Some don't need Funding

Another great day! A while ago, I believe it was on the first or second call after Christmas break, I had indicated that I had found my niche and I was asked how do I know, what is different? I don't remember what I responded but I believe I have a better answer now.

I can tell you what is different. Before I started working with NPOs I had to find my leads from the general populace. Now I heard at least two people on last nights call say finding those five contacts is as easy as boom, boom, boom. I have heard Jacki say getting those contacts should take very little time. I am sure it is easy for those who say it is. Here is the difference: since I am working with NPOs I am excited about what I am doing, I enjoy researching and learning about the organizations I am going to contact. I can't wait to get started in the morning and I don't want to stop when it is time to quit. I enjoy every call I make even if they say no.

Now let's look back before NPOs when I had to work with the general populace. I dreaded every day. Even when I had my five for the day there was no peace because I knew I had to find five more the next day. When night came there was no peace because I knew that as soon as I got up the next morning I was on the hook for five more names. There was no joy in finding the contacts when I did get them.

Please don't draw the conclusion that I don't like working with the general populace or that I think that I can hide behind NPOs and never have to work with individuals. I know that when the NPOs start signing on I will be helping them---yes helping them sign up individuals. I am looking forward to it.


I spent a lot of time researching the NPO's that I contacted today. Only two of them agreed to look at the web site but that's great. I don't want to say much about it now but one of them looks extremely promising. I was also surprised to find out in spite of the economy, some NPO's have all the money they need and others say that there is plenty of money available for NPO's, they just have to be creative to get it.

Enough for now.
