Description

When you're passionate about your mission, it's tempting to hit the ground running — launching programs, chasing funding, and saying yes to every opportunity. But here's the truth: starting fast can actually slow you down.

In this episode, we're talking about why moving too quickly leads to exhaustion, confusion, and burnout — and how to build your nonprofit with clarity, structure, and sustainability from day one.

Because as I always say, you don't need speed — you need strategy.

You'll learn how to:

  • Recognize the early signs of burnout in your nonprofit journey

  • Pace your growth with purpose and planning

  • Build systems that sustain both your mission and your energy

If you're ready to build your nonprofit without losing your passion (or your peace), this episode is for you.
