For Impact

August 11th to 15th is For Impact’s CAMPAIGN WEEK
(our version of ‘Shark Week’ on the Discovery Channel).

To kick it off and get you in the right frame of mind, I’ve summarized
33 LESSONS I have learned in helping manage over 300 ‘Campaigns’
and raising over $1B.

Some are self-explanatory. Others are ‘Suddes Shorthand’. (You can download
the entire CAMPAIGN MANIFESTO, TAKE A QUANTUM LEAP for free between now and Aug 15.)

Every org we talk with is IN a Campaign, just coming OUT of a Campaign,
or PLANNING a Campaign.

I hope one of these lessons is the breakthrough for a QUANTUM LEAP ?
