Purpose & Profit Club™ – The Nonprofit Fundraising Podcast

I’m coming to you after just arriving home from my month-long trip to Panama, blending remote work with family vacation. I thought I would share the mixed reactions we received about our adventure and relate this to how organizations often face skepticism when trying new ideas. The main theme revolves around the concept of how thoughts become our reality and how our beliefs drive our actions towards achieving goals. I’m touching on the think-feel-do cycle, illustrating it with inspiring examples like athlete Anna Hall’s use of affirmations to qualify for the Olympics. I also share a cautionary tale from a local restaurant in my neighborhood that failed due to poor marketing strategies, highlighting the importance of proactive customer engagement. Through these stories, I emphasize the power of positive thinking and visualization in overcoming challenges and achieving success. If you’re ready to become the hero of your cause rather than being stuck in resignation, this episode is for you.
Topics:

• How your thoughts become your reality and can positively or negatively influence growth, funding, and visibility.
• The think-feel-do cycle and how this cognitive-behavioral concept affects goal achievement.
• How to use affirmations and visualizations to achieve your goals (inspired by olympian, Anna Hall)
• Two of the biggest lies you can tell yourself when it comes to being loud in your marketing
• The power of doing just one thing for your cause every day and how this creates more inspired action
• Putting your biggest fans and supporters at the forefront of your decision making for your organization
• Getting away from resignation and frustration and centering yourself as the hero of your cause
