Are you waiting for motivation to strike before you write that email, make that donor call, or launch that campaign?
In this episode of the Purpose & Profit Club® Podcast, I break down the sneaky trap nonprofit leaders fall into when we rely too much on either motivation (which feels good but disappears fast) or commitment (which can quickly turn into burnout if we’re not careful). I share real-life examples—from my improv class to client wins—and show you how to build momentum even when you don’t feel ready. This one’s packed with mindset shifts, real talk about dread, and actionable ways to get unstuck, take brave action, and actually feel better doing it.
