1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680
What would you tell to a leader who is trying to fund their vision?

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,840
How can they lean into that?

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,080
So I think that leaning into anything starts with a plan.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,200
And I love the strategic planning process and what we call a feasibility study, meaning

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,200
is my idea feasible?

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,000
Is this project or program feasible for my community?

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,160
And part of feasibility is financial sustainability.

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,680
So is it sustainable financially?

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,920
Where is the money going to come from?

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,920
What are our ideas?

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,640
And getting that right out front, getting excited about where the money is going to

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,160
come from and making that a part of the goal system right from the beginning for either

13
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,640
a new nonprofit or a new project or program.

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:45,320
And that can really translate to business too, knowing that those financial goals maybe

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,760
aren't the most fun out of the whole package of your goals, but they are super, super important

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,400
and need to be a part of that.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,840
I love the strategic plan for any organization, nonprofit, for profit, doesn't matter.

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,480
Strategic plans and feasibility studies are like my favorite.
