Another Day

First, let me thank the friends and Campers who have sent me words of encouragement in the form of comments to my blog. You are very encouraging and I need that. Many, many thanks to all of you and may the blessings of the Great Spirit come into your life.

Yes, today was another one of those days where not much gets accomplished. I made some follow calls this morning and did not connect with anyone. Then I was on the morning call and then I did a nine hour shift at work. I got home from work in time to hear the end of the Monday evening call. After that, I made supper, ate it, and now I am up dating my blog.

Not very exciting is it? However, I do want to call attention to something I learned on the morning call that is exciting.. One of my NPOs is an umbrella organization which has 80 NPOs under it. Each of these NPOs is completely independent and operates as its own entity. It urns out that I have already been working with some of these independents before I contacted the umbrella organization. It was my intention to sign up the Umbrella organization first and then sign up the independents under it.What I learned today was that any independents who sign up before the umbrella org. will not be under it. This gives me a lot of leverage in dealing with the umbrella org. If they want to be the leader and have the independents under them, they have got to sign up now or be left behind. I hope this is information that you can all use as you work with NPOs.

I promise to have more information in tomorrows blog.

Tom,

This WAS really cool news. It was so good, in fact, that I want to listen to the recorded call to make sure I didn't miss anything important. Thank you.

By the way, is your wife Laura who helps with the MPM Live Chat Customer Service????

If so, then I've just connected some MPM dots . . .

Have a good night's rest, Tom. And, thank you for your wishes for blessings in our lives. We have many and will always happily accept more.

It sounds like your date with the computer was an exciting one. LOL UP-dating- up dating. Just have one more blog to read. Sorry I get very silly when I am tired. Tom I took your advice on really reading more that just the website that is affiliated with the npo of interest. Found nNew york non-profit press. WOW! I was crying. It is scary and sad. At the same time I realized what Ginny was saying about the timing in what we have to offer and how long it took to get here. It was for this.. I was scared, but was excited, I don't mean I am happy that non-profits along with everyone else is really hurting. I just see that it will just take a few of them to see this and get the ball started.I think it is going to Explode into the world, that we are making a difference in the world and that we are legit. We can help so many, so fast if they just followed along with Ginny. Just sign up, get the next one, and the next one. There is too many THINKER BRAIMS and not enough JUST DOERS!
have a great week!
