46. Your current system is perfectly designed for the results you’re getting. That may be great news, or that may be bad news.

47. Connect the dots. You need to figure out a way for every single volunteer in your organization to understand what they contribute to the whole.

48. The very best people are busy people. Because of that, you need to define the terms of service. What’s the commitment required?

49. Fresh starts always provide momentum. Let volunteers take a break and then start up again. (Tony’s side note: That’s why launching a new weekend series every 5 or 6 weeks is so important.)

50. Eliminate the competition. If you try to do everything, you’ll run out of volunteers. One of the questions that’s asked around NP is this: Where do we have competing systems?

51. ………..

Sorry, it’s a panel session. I lost focus. Nothing against the speakers. It was just too late in the day for me to engage in this session.

By the way, if you ever have to plan a conference, I recommend you avoid scheduling a panel discussion for a keynote session. I’ve never seen one work. Let’s face it, if North Point can’t pull off a panel, no one can pull off a panel.
