A Not for Profit can be hard to manage if you don’t have the right people to back you up. That is why we have volunteers to give us a hand. When it comes to a point that it seems like there’s no one else to turn to; remember that you’re not alone in this.
Today, I talk to Kim Miles, owner of Kim’s A-Counting bookkeeping business. We will be discussing three important points you need to consider when you’re in a club or association and you’re running with volunteers:
- Knowing that you’re helping people to get out there and get it done;
- Don’t feel like you’re in the NFP sector alone; and
- The need to run an NFP not as a business but with a business mindset.
