Mini-consults get results on a shoestring

As someone who worked for small and medium nonprofits (and farms for that matter), I know how far you have to stretch your resources. The idea of paying a consultant to support your visioning process, your new project, staff training, or sticky operations problem seems like a luxury for the big guys. In fact, the only time we spent money for outside help was on highly specialized trainings or executive-level problems….usually worth it, but thousands of dollars!
A coworker drew this for me during an 
appreciation exercise. If you feel this way
at your work, raise your hand(s).
