Everything he writes is borne of experience, mistakes, and listening, and it builds on mission at the heart. I highly commend this book to you!"

"Overcoming the invisible barriers and perceptions of fundraising is so necessary in the nonprofit world. Brad's book does just this!

"I have had the great pleasure of learning from Brad Layland and the FOCUS Group as I stepped into development with no experience. Layland's caring heart for those who give resonated with me and allowed me freedom to be authentic with partners, putting their needs above the money while still fully funding the work. Read this book and learn from one of the best, who has lived these experiences and teaches others from proven success."
