Should you start a business or a nonprofit?
In this episode, we’re comparing the differences between a business and a nonprofit. There’s no perfect answer, but I’ll give you some considerations to help you decide which is the best route for your situation.
I also share a conversation with Jon Saunders, one of my Fast Track to Grant Writer students. We chat about some challenges and differences surrounding both business and nonprofit work. He has experience in both too, so we compare notes on things we’ve seen. Jon is the founder of Future Focus Global, a social impact organization.
Either way, starting a business or a nonprofit is a long game. Keep at it because the world needs you making an impact.
