How many times have you volunteered at a nonprofit that was confusing, disorganized, and didn’t engage you in the cause?
It’s easily forgettable.
It’s nothing special.
And, it’s something that all nonprofits need to change.
But, how?
Currently, I’m working at a nonprofit that has a lot of volunteer help, but very little consistent, effective, [...]
Nonprofits are living a tough life.
Funding is limited.
Volunteers aren’t always available.
Staff often have low morale because of job security and ever impending budget cuts.

There are a lot of nonprofits that have a superb follow-up process after someone has donated to their cause.
When I first started working in the nonprofit field, I knew that people should get thank you cards, but I didn’t understand the marketing significance behind each piece of material that a donor received.

Seriously.
What’s stopping you?
Is it fear, commitment, insecurity, laziness?
I know that you have a desire to flirt with the idea of creating your own business. I know that you have a crush on being a changemaker that brings real impact to your corner of the world. I [...]
You’re ignoring him.
You’re more intimate with press releases than you are in bed.
Your conversations consist of you talking about new leads.
Yes, yes, and yes?
Maybe it’s time to get out of your business head and into your honey lovin’ head?

I’m deciding today, right now, at 5:21 PM, that I’m going to stand out.
That I’m going to stop holding back my opinion to play nice.
