"I Need to Hit a Home Run!

Raising money for the GCSG has always been a passion of mine. I enjoy the process of making contact, convincing them to allow me to make the presentation, becoming anxious as the time to meet approaches, nailing the presentation , and of course that rush that comes from closing the deal!
The present economic climate for such efforts has been challenging . Trust me when I say it's a test of ones fortitude. I'm reminded of an important concept:
Persevere
Nothing in the world will take the place of perseverance
Talent will not:
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not:
Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb
Education will not:
The world is full of educated derelicts.
PERSISTENCE AND DETERMINATION ALONE ARE OMNIPOTENT.

I'm in a little slump right now.
"I Need to Hit a Home Run."
