WBE Canada’s Post

Who’s building the CEO/Founder membership network for Canada? - Target founders/CEOs of a certain scale (>$1M or >$5M annual rev) - Host curated dinners, workshops, ski trips, and retreats into the great Canadian wilderness - Run the next large format tech/biz conference now that Collision Conf is gone - Form a lobby coalition to influence the Canadian gov’t to form favorite policies for Canadian entrepreneurs - Charge $5k/year for membership for access to the community, events, and online platform - Build a media business on top of it (the Founders pod, but for Canada) - Build a ticket + sponsorship-driven events biz on top of it - Create an expert network for CEOs, similar to Intro but for longer-form engagements Cultural and social dynamics are different enough from the US for this to have demand, yet similar enough to to export a proven biz model.

What a fantastic experience at the annual joint mixer, bringing together outstanding businesses from the Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce, Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce , Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce, and WestShore Chamber of Commerce ! A huge thank you to Bruce Williams, CEO of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce, for the warm hospitality, and to Inderbir Singh from Western Canada Security for including me in this event. I’m excited to stay connected with this dynamic group. Business chambers in smaller communities are vital for driving economic growth and empowering local businesses. Here’s how they make a difference: 👉🏼 NETWORKING: Chambers connect local business owners, fostering collaborations and partnerships that fuel mutual growth. 👉🏼 ADVOCACY: They represent the collective voice of the business community, influencing policies that support economic prosperity. 👉🏼 EDUCATION: Chambers provide essential workshops and training, equipping business owners with the skills needed to thrive. 👉🏼 PROMOTION: Through targeted campaigns and events, chambers boost the visibility of local businesses, encouraging community support. 👉🏼 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Chambers attract new businesses and investments, driving job creation and long-term growth. 👉🏼 STARTUP SUPPORT: New businesses receive crucial guidance and resources, helping them establish a strong foundation. 👉🏼 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Chambers organize events that foster pride and boost local commerce. 👉🏼 MEMBER BENIFITS: Members gain access to valuable discounts, marketing opportunities, and resources that enhance business efficiency. If you haven’t joined your local chamber yet, I highly recommend checking it out. It could be the key to unlocking new opportunities for your business and contributing to your community's vitality. #BusinessGrowth #ChamberOfCommerce #EconomicDevelopment #SmallBusinessSupport #CommunityEngagement

🌟 Beyond Limits: A New Year’s Message to the BNI Ireland Community 🌟 🫶 As we begin 2025, I am reminded of a story about setting out on a journey. Imagine a path stretching before you… lots of unknowns, a future filled with both promise and uncertainty. The journey is not without its challenges: storms to weather, mountains to climb, and unforeseen detours. Yet, with every step, you grow stronger, more resilient, and more determined to reach your destination. 🤝 This journey is not unlike the one we embark on together this new year in BNI. In 2024, we saw incredible connections formed, businesses transformed, and lives changed through the power of networking. But as we look ahead to 2025, the theme is beyond. Beyond what we thought was possible. Beyond limits. Beyond expectations. 🙏 Challenges will arise, every great journey has them, but they are the proving ground for our strength and determination. Together, as 500+ members strong in BNI Ireland, we have a unique advantage: a community of like-minded professionals who share the belief that “givers gain”. 💥 This year, I challenge each of us to go beyond in three ways: 1. Beyond our comfort zones, embracing new opportunities to grow. 2. Beyond our goals, setting new benchmarks for member success. 3. Beyond ourselves, lifting others up as we climb together. ❤️ May 2025 be a successful year full of resilience, perseverance, and unparalleled rewards. Thank you for being part of this incredible business community. Together, we’ll make this year one for the history books. Wishing you all a prosperous, inspiring, and fulfilling New Year. 🙌 Here's to going beyond! #HappyNewYear #BNIIreland #BeyondLimits #NetworkingJourney #BNImembers #GiversGain #Beyond
