They operate in a friendly environment with a culture of support. They have more members than average and enforce accountability. In this phase, chapters have become somewhat complacent. They might or might not follow suggestions from their executive directors. The members have lost their enthusiasm.

The only way that you can hit goals that you set are to track your performance. When it comes to business, knowledge truly is power. If you track performance and you track progress, you are on the road to success. The idea, then, is that you make nominal changes as you go along. You put on your GPS. You are driving along. Turn around. Go here. It tells you there is a problem here. You know, you have been absent too much. You are not present. Too many subs. It is a way of tracking that plus, of course, the number of referrals given or received.

These are the kinds of things that track performance and progress and put you on the road to success.

I actually get a daily report, daily report, on the number of members in the organization. Ivan : Yeah. I can tell you as of the recording- I have it sitting right here in front of me. It came in this morning. As of this recording, we have , members worldwide.

Ivan : It is a lot. We have 7, chapters worldwide. And I get this every single day, and I look at it every single day. So this keeps track of where they are landing, how are we as an organization doing? That and other numbers, not just these. The total number of referrals, the thank you for closed business. You know, we know that we passed 7 million referrals in We know that we generated 9. It is a way to enable you to be proactive versus reactive. Then chapters start struggling.

Wait a minute- why are they struggling? Why are we struggling? What is going on? What happened? We all like each other a lot but we are struggling. Well, chances are pretty good that someone is not on top of the numbers. I really believe that you get the experience that you strive for. You get the experience that you strive for. So if you are on top of your numbers as a chapter and you can continually be making course adjustments like a GPS system. You are going to do well. It is more than busywork.

It is about achieving success. You know, I went to 10 years of college. I was accepted to Occidental College. I came from a reasonably lower slightly middle class family.

I knew I was going to go to graduate school. I always really felt like I was going to go to graduate school, so I knew I was going to be in debt up to my ears. So I turned down a scholarship from Occidental College. Ivan : No. I did go to a private school eventually, but I first went to community college. It was a little community college.
