Twice around...

Last night, I wanted to do my training run outside, and I went for 3.2 miles in about 37 minutes. Twice around the loop to the local coffee house that I often do when I want a short walk with the dog. I had to stop briefly twice for traffic lights crossing the street, but other than that, I ran the whole way!
Now I just have to figure out how to reach my financial goal.
I'm almost there, but uncertain about what else to do to make it happen. I've never done any fundraising type stuff before.
Suggestions?

For your financial goals - start with LOTS of visioning of it already being there, and TONS of gratitude for it.
Then, don't be afraid to pick up the phone and ask people to donate. I've found that one-on-one contact is the best way to ask for what you want.
Thanks Nancy!
I believe that visualization is a really powerful tool to making things happen.
And yes, I can SEE the necessary funds are already out there. Abundance is there, and I can visualize them to flow to such a good cause, and I am amazed and grateful to see how much the contributions have added up so far for the race as a whole. WOW!
So that part is almost working for me.. but in my experience toward my own financial goal for the race, the funds still seem to act more like feral cats… kind of skittish, and diving into the shrubs.
I will keep trying to visualize them just peacefully going where they should go…. on soft kitty cat paws toward my pledge site.

I love it!
Here's another idea. When's the last time you dedicated a blog or a pod discussion to ask specifically for what you want? I'm seeing a very clear, direct and loving blog/pod discussion asking for what you want - and providing the links so people can gracefully and easily support you. I'd be as direct as possible, and make it the focus of what you write. In my experience with myself and my clients, asking for what you really want can be one of the most expansive experiences around!
Remember that not everyone reads blogs every day. So, tweaking the blog with your success so far and re-posting each week could be a great way to keep people involved, as well as hitting people who may have missed you the week before.
BTW, I betcha there are some great pods related to fitness, projects, etc., where you could not only make a request to receive financial support, but you could also get oodles of emotional, spiritual and energetic support. Cool stuff.
Excellent Catherine… look how far you've come and what you've done. Your still inspiring me. Great ideas from Nancy too… Zaadz is so big and getting bigger - I get lost here all the time. Getting better at consolidating the info - linking it and getting to the point. Let us all know where your posting if you decide too.
