1. Visionary Fundraisers Take Some Hoped-For-Future and Vividly Bring It Into The Present


2. Visionary Fundraisers Describe a World Where Their Mission is No Longer Needed

 Fundraisers who see their missions fully funded work hard to open their eyes to that hoped-for-future and see this as their core task. Their job is to clearly articulate a preferred future. The better you become at articulating a hoped-for-future, the more money you will raise.

 If you believe that money is the answer, you will chase it. If you are a visionary, you will attract it. 

“Don’t exhaust yourself acquiring wealth; be smart enough to stop. When you fix your gaze on it, it’s gone, for it sprouts wings for itself and flies to the sky like an eagle.” - Proverbs of Solomon, 23:4-5
     Solomon compares chasing money to the futility of chasing birds. Like birds, money seems to have wings. The more you chase it, the more it flies away. Can I get a witness?
     You don’t chase birds; you attract them.
     You don’t chase money; you attract it.

What is the ONE superpower you must master as a world-changing fundraiser?

Great leaders..are able to inspire people to act. Those who are able to inspire give people a sense of purpose or belonging…Those who truly lead are able to create a following of people who act not because they were swayed, but because they were inspired. 
For those who are inspired, the motivation to act is deeply personal…Those who are inspired are willing to pay a premium or endure inconvenience, even personal suffering. Those who are able to inspire will create a following of people—supporters, voters, customers, workers—who act for the good of the whole not because they have to, but because they want to.
Sinek, Simon. Start With Why
