The Strategy Plug

At first, I thought I needed a huge FB following to be seen as legit. 😒

More connections. More likes. More comments. 🎯

I thought that would bring the credibility. That would bring the clients.

But lately, I’ve realized something different…

It’s not about how many people follow you—it’s about who actually connects with what you’re saying.

Since I started showing up as myself—honestly, consistently, and with purpose—I’ve gained something even more valuable than followers: clarity.

I’m building in public. I’m creating space for real, aligned connections.

Not performance. Not fluff. Just purpose.

Authenticity is the strategy. ✨

Nonprofit founders, let’s talk real for a minute.

If your inbox is full of grants and RFPs…
If you’re applying to everything you see just to keep the lights on...
If you’re exhausted and still underfunded...

You’re not alone—but you might be drifting from your mission.

✨ Funding should fuel your purpose, not distract from it.

Chasing every opportunity is a survival response, but sustainable growth comes from clarity, not chaos. You don’t need more grants. You need the right grants that align with your programs, your impact, and your capacity to deliver.

Start with strategy.
Start with alignment.
Start with asking: Does this move us closer to our mission or further away from it?

If you're unsure where to begin, it's okay to ask for help. Let’s get you funded and focused.

Top Compliance Pitfalls for Small Businesses in 2024

Small businesses face a growing number of compliance challenges in 2024, from data privacy laws to labor regulations. Missing a step could lead to fines or legal issues, which can be devastating for a small business.

Why Does It Happen?

1️⃣ Rapid Regulatory Changes – Laws and regulations are constantly evolving, and small businesses often struggle to keep up, leaving them vulnerable to compliance gaps.
2️⃣ Multiple Compliance Areas – Small businesses must navigate a wide range of compliance issues, including tax, HR, data privacy, and industry-specific regulations, all at once.
3️⃣ Resource Constraints – With smaller teams and fewer resources, compliance often gets deprioritized, leaving businesses exposed to risk.
4️⃣ Outdated Processes – Relying on manual processes or outdated systems increases the chance of errors, missed deadlines, and regulatory breaches.
5️⃣ Lack of Expertise – Many small business owners and their teams lack the specialized knowledge required to effectively manage compliance across all these areas.

Practical Solutions:

▪️Update Compliance Processes: Implement cloud-based tools to streamline compliance tracking and reporting.
▪️Train Employees: Make sure everyone on your team understands the latest compliance requirements.
▪️Set Up Regular Reviews: Schedule periodic compliance checks to stay ahead of potential issues.

At MFoxx, we specialize in helping small businesses modernize their compliance processes, reducing risk and making compliance simpler to manage.

As professionals in highly regulated industries, we understand that consent orders and enforcement actions offer crucial insights into the current state of compliance. When I review these documents, I am compelled to ask:

1. Is the current regulatory landscape unrealistic?
2. Is company compliance often tied to budgets rather than being a core operational principle?
3. Or is it a matter of companies knowing what needs to be done but choosing to wait until they are warned or fined?

Surely, the answer can't be number one, right?

It's time for us to reflect deeply on these questions and drive proactive compliance measures in our organizations. Let's not wait for the hammer to drop—let's lead with integrity and foresight. Compliance should be a forethought, not an afterthought. Join me in advocating for a culture where adherence to regulations is woven into the very fabric of our business operations.

Your thoughts and experiences are invaluable—share them below. Let's spark a conversation that leads to real change.
