BNI has come a long way in the 35 years since it was born as The Network, and Dr. Misner has written a number of books since this, his first; although there have been a few tweaks in his formula for networking for success in that time (like making a distinction between leads and referrals) and we’re now solidly in the Internet age, the formula is as relevant today as it was then.

Congratulations on 35 years of BNI!
