Can you secure a huge unrestricted major gift simply because you’re in the right headspace?
Can you change your reality with a simple mindset shift?
I think so.
But before you throw up your anti-woo cross fingers at me, hear me out… 🙅
If you see yourself as a capable, confident fundraiser who is good at handling large amounts of money and making change happen, you’re more likely to receive the funds you need to accomplish your mission.
And, you’re more likely to accomplish your mission. 😄
But the purpose of the mindset shift isn’t magical; it’s psychological.
If you intentionally choose to identify as a capable, confident fundraiser, you will unconsciously do the things that capable, confident fundraisers do.
🦞 You’ll hang out with the high achievers.
🦞 You’ll rub elbows with people who have influence.
🦞 You won’t see yourself as an imposter because you belong in all the spaces where a high-achiever would be.
It’s the same way you can turn down a cigarette because you’re a non-smoker. It’s a no brainer.
And, unfortunately, the opposite is true too.
If you don’t see yourself as someone who is capable and confident, it’s very likely you’ll make choices that reflect what’s going on inside of you. 🦀
But how can you make the shift to get the gift?

So, are you ready to align your identity with your achievements and lead with confidence and clarity? Discover how to navigate the discomfort of growth, the power of surrounding yourself with the right community, and ultimately, how to step fully into your upgraded identity.
