Then I read one that says, " don't be afraid to share your obstacles." So here I am.
This excel spreadsheet screen shot is my obstacle:
It probably doesn't make any sense to anyone, but it meant we have to raise nearly a thousand dollars more per month. How are we supposed to increase our fundraising? I am fine with living hand to mouth but our recent committee meeting has proven this is not the way to go.
So, we have raised an average of $2,419.01 in Q1, and have to raise an average of $3410,99 per month in Q2.
The only way I can get that to happen to is to build a marketing team, because online appeals alone are no longer going to work if we want to raise a thousand dollars more each month.
But there are no leaders. Be it because of aptitude, or availability.
So it has to be me.
As Mother Theresa would say: don't wait for leaders, do it person to person.
This is of course causing me a lot more stress than usual and thus this blog post. I don't think we can achieve this target but I will start trying, for I already am, by sharing this obstacle with you.
