Day 5 – International Energy, Speed Eating & a Guinness World Record
A powerful message from the BNI Global Convention 2025. 🚀🧡🧡BNI Schleswig-Holstein #BNI #BNIGC25 #GCBNI2025

1. Morning – Key Impressions and True International Proximity
The morning was marked by encounters that touched me and also advanced my entrepreneurial journey.
I had intense discussions with participants from New Zealand, Romania, Denmark-Tech, and China.
Each of these conversations was different – but they all had one thing in common:
open-minded people – and genuine curiosity about each other.
One moment stood out particularly:
I stood with my Chinese colleagues and directly showed them how to overcome language barriers in real-time using ChatGPT.
No theory – pure practice.
One device.
Two languages.
One shared conversation.
No fear, no uncertainty, no barriers.
For me, it was an emotional moment:
Technology becomes a bridge – and suddenly connection is possible where there was once silence.
That’s exactly why I do this: to bring people together, regardless of language, origin, or background.
2. Entrepreneurial Relevance – Quality over Quantity
I am currently gathering an incredible number of first contacts.
But I don't measure them by quantity, but by what lies behind them.
I sense a clear potential in several conversations.
In my mind, I would say:
“light green” – visible, growing, promising.
It’s clear to me:
If even one real business comes from all these days, this convention is a fixed date – every year.
An entrepreneurial home on international soil.
3. Specific Possible Business Case – Cosmetics, Distribution, Asia-Pacific
A particularly exciting contact today:
An Australian entrepreneur who owns several distribution companies.
She is interested in our Solipure Cosmetics.
But the path is clean and clear:
If that works, a larger distribution channel in the Asia-Pacific region could emerge.
No empty hope – but a real, tangible entrepreneurial path.
4. Personal Highlights – For the First Time, I Don't Feel “Too Fast”
A very emotional point for me:
For the first time today, I felt that I am in an environment that thinks and acts at MY pace.
I was not “too fast”.
I was not “too much”.
I was on the same level.
This deeply touched me.
The encounters with Vietnam and China – including photos – reaffirm to me that I have found my place:
An internationally networking entrepreneur who builds bridges where others see walls.
5. A Moment That Moved Me – “Give me a hug”
On the sidelines of the event, I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Ivan Meisner again.
It was a brief moment – but one with impact.
He approached me, smiled, and said:
“Give me a hug.”
A sentence that shows:
Connection is created not just through words or photos –
but through a feeling that arises between people when they respect one another.
The moment truly touched me.
6. Conditions & Outlook – A Day Full of Anticipation
This evening holds something very special for me:
AC/DC in the stadium.
I am looking forward to it like a teenager –
and at the same time, I remain mindful of local rules, safety, and specifics
(Keyword: dangerous water areas, no swimming).
Starting next week, I will continue to tropical regions –
less business, but:
who knows what may arise.
This trip has shown me that opportunities often arise where you least expect them.
On the way home – two special encounters
1. Thanks to my Australian colleague Andy
On the way back, I was happy to receive a message from Andy, my Australian BNI colleague.
He gives me numerous tips for my upcoming destinations – genuine insider spots, activities, and recommendations.
International support that really makes me happy.
A sign of how well the connection works now.
2. The Pakistani Medical Student in the Taxi
My taxi back to the hotel became the last highlight of the day:
The driver – a young man from Pakistan – is studying medicine.
Of course, I tell him about our wound healing product and cosmetics solutions.
We exchange contacts.
The funniest part:
I show him how he can communicate with me in Pakistani – by translation.
He was thrilled.
And I, the “old man,” show the young medical student of the new generation how to use modern tools.
A nice, humorous conclusion.
