What NOT to do

Just got off the phone with a client. She is experienced in business but just starting a non-profit. She said people are giving her a headache by getting way ahead of themselves with planning multiple locations, giving her their salary expectations, and trying to charge her for things that she is not ready to spend money on yet. She is just getting started with her business plan. I am so glad she realizes this is NOT how you start. You have to define roles and set expectations. You cannot let just anyone drive that bus because believe me they will put you in a ditch!
