“If you wanna know our strategy for the first year, it was make as many friends as possible, put out incredible content and don't ask anybody for anything other than your shares and your friendship. And that was literally our business model for the first year before we actually monetized really anything.” - Jon McCoy

“At the end of the day, if you don't see the value of what I'm offering or you aren't willing to find the money to make it happen, then you're probably not the person I wanna work with. The people I wanna work with are ready to say yes and ready to make a change. ” - Rhea Wong

Tune into this episode of Confessions Podcast with your hosts, Jess and Cindy, as we talk to Rhea Wong on how she created and scaled her $7500 signature program.

Rhea drops so many golden truth bombs about fundraising, building businesses and the power of consistency as she shares the knowledge she learned from her journey. She is the founder of Rhea Wong Consulting (obviously) and she works specifically with nonprofit organizations to raise major gifts.

We’re basically fangirling over Rhea in this episode and we’re sure you’d love her even more!

Highlights:

1. Rhea’s journey to building Rhea Wong Consulting that made her realize, “Why did it take me so long to do this?”
2. ‘It’s not you, it’s them’ - why people still won’t work with you even if you had tons of great feedback.
3. Starting your email list from the people you know because as Cindy said, “Who the hell else are you gonna know?”
4. Consistency is key! Rhea shares how she wears multiple hats by maintaining a schedule.

Tune into a behind the scenes conversation with Jess and Cindy as we share what you can expect from our new podcast for nonprofit-serving coaches and consultants.

In this podcast, we are giving you access to the business leaders who serve nonprofits as their clients - you know - the people who truly get it. No more gatekeeping, no more secrets - this podcast is going to give you an inside look at what running a successful nonprofit coaching and consulting business looks like. Basically, we’re asking people how much money they make, how they get paid and what has and hasn’t worked in their businesses.

We're kicking things off with our own confessions - and it's juicy!
