2. Identify and Recruit Prospective Partners: Determine the supply of potential partners. Prioritize the individuals and organizations that can help you.
3. Work Backward from Goals: Work backward from what you want to accomplish, identifying tangible goals. Then generate a to-do list that propels the project forward.
