First 10 days of Steptember done, and we're already smashing our #steptember goal! 💪 27% of our goal achieved with over 2,749,094 steps crushed, and $3.5K raised for an amazing cause!

It's easy to get caught up in the dollar amount raised. But often, short term sacrifices pay off with long term fundraising success. Impact goes beyond money, and here are three essential metrics that help us understand it better:

It's nearly time for our Strategy Café with David Levine: How to Raise Money Like a Pro by a Pro! He has raised millions in funding for both his own business & for others. Tune in as he shares his guide for founders looking to raise funds & tackle barriers https://hubs.li/Q02mfRzj0

Of course, business leaders know they have a duty to survive and thrive.

Last week for getting those steps in and record your results

One of the things we often take for granted is how privileged we are to have access to career guidance. Hearing about different careers and talking to professionals or entrepreneurs in various fields has significantly influenced what I studied at university and shaped my current career path. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to this, and that is one of our WHYS for this project. Please join us as we fundraise for this initiative. The proceeds from the race go towards sponsoring a student on this transformative journey. You can: - Buy a ticket to come walk or run with us! 🏃♀️ - Run/walk with us virtually (wherever you are) - Buy a ticket for someone else (if you cannot make it) Together, we can make a difference and provide valuable career guidance to those who need it most. Every step you take helps shape a future.

As we come to the end of the STEPtember month, i thought i'd share some facts and figures on our efforts to provide awareness and ask if you can help in any way to contribute to an amazing cause: - 2,195,545 steps completed (target is 3 million) - $223 raised (target $5000...ambitious yes, possible yes with your help) Mojo Soup will be matching what we raise as a team up to $1000, so with just a little more help we can get to at least $2000 before the end of the week. Here are a few more motivating stats to provide some perspective of what $10 could be spent on versus giving a little to help research and care: - 2 coffees (if your lucky) - a pint of ben and jerry's ice cream (if it's on sale, usually $15 but worth every cent) - a boost juice smoothie (small) - train ticket from the Gold Coast to Brisbane (actually not quite, it's now $11.46) - a pint of beer (during happy hour) Every $ counts, let's go!

This is about writers, their books and supporting them and WOTS. Please consider donating and dive into a book during the process! Chi miigwetch!

A shareholder recently convicted me that #fundraising should be FUN… not burdensome. What are your tips and tricks to make fundraising enjoyable and not stressful?? Here’s some I’ve learned… 1. Pray first 2. Break down the big goal into smaller and bite-sized goals 3. Stay at my shareholders homes vs hotels… it keeps me relational vs transactional. 4. Be vulnerable about what you don’t know and what’s not going well 5. Aim to meet with other like-minded people who value the same things you do
