Be Fearless
“Looking back we found we were most successful when we were fearless – when we explored and experimented – and the least successful when fear or caution became a dominant driver of decision-making.”
(The Case Foundation)
![Page 12: Money Matter$: Building a Funders Collaborative. Planning is only as good as its implementation! Investing in plan implementation is critical to success!](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551c1886550346b24f8b57bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To be fearless means …
…setting audacious goals, acting urgently and boldly, being unafraid of risk, being willing to strike unlikely alliances, and accepting the possibility of failure while pressing forward.
![Page 13: Money Matter$: Building a Funders Collaborative. Planning is only as good as its implementation! Investing in plan implementation is critical to success!](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551c1886550346b24f8b57bc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It does not mean…
Reckless abandon, foolhardiness or arrogance, or presuming we have all the answers!
