Remarkable quotes:
We can get grant money which is not the reason to start a nonprofit.
People don\'t want to support duplication of services unless it\'s providing that service in a different way.
You should not serve on a board for life. There should be term limits.
Ask people \\u201cwhat kind of person are you, what are your strengths your weaknesses\\u201d?
You can apply for a grant of three million dollars to use. That\'s not how it works. You haven\'t proven anything.
Nobody wants to give money to people please.
The real money is in that abundance; that story of amazing transformation in the impact you\'re making, not the tin cup.
