Simone's Blog: Pet Peeves
Miscellaneous thoughts
Sort of peeves but...
|
"It's not difficult to coast along when things are going well, when a balance has been established. What's difficult is the new. The new ice. The new light. The new feelings." Peter Hoag, Danish writer
How are things going in your agency? What's new? How difficult is the new? What small battles and big wars must you fight to explore the new, learn, and make change?
And, check out my interview with Nonprofit Marketing 360. Some passion and possibly peeves. Interviews with others, too.

-- Being clear on who you are and what you stand for matters to your donors.
-- Imagine that you live to be 100. Your friends and family throw a big party. After you blow out your hundred candles (if you can!) people start to make short speeches about you. Looking ahead to that day, from where you are now, what would you want them to say about you?
