Mr. Ho Quang Minh emphasized, "It is everyone's fault that our business is small. The objective of BNI over the next three years will be to enhance leadership and enhance service. All large companies began as small businesses, individuals, or households. This audience will hopefully have $1 billion shortly. I applaud the global expansion of our regional BNI brothers and sisters.

The President of BNI Vietnam shared his feelings upon arriving in Thanh Hoa to attend a business event, given that the economy is experiencing many difficulties and businesses are "sick" The 2023 reunion of Entrepreneur Thanh - Nghe - Tinh takes place at a time when businesses are experiencing many difficulties, workers are losing their jobs, and business owners are losing the companies they spent years building. Today in Thanh Hoa, I am ecstatic to see that you guys are extremely united and working together to overcome this difficulty. It is the efforts of each member that contribute to the enhancement of their business. May the difficult economic times be merely a blip on the horizons of those with longer and longer horizons. I have visited Thanh Hoa for several years, and my most recent visit revealed that the city's development conditions have improved significantly, more young people have started businesses, and its infrastructure system, especially its traffic, is comparable to that of other cities. big.

Mr. Dinh Van Tao, Regional Director of BNI Thanh - Nghe - Tinh, expressed his sentiments upon his return to Thanh Hoa in 2023 for the regional business meeting.

After nine years of establishment and growth, I've observed that members of BNI Thanh - Nghe - Tinh who are beginning to conduct business are all attempting to resolve issues in the market, finance, and human resources. However, our lack of business knowledge is our greatest limitation. We also attend school frequently, but our professional knowledge is primarily theoretical and deficient in practical skills. Therefore, when we shake hands, we feel confused. On the other hand, the company is extremely closed, knows only itself, and rarely shares. This is due to the fear of revealing secrets, the fear of competitors, and the presence of numerous other fears in the market, all of which encourage closeness. This has hindered the expansion of the business, even "squeezing" it.

When BNI reached the area, it reiterated that everyone should connect, support one another, and give to one another. Many businesses initially questioned this philosophy, but after implementing it, they believe that if there is an expanded connection, synergy will develop, resulting in growth and expansion. The philosophy of "Giving is receiving" is increasingly ingrained in BNI members.

Companies frequently tell one another that they are extremely lonely. Because when businesses encounter difficulties, they do not want to burden their families with additional stress and strain, but when businesses collaborate, they can share everything. Share with friends on BNI so they can work together to solve problems and achieve success.

"I like the strong and decisive Thanh Hoa brothers. Freedom Chapter has the most members and the best connections within BNI Thanh Nghe Tinh at present. We believe that you should organize this event. Mr. Dinh Van Tao emphasized that BNI with the slogan "Better Together" will truly be a bonding environment where members help each other practically by promoting their internal and external resources.

BNI's leadership in the Thanh - Nghe - Tinh region honored individuals and groups who have made significant contributions to the development of BNI in the region over the past few years. Honors include the Notworker Honours Category, the Gold Member Honours Category, the category of members who have given away quality relationships for mutual development, and the category of members who have resided at BNI for at least five years.

According to BNI members, guests, and local businesses, this is an emotional reunion, bringing together knowledge, initiative, experience, and elite wisdom to unite the community. The reach of BNI Thanh - Nghe - Tinh co-entrepreneurs has expanded.
