What's Missing?
Larry C Johnson
Marquis Who's Who World Humanitarian showing nonprofit leaders how to achieve financial security through sustainable philanthropic revenue.
Leaders in nonprofit organizations are (constantly) looking for an edge in fundraising.
What’s an “edge”?
It’s that technique, technology or magic closer that will bring in the dough.
Money that is sufficient for today’s needs.
Preferably without requiring much involvement or change on the part of those within the organization.?
Most nonprofits are incapable of thinking in terms longer than six months or a year at most.?This despite the plethora of “long-term” and “five-year” strategic plans.
So much money is squandered on producing these plans.?They’re practically worthless.?That is if you consider “worth” something that will make a material difference in the organization.
It’s classic nonprofit schizophrenia—put all your attention on the short term while spending valuable resources on the out-there long-term.?One to frantically raise what you desperately need now, while the other gives you a since of what could come tomorrow.
I can’t think of anything more frustrating.?But it makes you feel better.?Gives you the illusion that you’re doing something.
So, what’s REALLY missing?
Continuity.
Long-term focus with short term investment. (The exact opposite of what we usually see.)
Long term focus is on installing a culture of generosity.?An understanding, by everyone in the organization, that being prosperous is about building authentic relationships with your supporters just because.?Just because.
When you’ve achieved this, a funny thing happens.???????????
Your revenue flow becomes unstoppable.?Literally on autopilot.
Arriving at this state of affairs isn’t as hard as you might think.
The Eight Principles onsite training creates this culture in record time—and keeps it.?This is training you deliver on-demand to everyone in your organization.?This is training which builds understanding and consensus like nothing else.

Coaches and consultants this can be of immense benefit to you, as well.
As a coach myself, I feel the pain of coaches and consultants who spend inordinate amounts of effort and time just to get a client to the point where they “get it.”?It’s when that happens a consultant does their best work.
This is where the Eight Principles training platform is used to get your client “there” in record time.?You take everyone from board room to front desk to the same place.
Clients don’t care how you do it.?They just want results.?If you deliver the culture in record time, you get to your custom work faster.?You serve more clients.?They get faster results.?Less time getting their attention.?More time sharing your true expertise.?

Coaches and consultants, let me hear from you.?Schedule a call and we’ll see if Eight Principles Training is a tool you can use to build your business and serve your clients more effectively while being more productive and growing your business.

NEVER.
To Everyone:?My goal is simple.?To show all who really want it (not just wish for it) the clear, proven path to abundance.

1 年Hi Larry, You know I've always loved your "8 Principles" book and message, and today, I feel it's even more relevant. I think there's one more thing missing with many non-profits... and that is the understanding of the importance of, the how-to's of, and the benefits of consistently building real engaged relationships with their donors. I continue to see causes putting programs over building people relationships. That leads, sadly, to underachieving on getting the resources to fulfill their purpose. I believe people hang out with people like themselves. Imagine supporters wanting to bring more people just like them into the community of supporters. It happens when relationships bring them together, better than an event or program will ever do. Keep up the great work!
