Afraid of asking? This one simple daily practice will help.

Happy Friday, friends!

I’m back again this week with another video edition of hashtag#FundraisingFriday.

Here’s my question for you this week:

Does asking for money ever feel scary or hard?

I know a lot of amazing nonprofit leaders whose answer to that question is a loud “Yes!”

I get it. That difficulty and fear of asking can come from SO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES.

Sometimes though… our trouble with asking stems from a fear that we haven’t done the relational work necessary to earn the right to ask someone to give.

Can you relate?

If so, this 147-second video may help you overcome your fear with one simple daily practice.

Thanks for watching!
