Hi Everyone, Its Wednesday and time for another video blog. This weeks message is about Ghandi, Buddha and priorities. Please keep the feedback coming, I love to hear your thoughts and I appreciate it!

I loved to travel, especially in Africa, and I had always wanted to live abroad. But at the same time, it would mean leaving everything I knew – selling my house, leaving my friends and family, and leaving the security of my job. In making my decision, I realized that life isn’t about comfortably and stability, life is about living, and this includes overcoming the fear of uncertainty.

Welcome ! Here is my second offering of some Wednesday Wisdom. I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback as I am very new to this entire video world! Enjoy!

The demand for change, the demand for more…faster…better..cheaper will come from both inside your organization and outside of it. So when budgets get tight and you are asked to be more efficient- when the pressure is at its greatest should we really be limiting or killing the very things that will bring the next new idea?

No one ever gets anywhere by following a formula.You get to the vision by investing in” the big messy idea”. That complex, new thinking piece of work that EVERYONE expects to fail. The big messy idea is actually a little…well…its actually a little scary.

People often join an organization due to self serving interests or relational reasons and become true believers in the organization after their point of entry- after that first volunteer experience or that first donation.

Knowledge is an asset, and it should be treated like any other asset . Its valuable and ultimately- just like money or any other property – contributes to the success of your organization.

The past two budget years have been really tight for many non profits. All the articles you read tell us that they have been expected to do more with less resources. Ummm… Hasn’t it always been this way?
