Thank you to everyone who supported my fundraising campaign for the Bridge to Brisbane today! What an incredible event! Feeling a little stiff and sore - but it was totally worth it to raise money for a great cause. My reflection: - The end goal seems like a long way when your at the start line. - Celebrate every milestone along the way. - If you need to slow down it’s ok, have a breather and get back into it. - Don’t give up! - Share the wins with your loved ones. - Do it for a purpose. - Have FUN! - Set micro goals to achieve a bigger goal. - Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing, run your own race. - It will all be worth it when you finish and look back. - Think about how you can improve next time. Sounds like it could be 10km run 🏃 or any goal! #thankyou #reflection #goals

To raise money as a small non-profit, people need to know, like and trust you. At the beginning stages, you are the representation of the organization as the founder. Before people think of your organization, they must have thought about you. This is because your organization has yet to build as much social capital as you have as an individual. So everybody begins to look at your organization through you as the lens. This is why you must be up and about promoting and nurturing your organization. People need to see you building day in and day out for them to buy into your vision. They will look at your integrity and capacity to judge the integrity and capacity of your organization. If you lack integrity, it's time you begin to start intentionally building and promoting your integrity. If you lack capacity, you better begin building capacity because your organization will be judged by your capacity. This is why, to be successful at the beginning stages, you must build your know, like and trust factors as It will definitely rub off on your organization in no time.

Incentives and commissions – should nonprofits consider them? Let's not judge the sales profession; instead, let's learn from it. While the sector deems commissions unethical, team bonuses are okay. Did you know...? Sales teams often perform better with team bonuses, too. Discover the nuances and rethink how fundraising teams are compensated.
