Consulting
3 Years of Altrui Consulting
My risk has totally paid off.
It’s difficult to believe that we are celebrating three years of Altrui Consulting this week.
Altrui has become one of the biggest gifts for me, an opportunity to work with many amazing nonprofits and hopefully be a part of their impact in making the world a better place.
Three years ago, I left my position as a CDO unsure of what was next. I had thought about Altrui for years and had slowly begun creating the consultancy. I had a website that was almost complete and a business plan. I simply wasn’t sure of whether I wanted to take the risk.
The risk was saying goodbye to a 40-hour a week (plus) position at another nonprofit I was passionate about, where I had a secure salary and where I could do what Ioved. Or, leaving that behind for a chance to build a consultancy from the ground up and having the opportunity to work with many nonprofits in building their relationships and fundraising. The risk was starting from scratch, with no guarantee of income.
Having a supportive husband was critical. Along with a community of friends and colleagues and of course the group of people I like to call my inner circle.
