Whenever I hear, "It can't be done," I know I'm close to success. Kurt Lewin (1890 - 1947) |

Is Your Organization ready to raise record breaking amounts of money this year? We have all listened to the radio, watched TV and read in the paper just how awful the economy is today. Throughout history, there have been plenty of times far WORSE than these and organizations that flourished right in the middle of the darkest of economic times. YOU could be one of those today! Do you know what GE, Disney, Hewlett Packard and Microsoft have in common? They all launched their companies during steep declines in the U.S. economy. GE started during the panic of 1873, Disney started during the recession of 1923-24, Hewlett Packard launched their business during the Great Depression and Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Microsoft during the recession of 1975. Were these business owners crazy, lucky or just smarter than everyone else? You decide... What separates non-profits like yours from for-profit businesses like GE, Disney, HP and Microsoft? Easy, YOU get better tax breaks and YOU can provide your donors with financial opportunities these companies can not. That immediately puts you in a fabulous position to thrive, no matter what the economic outlook is. So, why did these little start-up companies thrive in tough economic times and grow to be powerhouses while everyone else suffered? Simple, they had a plan, focused on success, weren't afraid to roll up their sleeves, work SMARTER and they all KNEW that there are just as many opportunites as there are challenges in every situation, in every economy.... the trick is to stay focused on finding the opportunities and then have the courage to take action when you find those opportunities. "There are no "good times" or "bad times" there are just opportunties to thrive or to flounder, and whatever YOU decide they are, is exactly what they are." Bonnie Marlewski-Probert. Henry Ford once said, "If you think you can, you can and if you think you can't you can't." While on a recent book tour, promoting volumes 6 & 7 of the Horse Tales for the Soul books, I traveled a total of 5000 miles, hosting book signings at therapeutic riding centers throughout the Eastern USA. In addition to having a great time and helping to raise a lot of money for a lot of great centers, I came home with a new awareness and as a result, a new goal. I became aware of the fact that non-profits were struggling financially all across the country. The other thing I recognized after meeting dozens of groups face-to-face was that they could all exponentially increase their success if they learned some new business techniques that wouldn't cost them much time or money. All of these techniques and strategies are used everyday in the for-profit world, can easily be applied in the non-profit world in full compliance with the IRS requirements and will easily transform a struggling non-profit into one that is thriving, no matter what the economy is doing. I am putting together at least a dozen training courses, fund raising programs, teleseminars and more that are all focused on teaching you how to gain financial success in your organization. We will be rolling out these programs in the weeks to come. To get started, click on the Success Survey at the top of the page and take our survey so I can get to know more about your organization.
