This is my annual report! 🙂 It’s made with love to catch you up on what I’ve been up to-and where I’m going.
I’ve started doing annual reports to reflect on the year-and to be transparent with you about where I am with this work of fundraising empowerment, and what I’m looking forward to doing.
Grab a mug of tea and reflect with me!
So, first things first!
I got to connect with so many of you in 2014, and I can’t wait to do more of that in 2015! Really, that is one of the most important things from 2015. So that is why it is at the top.
This last year I wrote a LOT. This year I’ve got a lot of writing I’m working on, can’t wait to share it with you!
Recognition this last year was so nice! Getting my woman owned business certification and my second government contract from the same agency made me feel like I was on cloud 9!
Traffic and income! Well, I didn’t make my income goals this last year. But I will do better in 2015.
I did make my traffic goals, and surpassed them. I didn’t make my listbuilding goal, but I will do better in 2015.
This last year I was hanging out with my friends more, and I’m very glad about that. We’ve made a lot of art and drunk a lot of tea together and that makes me so happy!
I have also been making poetry friends, and writing a lot of poetry, and that really paid off this year, when I got to be featured at the Switch poetry reading, and get featured in two different publications, a book and a little anthology! 🙂
So that’s my annual report for 2014! WHEW! Looking back at it all… I can’t believe I did so much in just one year!
What’s in store for 2015?
Before I tell you, if you see an area where you’d like to help me with my goals for 2015, please do! I want to help you with your goals too. Maybe we can help each other!
Here are my product goals. I want to revise my offerings to make them even better, whether they’re webinars, e-courses, or books. And I want to help 50 people take advantage of Fundraising Mastermind Elite.
Here are my partnership goals for 2015. I would dearly love to speak for more nonprofit associations, and nonprofit conferences. I would ALSO love to make more partnerships and do government contracting for agencies in Oregon and Washington.
Here are my personal goals for 2015. MORE VACATIONS! Little vacations are better than one long big vacation. So that’s what I’ll shoot for. More time with friends, and more time for spirituality too. And self care.
What are you proud of accomplishing in 2014, and what do you want to do in 2015?
Maybe we can help each other!
Shoot me an email at info with an at symbol then the web address of this website. 🙂
And in the spirit of never looking back and never giving up
HAIM!

Wonderful! Thanks for the alternative ways to looking at the annual report, and the HAIM video is a hoot!
Dear Carol,
Glad you like the HAIM video-I love how they’re serious, yet, they are also hilarious.

I love that you made your annual report and that you were bold enough to share it. I’m inspired! I hope that counts toward next year’s report.
Thank you so much Tammy! 🙂 If you’re not taking a risk, just a little one, every day, are you really living? 🙂 -Mazarine

Thank you Dan! 🙂 So happy you liked it! I did it last year too and it was a good motivator for me to keep my eye on my goals in the year.
How is your fundraising going for the Sunstone Montessori school?

Thank you so much for sharing this! You inspired me to create my own 2014 annual report and use it to set goals for 2015. I love it!
Thank you Sarah! 🙂 I’d love to see your annual report, feel free to email it to me! I used Canva to make mine.
