- Put up your hand if you've met some cool entrepreneurs.
Put up your hand if you've met someone
that you never want to talk to again.
(laughing)
Thank you for your honesty!
Very nice!
And you know what?
I don't blame you,
I don't blame you.

- So, there's something very, very, very
strange about our group.
Most business group, or networking, or meet-up,
most people when the meet-up is finished
they leave immediately.
Our group, sometimes we go quite late,
9:00 p.m, 9.30 p.m., people don't leave.
10:30 p.m., 11:00 p.m.
It's crazy, people like every single time
the staff has to kind of kick us out,
and then we go.
So there's something very strange about our group,
and I pride that I would argue that we have
one of the, I would not say highest quality
you know, that's kinda braggadocious
but the one of the highest quality group,
a business group, in Vancouver.
Do you know why?
(audience member shouts out)
Partially.
(audience member shouts out)
No partially, but why?
- [Audience member] Referrals.
- Referrals, yes.
And, also, it's also a lot, of the rules that we have.
Because, it's a commitment to get here.
It's downtown, you gotta park, right?
It's Vancouver club, you gotta dress in business.
It's a bitch!
(laughing)
I mean, it's a lot of work.
But that is what is good.
It's something you gotta think about.
Well, (sucks) do I want to attend?
Okay, I gotta drive, gotta park, and I've gotta dress up.
I gotta be ready, you're gonna meet people.
It's a commitment, can you see that?
- [Audience members] Yes.
- That's why it's good, it filters out the wannabees.
It filters out the people who are not committed.
So, I mean you have to be pretty committed,
pretty ambitious, and growth-orientated.
Show up, some of you after work, yes?
- [Audience members] Yes.
- Long day of work, drive here, park,
get ready, listen to three hours of Dan.
(laughing)
And then meet people, and then go home quite late
when you get home.
And for the ladies, go home,
you gotta, you know, your make-up, right?
And a shower, you don't sleep until,
like, 12:00 a.m., or 1:00 a.m.
So, you know, my wife takes two hours, right?
So, I know how long it takes.
So, it's a commitment.
So, anyone that's here, I mean, I acknowledge you for it.
Because most people, I always say to people,
it's easy, it's somehow some of the most important things
in life, like exercise, easy to do, easy not to do.
Anybody can show up, easy not to show up.
With now over 1,500 members.
On the average we have 100 people at each meeting.
I always wonder, how come we don't have 1,000 people?
Now that's about right,
because sometimes life gets in the way, yes?
Other commitments, sometimes it would be like
"Ahh, you know what, I'm not interested in that topic.
"Maybe, I'll attend next time.
"When the topic, kinda, resonates more with me."
How many of you are here tonight
because you're interested in getting more referrals?
Right?
And, let me give you a big tip.
That's not actually a very good way
to decide what you want to learn.
Because, very often in business,
we have what I call a tunnel vision, this is what we see.
And very often, the problem that we think
is the problem, is not the problem.
Break it down, I'll say it again.
Very often the things that we think
is the problem, usually, is not the problem.
So, when you are looking for solution,
you have a very fixed idea,
of, I think my problem is this!
So, I want to learn things that will help me do this!
Instead of being open-minded,
and actually, attend some things that,
well you know what, you know this workshop
would be actually more beneficial
to people who are already getting a lot of referrals.
Not people who are not getting enough.
Because it would help them refine their approach.
That's why one of the habits I have,
I would, you know, go to a magazine rack,
and, you know, in a supermarket,
I would buy magazines that I don't typically read.
Gardening, or you know, some mechanic magazine.
Something like totally, like just out of the, or you know,
National Enquirer, how many of you read National Enquirer?
That would, put up your hand in a minute.
(laughing)
Okay, I do, I just read through different things.
What are some of the lady magazines?
Give me some examples.
(audience member shouts)
Yep, yep, Vogue, right?
Those types of things, out of the box stuff,
because it gives me out of box ideas.
