Cookie Dough Fundraising: The Big Goals
A cookie dough fundraising should have big goals to start. Big goals are big encouragements to the organization. It is where it all starts. Invest on big goals and something big will come out of it.
A goal unites differences so it is important that everyone goes with it. A cookie dough fundraising should be founded on goals because it is what’s driving the organization. A goal is a purpose; it is an objective everyone is working towards to so it should be worth working for. It should not be selfish; it should involve everyone in the organization and not just for individual gain. It should cover the scope of the whole organization that, it is for the good of the organization along with concerns for the customers and the business world. It should not be limited instead, it should be as extreme as it can be; like “being the best fundraising, the most stable organization” and so many more. It should always go after perfection, to aim the number one spot, or reach the highest position. It should be something big, powerful and intensifying.
A goal to be worth it should be powerful enough to command every person to follow or force someone to do something. In short, it should be compelling enough to be believable. When you make your goals compelling enough, it as well forces the team to work in coordination with each other. As a positive side effect, it unites everyone to work as a team for the organization or else, nothing will happen. This is a sign for the organization to know if their goals are not just a simple 5 letter word but an influential word that has created a statement that moved everyone to cooperate to reach these goals. It is powerful to the point that everyone are willing to set aside personal issues and differences just to achieve these goals and to create a significant change in the organization. This becomes a change beyond expectation that changes not only the organization but even the life of each and everyone. Not all goals have these deep effects on people and once a goal has these effects, it becomes extraordinary goals already, something exceptional.
Another fact about goals is that, it should have the illusion of “not being easily reachable”. In short, it should be challenging. If goals are just easily reachable, just a single stretch of the hand then people will be lame. Big goals are said to be big goals because it is so big that you cannot easily reach and achieve it; it should be difficult to reach that you have to sweat for it. This is what makes everyone better. Just like life, if life is as simple as 1-2-3, if everything has been already provided then we will not learn. If not because of trials and challenges, we will not be this good. Things have to be difficult to appreciate the little things, same with goals. It has to be big for people to be interested. So everything written above are the qualities of a big goal and big steps are needed to achieve them.
