141: The 100% YES Method: The Energy That Closes the Gift

This episode is one of those had-to-record-it-right-away moments. I’m sharing a mindset shift that will completely change how you approach donor outreach, fundraising campaigns, partnerships, and even your emails. It’s called the 100% YES Method—and once you understand it, you’ll never pitch or plan the same way again. Inspired by a little league coaching moment with my son (stay with me, sports fans and non-fans alike), I’m breaking down why assuming the answer is "YES" until it clearly isn’t creates unstoppable energy, faster results, and wildly magnetic campaigns. We’re talking less hesitation, more conviction—and yes, way more funding. If you've ever caught yourself holding back your ask, hedging on your goals, or burying your CTA at the bottom of your email, this episode is for you. It’s time to get out of the “no zone” and move into confident action that actually gets results.
Topics:

• What is the “100% YES Method”—and why it works in fundraising, partnerships, marketing, and beyond
• How a little league batting tip inspired a mindset shift that can transform your campaigns
• Why most fundraisers hesitate—and how to ditch doubt and show up with confidence
• The ripple effect of showing up like your audience already wants to say YES
• Real examples of how this method applies to donor meetings, social media outreach, email campaigns, sponsorships, and board engagement
• The signs you’re stuck in the “NO zone” (like burying your CTA or playing small with asks)
• How to build confidence, momentum, and scale your impact faster without burning out
