If you missed the email, I was talking about the freedom that comes from goal setting.
Because it naturally sets your boundaries. It allows you to align your time very easily within those boundaries.
👊 Boundaries help us know what to ‘say no’ to and what to ‘say yes’ to.
👊 Boundaries tell us what to start doing and what to stop doing.
👊 Boundaries remove the guilt, shame, and all the ‘we ought to do X.’
I don’t need to tell you what that looks like in the nonprofit sector. You know, things like:
“We don’t make any money during Giving Tuesday, but it would look bad if we didn’t do it.”
“The staff spends way more time on the golf event than they should, but our two chairs love doing it even though it raises very little money.”
“Our board wants us to write more grants, but I spend days writing them and am rarely rewarded the funds.”
“I don’t have time to find individual donors or even do relational fundraising, because there aren’t enough hours in a day. I’m expected to do it all.”
