Business and non-profit change agents.
Most people want to improve their community and their lifestyle.
Businesses and non-profit organisations can be significant change agents by working together and focusing on customer service. Lifestyle could be linked to businesses and non-profit organisations in your community. Usually, these links are weak and lack impact. To improve your lifestyle, these links must become more meaningful and worthwhile to all parties concerned.
When developing your non-profit, the key is not to let yourself get too psyched out by what’s already out there. Remember, if there’s no client problem, frustration, want or need, there is likely no real need to change. Likewise, there is unlikely to be a market-driven opportunity, so why are you doing what you do?
Coming up with good ideas for change is doomed when people overanalyse the initial stages. Initially, you see the ball and hit it to make something happen. Then, when a significant, overwhelming change is needed, apply the “Swiss Cheese’ approach and poke holes in it.
We are creating a model for community development.
Good health and well-being services are at the core of a good lifestyle. This is where non-profit organisations can have the most significant impact in bringing about change in businesses and the community. When businesses start to partner with not-for-profits, the magic begins to happen.
Take a fresh look at creating new partnerships across these four areas. Businesses, non-profits, citizens and the community leadership.
When working together, the four areas can bring about desirable changes in your community. Indeed, every section of the community. Expertise and motivation will be far greater than anything most governments can provide.
The strategy is simple and builds on the models we’ve used in the past, and with organic marketing:
- Create something special for your community that citizens want and need.
- Seek more engagement and involvement of community members and supporters.
Do you believe you and your businesses and non-profit organisations are whole, complete and worthy of support? Is the world around you a great and benevolent place? Or do you think your passion is fundamentally flawed and unworthy of support? Is the world you live in a cold and unfriendly area where there aren’t enough resources to go around?
