Annette Gillanders, regional director of Business Network International (BNI) - in the Australia Northern Territory (NT), praises inspirational keynote speaker, William de Ora.

William de Ora is the co-author of three books:

The Invisible Partnership: A Blueprint For Successfully Combining Marriage & Business, The Invisible Branson: The Definitive Guide To Becoming A Business Rock Star and The Invisible Entrepreneur: How To Grow Your Business By Taking 3 Months Off!

His presentation at BNI was based on his own life experiences with wife and business partner, Louise Woodbury.

William says self-actualisation is a vital starting point for all leadership influence. Business is a reflection of the owner and carries their uniqueness, like the one-of-a-kind feature of a fingerprint.

An entrepreneur's success has nothing to do with money, time, logic or even external circumstances.

Instead, it has everything to do with an entrepreneur's level of self-worth and belief. Success powerfully emanates from a person's character.

Gillanders of BNI states:

"William de Ora had a very simple, but clear message for our members: No matter what industry you're in—construction, manufacturing or providing a service, or what size your business is—you can thrive and excel."

This is why William de Ora is passionate at BNI about unleashing entrepreneurs from their day-to-day existence and allowing them to see that if they have the desire and right foundations. Then they can set up their business to succeed.
