Business rule #437:
Sometimes your "big break" comes from being in the right place at the right time.
That is exactly what happened to this Christian GoFundMe alternative.
ICYMI
- GoFundMe suspended the Canadian freedom truckers multimillion-dollar fundraiser for a second time last week.
- On Friday, they labeled the fundraiser as an "occupation" (whatever that means), and will now only accept refund **requests** until Feb 19.
- After that, they will redistribute the leftover money to other "credible charities" of GoFundMe's choosing. Probably BLM.
Obviously, donors were outraged.
As Tucker Carlson put it:
"I don't know if this is illegal, but it should be."
In protest, donors moved to GiveSendGo.
Pledging to boycott GoFundMe FOREVER!
What's cool is GiveSendGo didn't just become a success overnight.
They have been the #1 Free Christian Crowdfunding Site for YEARS.
And just happened to be in the right place at the right time during GoFundMe's latest PR nightmare.
Their "moment" may have come all at once on the surface, but there were THOUSANDS of other moments filled with hard work and sacrifice that 97% of us never saw.
But hey! That's business!
Most successful entrepreneur's would agree with Business Rule #437.
Admitting that their own company's growth was slow at first, but eventually had its opportunity to serve the masses **only** when the timing was right.
In other words...
They were in the right place at the right time.

Reflect on this story the next time you are in the trenches working on your own venture. Whatever that may be.
Those long hours WILL pay off.
Patience is key.
