Episode Description from the Publisher

I’ve been in this sector for over 20 years, and I keep seeing the same thing:Great fundraisers don’t stay.And it’s not because they don’t care—it’s because we’re asking them to be the system.They’re holding donor relationships, strategy, and next steps all in their heads… and when they leave, everything leaves with them.That’s not a people problem. It’s a systems problem.In this episode, I talk about why burnout keeps happening, the real cost of turnover, and why hiring “better” fundraisers won’t fix it.Because the truth is:You don’t rise to the level of your goals—you fall to the level of your systems.If this sounds familiar, I’m hosting a free webinar:Stop Flying Blind: Fix Your Leaky Fundraising SystemI’ll walk you through a simple 6-part audit to help you find what’s broken and fix it.Important Links:Stop Flying Blind: Fix Your Leaky Fundraising System: https://go.rheawong.com/donorjourneyauditwebinar-2026 My Big Ask Gifts Program: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program⁠ My Book, Get That Money Honey: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey⁠ My Newsletter: ⁠https://www.rheawong.com/⁠
