Essential reading for anyone serious about starting a nonprofit

This book answered pretty much all of the questions I had about starting up a 501 C nonprofit corporation. There is a lot of misinformation out there on the internet and seeing a lawyer is very expensive. I don't know that this book can be a complete alternative to hiring a lawyer, but it can get you off the ground in the right way and make sure you don't make any big blunders in the process.

For what it costs this book is excellent value and if you are at all serious about setting up a nonprofit then I would say it is essential reading. Even if you do end up hiring a lawyer, at least have the knowledge and background you need to ask intelligent questions and understand what is going on so no one takes you for a ride.

Way better value than hiring a lawyer

This book did basically exactly the same thing as the lawyer did except I paid the lawyer $1000 last time I started the business and this time I read this book and did it myself. Don't bother with the blood sucking lawyer just get this and set your nonprofit fast and easy all by yourself. You don't have money to waste when you're starting a nonprofit and too many lawyers just don't understand this.

Saved a bundle and a lawyer approved of our docs

My partner and I successfully used this book to start out non-profit. We had a lawyer look over the final docs and saved a bundle. Lawyer said everything was good to go. The book has specific advice pertaining to different states where they differ so you can probably use this guide to get your non-profit up and running regardless of where you live.

but in a way that makes me feel like the author and I are being smart together

This is an engaging book, and I ate it up in about three or four sittings.

Author: Noah Fleming, Shawn Veltman, Debra Margles - Foreword

Narrator: Tom Parks, Cristina Panfilio

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-28-17

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Whether you're in the trenches or the boardroom, you're going to encounter demanding, dissatisfied, and disagreeable customers. Are your people (and you) prepared to deal with them?

Ignore a valid complaint and you could be the next viral sensation for all the wrong reasons. But give in to every demand and you may be consumed with the often petty complaints of your worst customers and wind up pandering to them with freebies, discounts, and special attention. That will cost you time and money, and perhaps worse, do little or nothing to solve the root problem.

What if the customer's dissatisfaction was the result of your sales procedures, your lack of training, or the expectations gap created by your marketing people, not the customer's fault at all? What if you could turn those customers into your best customers by making a few simple changes?

Dealing with Difficult Customers will show you:

Remember travel agencies? They were a thriving business not so long ago. Then online services transformed the industry, and brick-and-mortar travel agencies died - and died quickly.

Consultant Max Zanan applies 15 years of automotive-industry experience to the future of the car dealership. Arguing that dealerships must make significant changes if they are to survive the coming storm, Zanan takes a close look at every department within the business, including:

Perfect Dealership - Surviving the digital disruption

Perfect Dealership - Surviving the digital disruption.

By Max Zanan

This book is a must read for anyone in the automotive world. As a seasoned veteran of the car industry, I found the book to cover essential topics, such as utilizing software properly such as CRM, Dealertrack etc, - Online Sales Techniques and Compliance Training. The book broke down each department that one would find in a thriving dealership. The "Perfect Dealership" pointed out the steps & tools that could be immediately implemented that would drive up revenue and retain customer loyalty. Having the "Perfect Dealership" as part of your training materials would help develop and cultivate employee engagement, motivation, by teaching the importance of managing time and dealing with clients. Anyone in a leadership role would be able to grasp Max's usable insight, which in turn would allow them to optimize their teams talents, build a team environment between departments. Thus, improve sales and the overall morale of the dealership. Max, Great Job and Book..... (R. Buckley)

Members Reviews:

It's start-up basics with plenty of details

Overall:

It's a good book. I've been in building different businesses from scratchs for a while now, and am currently at a point where we're rising the investment. There was a lot info that is simple common sense, but common sense isn't always common practice, so it's important for someone to remind it time to time.

Pros:

1. The thing I liked the most about this book is that my startup idea seems to be very good from all sides - well researched, 10x better than everything else on the market, excellent market opportunities and many other good points. What it requires is a better feedback from users, preferably them being ready to pay for it. Indeed, I reduced my valuation of my company and understood what needs to be done to get to the valuation I strive for.

2. The approach to the subject is very, very correct. It gets people out off their dream worlds and shows them the path that a real startup would need to take.

3. Most problems that a startup will conduct are well noted here. And it starts from the very beginning, the idea, and goes to rising money and operating the business when its damn hard.

4. The narrator has an excellent voice, and is easy to listen.

5. The amount of literature references is huge, and when you know what is your weak point - youre able to go and get a specific book on the subject.

6. There are interviews/quotes from many start-upers and people who funded them, which underlines how the concepts Brad and Sean are telling us about are found important and what influence they can have in real life.

Cons:

1.

Members Reviews:

Good book with very relevant guidance on how to tackle disruption as an established/incumbent player.

There are plenty of books describing some form of utilization of the innovators dilemma mechanisms combined with cheap capital and new business models mixed with digitization. However, these tends to focus on the startup situation - how to beat established companies..

It is refreshing with a book on how to "defend" against disruption, being an incumbent company (where most of us works).

Further it provides a pragmatic approach where you have options for, harvest retreat, occupy, disrupt - all as valid options depending on the situation - its not a one answer.

It is a bit long with tons of examples, and some times feels a bit blurred partly due to this in the key messages.

While the book advice "competences" that you need to have/build, and approaches you can take it is not a change management book - there is not much guidance (but a long list of examples from other companies and what they have done) on how to actually implement needed changes - but I assume this is deliberate.

Great read on how digital disruption works

Great read on how digital disruption works, inevitable movement of industries toward Digital Vortex, and why it is crucial that companies have to pursue digital business transformation to disrupt themselves and stay ahead. Finally, the "Afterword" chapter describes how this book on digital disruption got published in half the time following a disruptive approach from book cover design to content research to production.

Must Read for Executives and Change Managers

Compelling research on how industries must recognize & then reorganize for the digital tsunami that is surrounding us. Very readable yet profound insights.

Five Stars
