Wanna Help Save the World?
I have my moments when I get very frustrated here in my job. Part of my frustration is that I came on board just in time for a huge scale back of the program, but in the long run that scale back was absolutely necessary. We have just completed contracts which can be duplicated and implemented across a number of communities, institutions and inudstries. We re-launched core programs with much more streamlined processes for scalability, and this organization is on the verge of going nationwide with unique programs to help low-income people, and people who are not reaching their potential due to lack of education and access to networks and services that successful people use to build stable secure families.
So, my boss, the one guy in the world who MAY be more ADHD than Tucker, has written a book. It's about his vision, but more than that it's about your vision. What can you do to change the world? How about your state, your town, your neighborhood?
I'll give you a tiny sneak peek and then for the rest of it you have to read the book. You know how the cliche of the past ten years has been "think outside the box?" Well, Steve, (the ADHD guy mentioned above) says that the real deal is not what's outside your box, it's what you do with the box you got. That's the title of his book, and you can order it through www.theboxyougot.com If you go to that website and enter the promo code BIGGIDEAS you can get the book for $5 off the cover price.
All proceeds go to pay for programs at America's Family. A teeny tiny portion MAY go for Administrative costs, but let me tell you those costs are low. Steve gets $0 in salary. Our COO Matt gets $0 in salary. And the two paid staff members (me and Jennifer) combined get less than $45,000 a year in salary, so we aren't like those non-profits with administrators who make a hundred thousand dollars a year telling low-income people that if they just tried a little harder they too could live well.
