Some months ago, I decided to re-join BNI for the second time.

I was once part of a different chapter and it was a reasonably good experience.

After 14 years of owning a mostly successful marketing agency, we unfortunately had to close the doors.

This led to significant financial hardship and personal challenges that even for someone who has lived a highly energetic and positive life, seemed impossible to overcome.

However, when I started Tough Wolf Detailing, I managed to pluck up the confidence to reach out to Simon Derrick-Roberts; that meeting turned my life around.

Having been invited previously to BNI Business Leaders by my wonderful accountant Catherine Greven, I decided the culture of this chapter would be best suited to my circumstances.

I was right.

Not only did I recover my investment in the first few weeks, but if not for the faith and support shown by SDR, Cathy, Chantel and all the other amazing members of BNI BL, I doubt I would have recovered from what has been the worst few years I’ve ever had.

This group has restored my faith in humanity and helped to re-build my life.

I’m forever thankful.

I have been a member of BNI for 10yrs now.  I started the day i started my business.  Being a franchisee, I don't have the support or expertise of others around me.  But with BNI I have over 60 people on my marketing team and people to ask for advise and support.
Over 85% of my business comes from BNI, but the biggest thing that surprised me was the personal growth.  I became confident in talking about my business, networking, presentations and growing my business.
I now own 2 franchises and have a staff member as well.  I am now focusing on working more on the business than in the business, which I never dreamt about doing when I first started.
Highly recommend joining but give it at least 2 yrs before you assess how you are going.
Also, you only get out of it what you put in.  Go ahead and give it a go you might surprise yourself.

BNI Adelaide CBD & South has been an absolute game-changer for my business. The supportive community of like-minded professionals is second to none, and the referral network is both genuine and powerful. Every week I walk away with new connections, fresh ideas, and real opportunities to grow my business.

What I value most is that it feels like a community I can truly rely on—people who want to see each other succeed and are always there to support. It’s more than just networking; it’s about building real, lasting relationships.

Highly recommend to any business owner who wants to grow their business and be part of a community that has your back.

I’ve been a member of BNI Coastal SA for the past 2 years, and it’s been a game-changer for my business. The weekly meetings are always well-structured, on time, and packed with high-quality referrals. The leadership team keeps everyone engaged with clear agendas, meaningful training moments, and spot-on one-to-one coaching.
What really stands out is the genuine support and accountability among members. I’ve received over dozens qualified referrals so far, and I’m on track to double my monthly revenue thanks to the connections I’ve made here. Beyond business, BNI SA feels like a tight-knit community—people celebrate your wins, challenge you to grow, and introduce you to exactly the right contacts when you need them.
If you’re serious about expanding your network and generating consistent, quality leads, I can’t recommend BNI Coastal SA highly enough!

I’ve recently renewed my membership with BNI Adelaide, and that in itself says a lot. Being part of this network has been one of the most consistent and valuable drivers of growth for my business. The accountability, structure, and support you get from fellow members is unlike any other networking platform I’ve come across.

Joining BNI was a real eye-opener for me. It helped me see my business from a completely different perspective – not just in how I generate referrals, but also in how I build relationships, communicate my value, and run my day-to-day operations. It’s challenged me to think more strategically and grow as both a business owner and a leader.

If you’re serious about growing your business and want to surround yourself with like-minded professionals who are there to support your journey, I can’t recommend BNI Adelaide enough.

I’ve been a BNI member for over 20 years now – 12 here in Adelaide and 9 before that in the UK. Safe to say, I’m a bit of a lifer. BNI Adelaide South & CBD has been a brilliant part of my business journey – offering more than just referrals. It’s a community, a sounding board, and sometimes even a lifeline when you’re deep in the trenches of running a business.

Yes, there are a lot of early mornings (and a lot of coffee!), but it’s genuinely worth it. And if you’re not a fan of alarm clocks, the great news is that BNI now offers other options – online-only chapters, mid-morning groups, and plenty of ways to get involved that suit your schedule.

If you’re looking to grow your business, build real relationships, and not feel like you’re doing it all on your own – this is the place to start.

BNI has been instrumental in helping me form incredible connections and collaborations that I couldn’t have imagined on my own. The environment is not only about growing your business, it’s about aligning with like-minded individuals who see possibility where others see limitation. Each conversation, each meeting sparks new ideas, partnerships, and pathways forward.

What I love most is how BNI creates a space where contribution is at the centre. You find yourself surrounded by people who naturally want to give back. The collaborations that have formed have not only grown my business, but have elevated me personally, sharpening my focus, expanding my vision, and reinforcing that we rise together.
Hearing "We want to see you succeed" is beautiful. Seeing it crystallise- Inspiring!
I highly recommend BNI to anyone ready to elevate both professionally and personally. Come and visit us, we'd love to see you succeed too.

Being part of the BNI network has been much more than connecting with like minded business owners in my chapter. The benefit of having a larger network of support, advice and business opportunities has been an amazing experience. I would highly recommend you to consider the benefits.

I have been a member of BNI for more than five years. I have met some of the most remarkable and skilful people, not only here in Adelaide but in Sydney and Melbourne, all through the BNI network. This has been great for me and my clients.

As a small business owner, I know my trade, but I still have much to learn about business. The BNI community is so incredibly supportive and generous, helping me out when I have a question or need help.

Community and belonging is so important in our fast-paced world and BNI Adelaide CBD + South is a great community to be part of.
