| 24 Jan 2023 | 5. Don't Follow the Leader: Part 1 | 00:19:41 | |
I'm taking you back to 3rd grade and the snarky trick Ms. Crowder played on our class and the life lesson that took me many years to learn from it. Find out how following the leader can get you further away from achieving your goal, and keep you stuck from accessing your own expertise and voice.
Following the leader results in homogeneous, boring marketing. The same redundant calls-to-action and boring social campaigns. Your audience wants to hear YOUR unique point of view. Plus, hear about why I chose to have a waterbirth with my son, and how I dealt with vast, unhelpful opinions from friends and family, and "experts." When you create your own strategy, unique point of view, or decision, you must trust and believe in yourself first in order to create the support to handle the naysayers.

As a part of the launch for the next round of The Purpose & Profit™ Coaching Program, I’ve done a lot of free chats with people who want to join. Since the calls, I’ve formulated a list of common issues that nonprofits are facing when it comes to investing in their organization’s growth. The funny thing? Whether their organization raises $1 million+ or $20K, I hear the same issues when it comes to getting the okay from leadership to essentially spend money to make money. There are the same limiting beliefs, the same fears, and the same unmet needs for capacity building. Today I want to talk about having the faith to take a leap, because on the other side could be your biggest win. Topics:

Have you ever heard the saying, “Never skip a day,” if you've tried to create a new habit, started a New Year's resolution, or have had any sort of health or fitness related goal, you've probably have. But on today’s episode of the Purpose & Profit Club™, I want to share why I hate this saying and why I think it's just a perfectionist trap. And instead, we’ll talk about how to create new habits, set better goals, how to stick to them, and how I've done this in my own professional and personal life. Plus, if you do like the mentality of never skipping a day, I’m covering what to do if life happens and you inevitably do have to skip a day. I want you to think of one goal you have, decide the habits you’ll create and the guardrails you’ll put in place to achieve them. Then, I want you to ditch the idea that you’ve got to be perfect at implementing it. Topics:

| 30 Apr 2024 | 91. The 2 Tried and True Things to Help Your Organization Grow: Prospecting & Outreach | 00:20:56 | |
Today we're talking about two things that are required to grow your mission, to grow your impact, to grow your funding, AND to grow your visibility. You have to do these two things repeatedly in order for your organization to grow—prospecting and outreach. I know, I know, these are not the most exciting things to do, but I'm going to walk you through how I handle prospecting and outreach, and how I've literally built three different businesses using a method that works for me. Prospecting and outreach does not have to feel like it's tight and cold calling or the most stressful thing ever. This method works, it is how I started my first business back in 2007, and again, started another business in 2011 solely using prospecting and outreach. Many times entrepreneurs get stuck because they've got a great business idea and they build a website for it, they get some business cards for it, and then it's like just waiting, just waiting for the people to come buy the thing, right? That is not how you build a profitable business. The same is true for nonprofits. They apply for their 501c3 status, they get their website, they get maybe a board of directors, and then they're waiting. What you need is a model for prospecting and outreach that is doable, that is rinse and repeat and part of your annual, monthly, and weekly plan. Tune in to find out how to create yours to increase your donorship today.

Today's guest is a real treat, I'm so excited to welcome Karena from Hello Inner Light to the podcast because l've been a big fan of her work for a while. If you have ever tried meditation, affirmations, or thought work and felt like something was missing, you're really going to love today's episode because of the way that Karena teaches this process of somatic healing and just Havening® to relieve stress. I find it much more accessible than the other traditional routes. Throughout this live session replay, Karena guides us through a Havening session specifically designed for changemakers and nonprofit executives, so bookmark this episode in advance of your next big meeting because it is perfect for that. Just a heads up, you're going to hear some background about Karena because I interview her at the beginning of the episode, so we learn a little bit more about her work and what Havening is and somatic healing are. Then you'll also hear some questions or some prompts from me to the audience. We did record this live and we had audience members who were going through the session with us, so l wanted to share that context with you before we begin. Enjoy!

| 21 May 2024 | 94: Donor Advised Funds: What they are and why you need to know about them with Mitch Stein | 00:42:45 | |
Donor Advised Funds… maybe this topic you haven’t heard of, or maybe it’s something that exudes a bit of an eye roll. Mitch Stein, Head of Strategy at Chariot, is joining me today on the podcast to flip what you think you know about Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) upside down. He says, “... being more engaged with DAF fundraising is critical. If you're not presenting this to your donors you’re 100% missing out.” If you’re a listener of the show, I know you’d never want to leave money on the table knowingly, and this conversation will help you avoid that. Mitch is breaking down exactly what Donor Advised Funds are, how they can alleviate friction in fundraising, and some exciting innovations that are coming down the pike with fundraising technology. This episode is really exciting, and I hope that when you listen you’ll feel yourself open up to new revenues of donating.

| 28 May 2024 | 95: [Training Replay] The #1 Shift to Make to Your Lead Gen & Ask Process | 00:28:55 | |
I recently hosted an advanced training that was all about the number one shift to make to your lead gen and outreach strategy, and the conversation and the coaching ended up being so good that I knew I had to share some of it on the podcast today. So if you hear some prompts happening in the recording, that's why. We had a live group on and one of my clients graciously said we can share her coaching because if you're like her, she's like, this is great and all but why do I actually say, what do I say when a prospect says this? What do I say when I'm talking about our programs? What do I actually say in, leading up to, and during the meeting to actually ask for funding or to upgrade a funder? So we did live coaching and it was so good, and I think you'll find it really helpful as you start to improve upon and develop your lead gen and outreach strategy. So don't forget to take action from this training. If you need more support in doing it, more guidance, more support, more commitment, more accountability, more motivation to make it happen, that's the work we're doing in my coaching program, the Purpose & Profit Club, you can always go to the link in the show notes to hop on the waitlist.

In this episode, I’m exploring the impact of negative thoughts and assumptions on nonprofit marketing, fundraising, and how you view the world around you, and your possibility for success.
