Nonprofit Leaders: What kind of decision maker are you?

Can I make one suggestion? 

Be a decision maker. 

Wasting years stressing over a decision about something that might impact your budget by 5% or could be easily course corrected if it didn’t work out…Constantly playing out scenarios in your head about what may or may not happen. 

What lies beneath this indecisiveness?

Fear?  

Fear of failure, fear of making the wrong call? 

Fear of what the board will think?

 

My guess is that you’ve built a ship that can sail through most things. You’ll adapt and overcome like you did in 2020. Or, the decision might be the best thing ever!

 

I find that it's in decisions where progress truly happens.

 

What about you? What decision are you holding back from making that would help you grow? Are you waiting on your board? Hoping there's a surge in cash flow? Thinking next year you might be able to fit it into the budget? Anticipating getting that capacity building grant?

 

Just do it.

Whenever you’re ready, here are THREE things you can do next:

Sherry Quam Taylor works with growth-minded Nonprofit CEOs who are scaling their organizations but still need larger amounts of general operating support to truly grow. She breaks their teams free from the limitations of transactional fundraising and helps them reimagine their entire approach to revenue generation.

The high-performing leaders Sherry works with want to find and secure more unrestricted revenue from investment-level donors. They simply need more funding to do what’s in their Strategic Plan. To achieve this, she transforms their teams and boards into high-ROI revenue generators - revealing how they can align every hour they spend fundraising with new principles that double and triple donation sizes.

As a result of learning her methodology, Sherry’s clients regularly add 7-figures of gen-ops revenue to their bottom line by learning how to attract investment-level donors that WANT to fund their work. But the biggest transformation they experience is knowing the exact strategy, path, and team that will propel them to generate the 2-10X dollars their strategic plans require.

Sherry attributes the success of her business to her passion for modeling radical confidence to the future CEOs in her house - her two teenage daughters.
