Banks are spoken about being nationalized.
What's next?
The New York Times on 20Feb08 ran an article about the struggle nonprofits are enduring, forcing many to close, entitled "Charities Now Seek Bankruptcy Protection" by Stephanie Strom in which she said:
"While no one has compiled data on how many charities have turned to courts for protection, experts in the field say it has become more common as nonprofits have been pressured by donors to operate more like businesses."
That's what we do-help nonprofits think and act more like businesses, especially in their cash flow. Can we help you?

The boost we all sometimes need
I get such an energy boost from going to New York City, professionally and personally.
I am fortunate enough to belong to two great networking groups there and have met people involved in levels of their professions that are truly inspiring. That rubs off on me in very profound ways.
It's a benchmarking opportunity for me.
Many are trusting enough to refer me to others, even if it means a leap of faith in that they don't know from personal experience exactly how I work. Not to worry-I will never disappoint them or their contacts!
But the train ride home allows me an hour or so to reflect on the aspects of these relationships and how I can make them more meaningful and reciprocate.
An example: I try to bring the best-of-the-best I know to lead private seminars for my clients here in Connecticut. This has been successful. I refer them whenever possible.
It's the pay it forward concept. What goes around comes around. It's better to give than receive.
I have always believed in this and thank my colleagues who have referred me without concrete experience of how I can help their clients.
Thanks for letting me expound a bit. More like gush...

Fly with me
I had a Brazilian banker a number of years ago who tried to help me understand the vagaries of financing in Brazil (during my previous incarnation as a corporate treasurer). When explaining something particularly creative, he said, "Marc, Fly with me. Let's see how we can make this work together."
I always remembered that.
When I see a potential client, as happened yesterday, who knows conceptually what she wants but not necessarily how to bring together all the mechanisms to accept online donations and sell items in a shopping cart, we "flew" together. I left feeling she really "got it" and she was all smiles as I left. I think she was experiencing the natural high of an executive director imagining more donations in a brand new way.
Tune in next week to the continuing saga of "Fly with Me."
