This past week, i did a lot of business networking. and of course, i took some ideas from the best people and in the best place. I attended a Business Breakfast at 6h45 on Friday with BNI Innovation (one the Portuguese chapters in Portugal). I had a great meeting with a lot of contacts and a close look on how this organization is shaping to become a powerful and highly successful worldwide. The growth of BNI has been quite impressive!
