What would you tell to a leader who is trying to fund their vision?
How can they lean into that?
So I think that leaning into anything starts with a plan.
And I love the strategic planning process and what we call a feasibility study, meaning
is my idea feasible?
Is this project or program feasible for my community?
And part of feasibility is financial sustainability.
So is it sustainable financially?
Where is the money going to come from?
What are our ideas?
And getting that right out front, getting excited about where the money is going to
come from and making that a part of the goal system right from the beginning for either
a new nonprofit or a new project or program.
And that can really translate to business too, knowing that those financial goals maybe
aren't the most fun out of the whole package of your goals, but they are super, super important
and need to be a part of that.
I love the strategic plan for any organization, nonprofit, for profit, doesn't matter.
Strategic plans and feasibility studies are like my favorite.
