Le Tip, BNI, NBPA, NBPA, whatever............    Whichever you belong, Business Organizations & their members need to take off  their blinders and take a hard look outside their organizations for help with their businesses. Don't be FORCED to buy within the organization that you belong to...yeah I know we all want to maximize our investment in these groups and buy from each other...BUT at what price in terms of time spent & real gain in sales volume? I have found that I pay more when I have bought within the group...so what I really gained? Figure out the time spent vs. your real NET gain in your business profit..........is this group really really worth it. Do your homework & go forward - don't just wear blinders ...look outside the group .....jmaybe, just maybe there's a better & more productive life on the outside.
