Remarkable quotes:
The six Figure fundraising formula… it's magic.
It means getting rid of your tin cup and stop begging for money and chasing money.
I'm asking, inviting enrolling people with a joyful ask and allowing them to be a part.
If you are just trying to fundraise to keep the doors open, that's not a joyful outcome for your donors.
The last thing you want in the room is that drunken distractor.
So not only did we reduce the crowd to 300 people, we reduced the cost exorbitantly right, massive reduction in cost, and the next event. In the end, we had $320,000 raised.
