If you fail to plan…

When I turned 16, I did what any self-respecting Californian does. I showed up at the DMV ready to get my license and hit the open road. I was picturing roaring down the highway, wind in my hair, sun setting and radio blasting as I headed into Happily Ever After.

It was going OK, until I took a right turn a little too sharply and…um, sort of hit the curb.

#Fail

Now, for a high-achieving, Type triple A keener like me, this was a devastating blow.

In retrospect, it was probably good for my ego and character and blah blah blah, but at the time it just sucked.

The takeaway here is that I actually was not prepared to drive on the open road. The state of California was 100% correct to not give me a license.

Even though I thought I was ready, the curb demonstrated that I was clearly not.

Learn from my mistakes.

Preparation is key.

That’s why I want you to come along on the Roadtrip with my biz besties so that you can be ready for the end of year.

#Realtalk:

👉 Donors are on the decline
👉 Retention numbers have never been worse
👉 And donors who give $100 or less are the most challenging to get to come back

But there is good news {{First Name}}.

You can work smarter, not harder and get massive Q3 and Q4 fundraising results.

But the work starts NOW ⏰.

Luckily, some of my biz besties and I have you covered.
