For Impact Ideas | | Tom Suddes

On my latest trip to Ireland, I was walking down Grafton Street and there were a number of ‘volunteers’ out selling chocolate bars, Butlers Chocolate no less!

The purpose was to aid the HOPE FOUNDATION, who work with ‘street and slum children’.

With complete admiration for what the Hope Foundation is doing, and with absolutely no disrespect whatsoever…

HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY!!!

As Rick Page says on the cover of his great book, you need a lot more than ‘HOPE’ to actually FUND YOUR VISION!

Gentle reminder today to DO YOUR MATH and put a self-fulfilling 1,000-DAY FUNDING PLAN together.
