Mentorship is an essential ingredient for success in the business world. An experienced mentor can provide guidance, support, and valuable insights that can help a mentee navigate difficult challenges in their career. A mentor is someone who has already walked the path and knows the mistakes to avoid and the best practices to follow. Mentors bring objectivity and an outside perspective to business decisions and can offer constructive criticism when necessary. Mentorship is a highly effective way to accelerate professional development, and it is crucial for any business seeking to cultivate a thriving workplace culture.

This nonprofit raises 375k per quarter in a very unique way. Nonprofits strive to make a meaningful impact in their community, but funding can be a significant obstacle to achieving their goals. One way to combat this challenge is by diversifying their revenue streams. By exploring multiple streams of income, nonprofits can increase their financial stability and expand their reach. While many organizations rely heavily on donations and grants, other strategies like merchandise sales, event sponsorships, and fee-based services provide additional opportunities to generate revenue. With thoughtful planning and execution, nonprofits can strategically build a portfolio of income sources that support their mission and drive impact in their community.

Relationship-building forms the backbone of any nonprofit organization. Why? Because the work we do is fueled by the goodwill of others - donors, volunteers, partners, and the communities we serve. These relationships are the beating heart of our mission, and we must nurture them with care and intention. The hustle of building relationships can be challenging, but it is also deeply rewarding. When we connect with others on a human level, we build trust, loyalty, and a sense of common purpose. It is in these moments that we discover the true power of our work: not just to make a difference, but to bring people together in service of something greater than ourselves. So let us step forward with courage and conviction, with open hearts and open minds, and embrace the thrilling work of building relationships that will change our world for the better.

Are you one of many nonprofits not taking advantage of the biggest tool available for spreading your mission?
Social media is one of the most powerful tools at a nonprofit’s disposal when it comes to building relationships and driving growth. In order to maximize social media's usefulness, the content should be authentic and engaging, not just a call for donations. Nonprofits should craft social media posts that demonstrate their mission, values, and showcase their social impact while also inviting potential supporters to engage with them directly. When leveraged effectively, social media can be an incredibly effective tool for nonprofits to expand their reach, engage more with supporters, and increase donations for their cause.

Season 4 of The Service Driven Life Podcasts starts today! We will also be airing on Fridays rather than Wednesdays this season. What's your word of the year? Ours is Awareness! You see, you cannot begin to change unless you are first aware of the thoughts, actions, and results that are happening in this very moment. Are you aware of where you spend your time, your money, and your energy? Do you know your BMI, Visceral Fat, your BMR? Do you know where most of your clients or donations come from, what marketing is working, and which grants have the highest percentage of new nonprofit approvals?
So far, we have saved over $300 per month by clearing subscriptions that we don't use. What could you invest in with an extra $300 every month? Many times, we are moving so fast that we lose awareness of exactly which direction we are headed!
I have a secret recipe that was downloaded to me years ago and 2023 is the year that we will share it with the world!

This class is for you if you feel like you are running in circles and your vision is getting pushed to the back burner.
In today's Podcast, I share what inspired me to create The Shedding Method and how it has changed my life, my connections, and my bank account.
Happy Holidays! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season filled with Family, Joy, and Love!
In today’s podcast, I discuss removing momentum blocks in your business or nonprofit! This is the final chapter of our Momentum Series and Part 2 of Momentum Stealers. If momentum is your intention for 2023 be sure to listen to all 3 episodes and add these tools to your toolbox.

In today’s podcast, I discuss removing momentum blocks in your business or nonprofit! Everyone has the same 24 hours per day. What you do with those hours is what matters most. Everyone knows the saying “Time is Money” Yet we get disconnected from the true meaning. We only focus on one of the words, Money. If you have a money challenge the fix is easy. It’s not really a money issue at all. It’s a time issue. You’re spending your time on things that don’t adequality support your desired lifestyle. I talk about what some of those things could be in today's podcast.
