Nonprofits need advocates, who focus their efforts on making decisions, attracting resources, and advancing the mission. Unfortunately, nonprofits often get stuck in battle. Stress, frustration, and prolonged conflict lead passionate people to disengage and disperse. Nonprofits fill important gaps in our society where government leaves off, and industry falls short. Not only that but nonprofits are formed out of passion. They are operated with passion. And they're funded out of passion, for seeing a problem fixed, a gap bridged. Focusing on business, not battle is the answer to creating a successful organization. For a nonprofit to be in business, it needs to get mission focused. From there business grows by gaining organizational awareness, learning to ask thoughtful questions, and by building an active network of advocates. Not only does this bring success to the organization, but it also helps fuel passionate staff and avoid burn out. It helps engage volunteers who are ready to lend a helping hand. And it helps attract enthusiastic confident donors.
