Have you ever thought about starting a non-profit so you can do the good work you want to do?
Christian LeFer, founder and CEO of InstantNonprofit is here to talk about the why's, the wherefore's and the how's of starting a non profit.
Christian LeFer empowers others to "be the change they want to see" at his company InstantNonprofit. He believes you can sign up & turn your nonprofit idea into a tax-exempt 501c3 in an hour or less, minus IRS or lawyer calls- so you can focus on your mission.
A decade ago, he volunteered to start a nonprofit with some friends: thinking "How hard can it be?" He became morally outraged at the brain-numbing application process, the 1-year-plus approval timeline, and the attorney fees.
When he didn't hear back from his assigned agent, he dialed 30+ similar extensions (changing the last few numbers) in IRS Exempt Organizations, grilling agents and formulating a "love letter to a bureaucrat: The perfect 501(c)3 Application." He got approval in under 60 days, and went from "blogger" to "businessman."
Today, with an efficient tech-enabled process, a 100% IRS approval guarantee, and a staff who believes "It shouldn't be hard to do good," his company is the fast, easy, and #1 most highly-rated 501(c)3 service in the niche.

How to Use TikTok if you're an entrepreneur or a creative and you're just starting out
Have you been avoiding TikTok because it's for young people, or you don't know how to use it even though it has over a billion active users? Then today's episode is for you. I've broken and detailed how I'm doing it. I just joined. I've done a bunch of research, and I'm using the app to gain followers, build a community, and have actual meaningful interactions with the people who follow me. TikTok is a strange critter.
Last night, some friends and I decided TikTok is like New York City.
Just like in New York City, anything you're interested in, you'll find a TikTok community that's already doing it.
If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
I invite you to try TikTok and see what you can do to build a following and a real community on this platform. And if you have questions, book a discovery call with me below. I'll answer any I can.

What to do when there's no communication common ground
Sometimes, despite your best efforts, communication fails. For example, the person you're trying to communicate with devolves into screaming within the first sentence. When this happens, when they threaten to turn violent, you have to realize, normal techniques of communication won't work. In those cases, you have have the presence of mind to remove yourself gracefully from the situation and then take care of yourself. What can you do to do that?
