Is Your Chapter an "Enthusiasm-Free Zone"?

You may wonder sometimes about others' level of enthusiasm in networking groups. Maybe you're stuck in an 'enthusiasm-free zone'.

What's that? It's a sign hanging on a wall with a black and yellow border, like a warning sign. It states something like this:

Notice
Enthusiasm Free Zone

Absolutely no activities that promote enthusiasm
in the chapter are permitted in this area.

These activities include, but are not limited to:

• Telling success stories about referrals you’ve either given or received

• Gushing about how much you enjoyed last month’s luncheon or social

• Cheerleading about AmSpirit Business Connections

• Talking about ‘networking’ as if it is a living entity

• Discussing how much your business has been impacted through networking and referrals

It’s not that we’re negative. It’s just that we’re here because our company pays for it. Enthusiasm costs extra!
