7 Mistakes I Made Starting a Non Profit

Starting a nonprofit organization or researching what it would take to start one? Check out a few BIG mistakes I made in my start up nonprofit and DON'T do what I did! #Nonprofit #Entrepreneurship #SocialEnterprise

Don't worry, things turned out okay. I now work full-time for the 501c3 nonprofit I started and love seeing the social impact we make in our community as we grow each year. But looking back, I could have done a few things differently as a nonprofit entrepreneur to get us to the scale we're at now more quickly and with less of a struggle.

If you've started a nonprofit or known someone who has - what mistakes did you / they make along the way that you learned from? Share in the comments below! THANK YOU for checking out my first video - I hope you enjoy!

I'm writing my business plan right now and you are helping me tremendously to make decisions early! I haven't even filed any paperwork yet and I feel secure in my concept, branding, and revenue plan. Thank you!

Extremely helpful video. The nonprofit I'm in has made several of these same mistakes, so I wish this video existed 5 years ago!

This is the third video I watched of yours. You are answering so many questions and hopefully preventing mistakes I may encounter. Especially about saying “Yes” to everyone. I suffer from being a people pleaser. Hearing you say this stopped me in my tracks. I have to exercise the freedom of saying “No.”
