Gaurav Bhagat

Someone at BNI India National Conference today gave me a moment to share here.

Spotting my 14-year member badge, he smiled and said in Hindi:

“Sir, 14 saal mein to Ram ji ka bhi banwaas poora ho gaya tha…”
“Aap BNI mein kab tak rahoge?”

I smiled and then I thought about it.

Ram ji completed his 14-year banwaas and returned to claim his kingdom.

I’m not in exile.
I’m in compounding mode.

I believe in anything we do,
Year 1 you’re planting seeds you can’t see.
Year 5 you’re finally getting some traction.
Year 14 the fruits don’t just arrive.
They accelerate and come in abundance.

The referrals I get today, the trust I’ve built, the relationships that open doors, none of it would be here if I’d quit at year 3, year 7, or year 10 when it “felt like enough.”

This is not the time to leave BNI.
This is the time to double down.

Most people abandon things right before compounding kicks in.

Their business. Their relationships. Their craft. Their network.

They mistake longevity for comfort, maybe even complacency.

Sometimes the smartest thing you can do isn’t walk away, it’s going deeper.

The picture on stage was from a short while ago in Jaipur where the Academy was acknowledged as a Gold sponsor to the INC.

What’s something you almost quit and you’re glad you didn’t?

Grateful to , and for all the opportunities and visibility over the years.

Quite an adventure for the 17 of us from who were stranded on the game reserve and finally a helicopter evacuation was needed. Good fun and great conversations amongst everyone there. Disappointed to not get out on the game reserve more … but there’s always next time.

I think it was a few years ago on a flight to Mumbai from Delhi when my com passenger asked me … so what do you do ? That’s how this acronym came to be. Think is summarises the person I am and the things I do pretty well. Just curious have you ever thought about creating something like this for yourself and if so, do share.

It was an honour to host NND Dubey sir on today. The man took 7 bullets and still walked down 3 flights of stairs after killing India’s most wanted terrorist and the man behind numerous militant strikes in Delhi and Kashmir. Amazing conversation on so many different facets. Watch out for the full episode in a few weeks.

The conversation on with of truly left me enriched. Brilliant products matched with great purpose and the right intention is a cocktail for breakthrough success. Episode out in 3 weeks.
