Two years ago, I hired my first contractor through LinkedIn, but I found much more than that: a friend and kindred spirit.

He wrote this song about his cousin, who was taken too soon.

"Te vas, A un lugar, Donde vas a brillar."

Please don't take my word for it, take theirs.

When I built the bundle, my goal was to make fundraising support accessible to even the smallest of teams.

You know what helped me the most when I was starting out as a consultant? Learning from other successful consultants.

Why don't nonprofit leaders do the same?

This is why I started working on the Packed with Impact bundle.

You don't have to be perfect.

There is so much pressure on everyone to constantly perform, post on all platforms, send emails regularly, share new stories... it can be EXHAUSTING.

Don't be perfect, just show up.

And that's ok.

I feel we have gone overboard with simplifying our lives like...

🪥 Brushing your teeth.

Do we really need an automated toothpaste-squeezing device?

No, and neither should all your emails.

Not everything in your nonprofit needs to be automated.

How can you make your donors feel welcome?

Be like Debbie. When I told her I was stopping in Nairobi, she immediately made plans to have me picked up at the airport, made a sign, and got me flowers.

This is how you build relationships.

You know how excited your dog gets when they see you?

It could have been 5 minutes or in our case, over 2 months, dogs always make us feel loved when they see us.

Imagine if that was how our donors felt every time they made a donation?

To focus on new donors or past donors? That is the question.

According to many reports, the answer is past donors. #Stewardship is king to get monthly donors.

How many monthly subscriptions do you have?

Let's test out my theory.

How many monthly subscriptions do you have? Excluding utilities such as your internet and phone bill.

Do you prefer paying things monthly or one-time fees?
