Kel Haney was doing a little bit of everything: directing theater, consulting non profits, coaching others, and it left her burned out and unsure of how to grow.

But everything changed when she made the decision to specialize in mid-level donor fundraising.

In this episode, Kel shares how focusing on the work she does best helped her build a thriving, fully booked fundraising business.

We talk about the clarity and momentum that came with refining her services, why mid-level donor strategies are often overlooked, and how this specialization allowed her to scale with more ease and impact.

If you’re feeling spread too thin or unsure how to grow, Kel’s story is a powerful example of what’s possible when you align your business with your zone of genius.

It's been a minute since I've featured a client success story, and today's interview with Christine Schweitzer of Holistic Grants was well worth the wait.

Christine has experienced incredible growth, moving from solo grant writer to owner of a thriving consulting firm. Today, she's sharing openly about the highs and lows of scaling, including hiring her first employee, transitioning client relationships from herself to her team, and swapping spreadsheets for a robust project management system in ClickUp.

We also chat about the power of coaching and how the Impact Collective Mastermind has accelerated Christine's growth (including a full-circle moment with fellow mastermind member and previous guest, Lakeesha Morris-Moreau).

If you're navigating the shift from solo consulting to a small firm or dreaming of getting there, you'll relate to Christine’s journey and the practical insights she shares.
