I am the U.S. National Director. While there are countless people who I can and should thank along this now 18-year journey, it is Seth who helped me take the very first step. There is no way either of us knew at the time that this is where it would all lead, but that is not the point.
A Week of One Million Thank You’s
I challenge all of us to think back and thank those whom without we would not be where we are today. I often speak to BNI members and ask them, “When was the last time they thanked the person who initially invited them to their chapter?” We also make sure to thank the person who just gave us a referral. However, without that initial invite, EVERY referral we have or will receive from BNI would never have happened.
Thank you, Seth, for convincing me to take the leap of faith to become an entrepreneur. Thank you for helping me be able to get involved in an organization that has made such an impact on my family and me.
Wishing everyone a fantastic International Networking Week® 2020!
Tim Roberts | National Director – BNI United States of America
