Fundraising Decision-Making: Get Moving! Take Action!
"Action will delineate and define you," wrote Thomas Jefferson.
So whether it is a hiring decision, selecting the right volunteers, getting an appeal or newsletter (or blog) written, analyze and get moving. Size the research and deliberation to the importance and duration of the project. Have an action toward bias.
Be ready to weather the storms of fundraising by enhancing your decision-making skills.
So get moving — take action!
