3 分钟Are you a consultant trying to navigate running a for profit business while serving your nonprofit clients?
Do you struggle with holding client boundaries, raising prices, creating efficient systems, knowing when to hire, and just dealing with all the things about running a business that you were never trained or educated for?
Then you, my friend, are in the right place.
Welcome to the biz of Nonprofit Consultants podcast.
I'm your host, Natalie Ekdal, and I'm passionate about helping you build an enduring business, one that is enjoyable, profitable and sustainable.
As a former management consultant with an MBA who has worked with for profit and nonprofit organizations, I understand that nonprofit consultants encounter unique circumstances.
You must not only adapt to the different organizational cultures of each client, be mindful of multiple stakeholders, including the board of directors, understand the funding sources that cover your consulting engagement, all while serving the mission of the nonprofit.
However, you cant let your desire to move the mission forward keep you from running a profitable business because we want you to stay in business so you can keep having an incredible impact.
Over the last decade, as I hosted the award winning Biz Chicks podcast and coached and interviewed women from all different backgrounds, cultures and types of businesses, I discovered an affinity for my clients who are nonprofit consultants.
Some of you are accidental entrepreneurs.
Some of you have grown a business faster than you ever anticipated.
Some of you have realized you have created something very special that could really flourish.
Yet, you are in unchartered territory on the business side of things.
As a mom of three kids from elementary school to college, a wife, caregiver, volunteer, mentor, coach and employer, I'm seeking ways to have a greater impact in this next half of my life.
I want to be part of the domino effect of helping you build and stabilize your business so you can serve more clients at a higher level and create more positive change in this world.
Oh, do we need more change in this world?
That's why I'm excited to share my expertise on strategy, operations, team positioning, visibility, mindset and client boundaries with you.
We have so many great episodes headed your way.
Remember my friend, you can serve mission driven organizations while creating a business that not only gives you time, freedom, but also provides for you and your vip's now and in the future.
