more established, begin to see results and become more confident, these people will not have as much of an effect on you. Continuous Improvement – All successful organizations have a mechanism to incorporate continuous improvement. Life is one big learning experience and this venture is no exception. You may do something one way, and then realize it would have been much more efficient and useful to do that same thing another way. Being open-minded to suggestions for how to do things better and constantly reevaluating your operations to increase effectiveness is a very important skill. We suggest having “hindsight meetings.” Hindsight meetings will allow you and anyone else involved in your organization (including those you are serving) to offer feedback and creative suggestions for how to make your operations run more smoothly next time around. You may have heard the phrase “hindsight is 20/20.” At no time is this truer than when trying to accomplish something you have never attempted before.
