Friends,

This week is short and sweet and….late. It’s my birthday week, and somehow the world decided to NOT stop for this momentous occasion! I’m a touch behind, so for my subscribers, you will find your coaching for Feb Week 3 below.

Inspiring words will come next week, but a hint is that in week three of February I hope you are thinking through your nurture and cultivation email series for new sign-ups, new donors, and lapsing donors. If you don’t have these set up, take the next few weeks to be working on this and then automating it.

Segmenting and sequencing these kinds of communications is not always easy or straightforward, so do it on a “bright” day where you feel clear and caffeinated. If you have four kids like me, you probably feel these days come along as often as a rainbow unicorn. But do it anyway.

I’ll be back next week to get all deep and inspiring about the glories of donor development. Happy Birthday to me!

With Joy!

P.S.» Are you enjoying these coaching letters? If so, please share with 3 to 4 of your nonprofit friends!
