What revenue line?

It's Monday morning and I am still recovering from another round of illness in my house. Jonah got a rash and then a cold that I then caught. Of course my cold turned into a sinus and ear infection. Of course.

 

I still have that "cotton" feeling in my right ear and my body is filled with aches and pains, yet I am filled with clarity and purpose. Why?

 

The 10th Annual Social Enterprise Summit that I attended last week rocked my world. What has me so excited right now are the tips I got from one of the sessions, "Coming Up For Air. How to Work Smarter, Not Harder, to
Advance Your Organization"

 

Most of us have attended some type of a time management class. What has me so fired up is this quote from Julie Morgenstern, which is powerful for anyone raising funds.

 

"You'll always be safe if you start with the task closest to revenue line, because it clears the deck, providing you with a sense of relief rather than with stress."

 

Duh.

 

I learned more from this session than just this quote, but this was the "ah-ha!" moment for me. Thanks to Catherine Markman from Global Brigades for a great session!
