Is chaos ruining your flow?

Is chaos ruining your flow?

The last couple of months have been filled with travel to help take care of a family member that has been sick. He's on the mend and doing better, but it has thrown my schedule into chaos as things were changing daily.

When you're the leader in your organization, this can be really difficult. You know what needs to be done. You know what's coming up that needs to be prepped. And, there are things that you just can't pass off to your team, even though they'd love to step in and help.

So what's the solution?

Over communication, re-prioritization, and grace!

It's hard to ask for help, and sometimes the help comes in an area that you didn't expect. For example, maybe you lean on someone to help with meal planning or prep in your household so you have some extra time to focus on the work projects only you can do. Or maybe you push a deadline for a project that isn't time sensitive, even though you're really excited about it, to focus on the things that are impactful right now.

It doesn't have to be an emergency that comes up to throw your work life into chaos. Busy seasons come and go in this business, so setting yourself up to understand what is going to move the needle and help you raise the money you need and not overwhelm yourself with "stuff" is so important.

[blog] Direct Mail Marketing Ideas for NonProfits

Let’s be honest, in a world dominated by social media and lightning-fast digital campaigns, it’s easy to dismiss direct mail marketing ideas as outdated. We see digital ads everywhere, and we receive tons of mailers we consider junk. However, just like that unexpected handwritten postcard from a friend, a well-executed direct mail piece can cut through the digital clutter. It can also create a lasting impression on potential customers.
