<p>Get on the Fast Track to Grant Writer: www.teresahuff.com/vip</p> <hr /> <h3>How Do You Create a Ripple Effect?</h3> <div> <div> <div> <div>A lot of things are outside our control, especially in business and nonprofit work. </div> <div> </div> <div>Instead of lamenting those obstacles, let's take a look at what we <strong>CAN</strong> control - such as our attitudes, reactions, mindset toward challenges, and how we treat others.</div> <div> </div> <div>If it's true that we become like the 5 people we're around the most, I have a few questions for you to ponder:</div> <ul> <li><em>Who are you hanging around?</em></li> <li><em>Who is hanging around you?</em></li> <li><em>Are you someone others want to become like?</em></li> </ul> <div>You can influence change in your circles, and today we're going to discuss how.</div> </div> </div> <div> </div> <div><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Becoming a Nonprofit Go-Giver</span></strong></div> <div> </div> <div> <div>In this episode I'm talking with bestselling author and speaker <a href="https://burg.com/">Bob Burg</a> about what it means to become a go-giver, especially in the context of nonprofit work. </div> <div> </div> <div>Bob is every bit as genuine and kind in person as he sounds in the interview. He shares tremendous wisdom and encouragement for nonprofit leaders. Bob understands that nonprofit work can feel like an uphill journey sometimes, which is why he shared,<em>“Things that get built big typically don’t happen fast. They happen with consistent, persistent work.”</em></div> <div> </div> <div>Bob also compares nonprofit fundraising to the sales process. However, he breaks it down into a non-intimidating way of building relationships. He urges us to care about the other person and take a genuine interest in their lives, saying <em>“The person who is the donor isn’t doing it because <strong>you</strong> need the donations to keep your doors open. They’re doing it because <strong>they</strong> have their own unique reason for donating.”</em></div> <div>
