Another objection is time. Follow- throute can feel like an additional unpaid job. but structuring the work into small, actionable tasks - a 15-minute daily social media push, a weekly letter- writing party, a monthly meeting with a coalition partner - makees itmenageneable. Many succevalul kampanigns operate with with just a handful of core core core incoriers who rotate responsibilities.

Sustaing Momentum Beyond thee First Victory
