“it’s not about how many people are in the group, but rather about the depth of the relationships”
At the last NARS Conference, I was approached by a member of our industry and asked, “What would Eagle Group do for me if I joined?” I felt like using the old Carmine Longobardi return when asked what TFA was going to do for them, “Don’t ask what Eagle Group is going to do for you, tell me what you are going to do for Eagle Group… if we let you join!”. But I refrained, noting the gentleman’s young age and limited time in this unusual but rewarding industry.
I tried to explain to him, in simple and understandable language, that by surrounding himself with the right people, the other members of Eagle Group XX/USA it was not just a luxury, it’s a necessity for his growth as a leader in his agency and a recognizable person in the asset recovery industry.
I went on to explain that no matter how great of a businessman you are, no matter how talented, disciplined, or driven you are, you cannot achieve greatness alone. The path to success is filled with moments when your name will need to be spoken in rooms you haven’t yet entered, and that is where the power of your membership in Eagle Group XX/USA comes into play.
Imagine walking into a room where opportunities are already aligned for you because another well-respected member of the Eagle Group XX/USA, who believes in your vision, made sure those present knew you also were a member of Eagle Group XX/USA and that your worth was recognized. That “one for all and all for one” kind of support does not happen by accident; it’s cultivated by the intentional relationships that the members of Eagle Group XX/USA choose to nurture. When you are a member of Eagle Group XX/USA and you surround yourself with people who truly see your value, they don’t just clap when you win, they help create the stage for your victories.
The truth is, not everyone in the recovery industry will celebrate with you. Some will question your dreams, diminish your abilities, or even compete or downgrade your accomplishments. But those who genuinely believe in you, your fellow members of Eagle Group XX/USA, will do the opposite. They will lift you higher, remind you of your brilliance when you forget, and create bridges instead of walls. These are the people that matter, the ones that fuel your confidence and sustain your resilience, your fellow members in Eagle Group XX/USA.
As the facilitator for Eagle Group XX/USA I have found that it’s not about how many people are in the group, but rather about the depth of the relationships the Eagle Group XX/USA members have invested in. The men and women who comprise the Eagle Group XX/USA membership have chosen to surround themselves with industry members who uplift them.
I concluded the conversation by telling my young friend that the relationships developed by Eagle Group XX/USA members will challenge you, encourage you, and most importantly, speak for you when you are not in the room. That is the Eagle Group XX/USA promise to each other, “ANYTHING, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE…PROFESSIONALLY”, and that is priceless.
Join the Professional men and women in the Eagle Group XX/USA and become a part of a group of men and women dedicated to professionalism, unity and most importantly each other’s success.
