MIND YOUR METRICS.

Most organizations are fueled
By profit, purpose, power or
Some potent combination of them
In varying ratios
Mind your metrics.

Most businesses run on
A principle of profit
While ministries and charitable originations
Operate on a priority of purpose
Political institutions and elected officials

On the other hand are driven by
The pursuit of power
While each of these three key motivators
Has a core ethic all have
Traces of the others within them.

If a nonprofit organization
Is consistently not profitable
Then it cannot be sustainable
It’s naïve to think you can focus
Solely on purpose without attending.

Diligently to the facts and finances
Surrounding the goal that’s prioritized
One must be prepared to consider the specific
Metrics used to determine success
Business isn’t measured by longevity alone.
