Attendance = Opportunity, Not Obligation

Week 4 · October 20 – October 24, 2025

Education Moment Script (3–5 minutes)

Good morning, BNI Family! 🙌

This week we’re focusing on Attendance = Opportunity, Not Obligation.

Some see attendance as a rule—but in BNI, it’s more than that. Attendance is showing up for opportunity. Every meeting you attend is a chance to:

  • Build visibility for your business
  • Deepen trust with fellow Members
  • Be present when someone issues a referral ask that fits you
  • Strengthen your credibility so people think of you first

When you’re absent, you don’t just lose your seat — you lose connection, momentum, and possibility.

Key reminders about attendance:

  • Regular presence = regular referrals. Being present consistently keeps you top of mind.
  • Subs help, but presence wins. A substitute can cover your seat, but they can’t replace your relationships or your voice.
  • Let attendance reflect reliability. When you are known for showing up, others know they can count on you—for referrals, partnership, and accountability.
  • Mind the ripple effect. Your absence sends messages — but your presence sends credibility.

Let’s shift mindset: You’re not just showing up to avoid something — you’re choosing to be where the opportunities are.
