Are you playing defense or offense with your nonprofit's money?

One of my favorite client's uses a sports metaphor for everything! I've learned so much about sports I knew nothing about! Thankfully he's learned lots from me too as he's added 7-figures of gen-ops revenue to his bottom line.

So, today, I'll ask you . . .

Is your nonprofit playing defense or offense with your money?

Defense looks like:
🥅 Automatically answering “we don’t have the money for that” to every expense
🥅 A list of growth initiatives you’d LOVE to do, but you just don’t have the cash
🥅 A timid board, nervous about growth and unsure you could grow higher than a rate of 10% every year
🥅 Underspending so often that it’s KEEPING you from increasing your revenue
🥅 Simply thinking small, scarcity-minded . . . "we lost one funder, so we can't do THAT!"
🥅 A budget that looks and feels like handcuffs

Offense looks like:
⚽ Automatically answering “let’s figure out a way to do that” when opportunities come your way
⚽ Creating a honest, needs-based budget and plan in place every year (not a squeak-by budget)
⚽ Knowing the exact investment you need to make that yields your true financial need every year
⚽ Consistently spending money on your processes, team, and infrastructure to propel steady amounts of gen-ops dollars
⚽ Trusting that you're investing in experts who will get you different results.
⚽ A budget that looks and feels like freedom and abundance

My clients who consistently play offense? They raise so much more money.

Millions more.
