~ Start-Up Non-Profit Company ~

CoolDude68 said:

As I close in on being 50 years-old and learning more about faith and living for God, not man, I am getting this new desire to look into a non-profit type business where I can help others in some capacity how having God as the center point in their lives will change them. The problem is I have absolutely no experience about non-profit organizations or what it takes to get one going.

I work for a private company where there's no joy or satisfaction for what I do. It's just a routine duty and not very exciting at all. Typical American job, working for the man. Although, it pays the bills but that's about it.

I'd like to wake up in the morning and feel an overwhelming joy and sense of reward and accomplishment in my duties while I have some time left on this planet. I'd like to start something on the side, something in my spare time, that may lead into making a living doing it. My goal is not being wealthy, just enough to sustain a living and pay bills. The more important thing for me is working for the Lord and job reward.

Anyone familiar with non-profit type businesses or links where I can look into it more? As of now I don't know what direction it would be at all, just getting ideas for now.

Thanks folks!

Right now this is just sticking my big toe out there to see if the waters are too cold, or hot to even venture into something like that. I've become accustom to working for someone else and I know taking on a personal nonprofit venture would be 24/7 extremely hard work and that's not something I'm use to! Not that I'm lazy, but it would have to be something I'd really get in to. The issue is, I don't know what. I need to really pray about this to seek answers. But I feel there's something waiting for me in life on this earth, I just need time to discover it and look for signs that will guide me to it. What I'm doing now is pointless, boring and a waste of human time. At least I know this much.

I hear about stories constantly about nonprofit organizations doing this, and doing that and they joy it brings to everyone involved. If they can do it, why can't I? After all, somebody had the idea, they just acted on it.

Sorry, just rambling....
