Here’s to going into 2020 with the hope - the expectation - that YOU WILL FAIL. And by failing - you will get better, stronger and faster. You will also get to practice that it’s not what happens to you, but how you react from it that matters most.

Why are we so uncomfortable?

We get so uncomfortable being uncomfortable. For the record, I am the most uncomfortable all the time. And it got me thinking....fundraising can be SUPER uncomfortable.

I've spent $4,479 on my professional development and am looking to double it in 2020

The truth is - at least in my experience in the nonprofit space - we are running so fast on the treadmill that we rarely stop, pull up and work to develop ourselves personally or professionally. And guess what - we are not better for it. Seriously, I’ve never met a person who thinks: I’m SO glad I didn’t spend any time on myself working to get better.
