Jim's request for advice about money

[Guest guest]

Hi Jim - This is how you do that (from someone who's business it is to get

money for non-profits, but I can't remember his name, only that he's highly

successful and deals with big bucks). You first envision what the business

is about, how it will be run, what it will accomplish. A business plan helps

with that. You include the amount of money you will need and for what. (In

you mind you leave it open that some, maybe much of what you need could come

in non-monetary form.) Then you just go out and start setting up the

business. Do as much as you can without money, and don't think much about

the money. That comes last.

 

Once you have enough of the company set up that people can see what you're

aiming for, and that you are actually willing to work for it, the money will

come easily. If you're there already and it hasn't come yet, then there's

probably more that you can do without it, or your vision is not yet concrete

enough that people can see it, or it's an idea that won't really work in

your area.

 

Hope this helps - Susette
