About this listen
Do you want to become an exceptional nonprofit leader? You have a vision, you have a mission, and you have a burning desire to do good in the world. But that’s it. Starting a nonprofit seemed like the right thing to do but it hasn’t turned out to be that simple. Your skills are in driving social change, not in managing people, finding donors, and all the administrative headaches that come with running a business.
But it’s ok. All of these challenges are solvable and shouldn’t hold you back from fulfilling your purpose. That’s where The 12 Secrets of Exceptional Nonprofit Leaders comes in. In this audiobook, I’m revealing the main factors that will help a nonprofit leader go from good to great. You’ll learn things including:
- One thing that exceptional nonprofit leaders spend on average 6.5 hours doing each week
- What an elevator pitch is and what it can do for you
- How if all you’re doing is managing, then you’re doing something wrong
If you want to realize your full potential as a nonprofit leader and create massive social impact then buy this audiobook right now!

Since the 1950s, nonprofits have relied on impersonal outreach to inspire generosity from their donors. They leveraged direct mail, mass marketing, and event fundraising to drive donations. With the introduction of social media, smartphones, and a hyper-connected world, everything changed. The new normal for everyone became transparency, personalization, and a feeling of ever-present engagement. In addition, donors also had new levels of access to information to the causes they cared about. Unfortunately, as expectations evolved, nonprofit fundraisers failed to keep up.

In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.

Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation.

Wonderful Insights
Bought this as I'm planning on taking a portion of my life savings to start a nonprofit, and wasn't sure exactly what dynamics were at play for someone in my position, starting a nonprofit. This audiobooks breaks down the most necessary considerations for leading a nonprofit, how to relate to your employees, your market, and your business overall.
The narrator was easy to follow and understand, and was engaging enough to keep my attention. The content was well laid out and structured, would recommend for anyone looking to start or is already leading a nonprofit.

The making of nonprofit leader!
Recently someone I know got promoted to the president of a nonprofit she works at. This book reminds me of some of the traits she has and some that she is working on. This book is an informative guide for nonprofit leaders to evaluate and improve themselves in 12 areas that make great leadership. I like that the book is simple and well organized. This would make a good gift for people who are new to the nonprofit industry.
