Ever Wanted to Give Up?

Some of you reading this may have had some difficult times and some may be even experiencing them now.  What do you do when work is hard?  Here are some steps to get you going:
  1. Think about your job.  What can you be grateful for?  I've heard a preacher say that you may not like the job you're in, but if you lost it, how much would you want to have the same job?  Write down all that you can appreciate about your job.
  2. Who has helped you get where you are?  Write them and thank them. (I suggest writing actual notes and putting them in the mail). 
  3. What are the next steps you need to take?  Write them out and put them on your calendar in priority order and do them.
  4. List the names of donors/prospects you can call for appointments.  Why would you want to speak with them?  Write it down.  Then make the calls.  Get appointments on your calendar.  Seeing donors is the best way to get motivated.  These are people who have given to your cause.  It's easy to appreciate them!
  5. Make a donation to your own cause.  That's right.  Write a check and give. 
If you wish, send me an email and I will find time to help you. 

Thanks for reading.
