In the front left corner of the room, a banner proclaimed this four-way test. As I read it over, I realized we subconsciously apply this test to all of our deals. Now we can apply it consciously.
My friend and insurance agent Carolyn Henderson has been trying for some time to drag me to the local Rotary Club meeting. Like almost everyone, I grew up hearing the phrase “Rotary Club,” and I knew they had something to do with business. So I recognized the invitation as a good networking opportunity, but I put it off for two long. Sometimes I still have trouble recognizing myself as a business leader instead of just another cog in the wheel.
Well, I finally broke down and went one of the weekly meetings. Boy was I surprised.
The Rotary Club is a great networking opportunity. In fact, that’s their primary objective.
FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service…
Think about that for a minute. “The Development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.” They mean service to the community, both local and world. I was astounded. Community service is one of Hermit Haus Redevelopment’s core values. I had stumbled into a group of business leaders who thought the same way I do, that we should use our positions to the benefit of others. As I have previously said, “Heart makes this business worthwhile. Money just makes it possible.”
I haven’t joined yet. What do you think? Should I?
