Cold calling doesn’t work well in fundraising, and it’s no fun. Use the tools you need, just don’t try to keep everything stored in your brain. You will forget to make key Asks if you don’t keep a calendar and consult it daily. If you don’t have a system, make that a priority for this year! We all hate it, so don’t go there.

It's a nice mix as you have someone from a larger org, someone from a smaller org, and a consultant-type. I love it.

This idea was all about having a consultant or staff person whose job was to help staff members develop self-care strategies and actually took the time for self-care.
