Often we find that when running a non-profit foundation or non-profit business that there are less regulations involved. Some say that non-profits are inherently inefficient like government. You see there are penalties of doing business as a Corporation in a Sea of Political Correctness; too many lawyers and bureaucrats creating barriers to forward progress. It is interesting that many decry using a non-profit vehicle to solving a major problem or moving the ball down the field. Recently I explained this to a gentleman who then apologized for offending me using such a non-profit vehicle towards my end goal, as he felt he had inadvertently hurt my feelings when he indicated that non-profits are inefficient. I told him; No worries, but I find I can do greater good without the confines of over regulations in the profit sector or worrying if it will affect our franchisees (formerly in the Franchising Business) if I say something that MIGHT offend someone? I mean today you could call someone an oriental, handicapped, black, mexican and tomorrow they will call you a racist because you did not change your website to read; Asian, physically challenged, African American, Hispanic and that could affect cash flow and sales. Governments and large non-profits are inefficient and wasteful and more often than not do not accomplish their end goal. Instead so busy attempting to do all the politically correct things and politically correct means that they do not accomplish the ends. Consider all this in 2006. |
