Now More Than Ever…

Tom Suddes | October 10, 2008

This week’s WOW plays off of last Friday’s teleconference and white paper on 3rd Sector Funding & the Economy.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Think Like an Entrepreneur!

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Think Big. Build Simple. Act Now.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Change the Performance Capacity of Society.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Focus on Impact.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Trust the Message.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Get Back to Fundamentals.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Embrace this Opportunity to Change the Way You Think, Operate & Fund.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Not Make Decisions for Best Prospects.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER… we need to Position for the Future.

It’s been an extremely difficult week. Markets still plunging. Worldwide chaos.

I still believe with all my heart and sole that “THIS TOO SHALL PASS”… and we need to be out there with our CHAMPIONS and BEST INVESTORS and MOST QUALIFIED PROSPECTS.

P.S. Response to this “NOW MORE THAN EVER… message has been overwhelming positive and thankful. Every email, phone call and story, although anecdotal, has reinforced that the people that are out there (in the field, making visits, presenting opportunities) are having success. Even when the economy is brought up, it is dealt with in a visionary/impactful way.

We’ve posted the audio and full transcript online at http://www.forimpact.org/2008/10/economy.php for everyone in our For Impact Community. From everything I’ve heard, this has been a powerful tool to use with your board. Many people have even passed this onto their top investor.
