John Cena

Last week I featured 20 influencers known for being kind and giving back. Each one is special. This week I was asked if I could pick just one to help drive FunDonor forward, who would it be? That’s a tough call, but I’d say John Cena. Why? Because his extraordinary dedication to granting over 650 wishes for children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation is nothing short of legendary. It speaks to a deep, consistent, and personal commitment to uplifting young lives—and that spirit aligns perfectly with what FunDonor is all about…

See What ChatGPT Said

Last week my mentor David Meltzer asked me to send him a wish list of influencers that I’d like to connect with to see if he could help so I posed a simple question to Chat GPT asking – “Who are the 20 influencers that are most known for acts of kindness and giving back?” I got back the following answer: 1 Oprah Winfrey, 2 Mr Beast, 3 Rihanna, 4 John Cena 5 Chance the Rapper 6 Taylor Swift 7 Angelina Jolie, 8 Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, 9 Emma Watson, 10 Jacksepticeye, 11 Lizzo, 12 David Meltzer, 13 Simon Sinek, 14 Jay Shetty, 15 Greta Thunberg, 16 Simon Squibb, 17 Zach King, 18 Nas Daily 19 Dr. Julie Smith, 20 Humphrey Yang.
Check out No 12 – awesome. I let David know and he sounded quite excited. He said it made his day and he even shared it with his team.
Now, it’s not easy to connect with influencers but David said he’ll see what he can do.

It’s a journey, not a sprint

Today, I reminded a friend that the process of increasing her YouTube followers is likely to take time. It’s more like a journey than a sprint. The same thing applies to the 50,000 Voices campaign.

The Campaign Has Started

The 50,000 Voices portal is now working and the crowdfund campaign has started. As with new things, there’s some tweaking taking place…

DIN DIN & GSD

Today’s title may look strange but its not. Let me explain. Last week I appeared on David Meltzers Office Hours TV show where I was offered a review of our collaboration proposal. Review is a big step forward and in todays ‘Ask Me Anything’ CH room with David Meltzer, I asked if they had reviewed the proposal but they hadn’t. So David said to Nic – DIN DIN (Do it Now, Do it Next) to which Nic replied. “I’ve put it on my GSD (Get Stuff Done) list. I could hug David right now.

My FunDonor Story

Things are beginning to heat up as we move closer to our crowdfund launch. I was on Office Hours, the TV show with David Meltzer last week and we had an awesome time. He jokingly referred to FunDonor as his ‘mascot’. I’ve included a small clip as todays Motivational Monday video. Remember the other week I shared about ASKING BOLDLY. This was the result. We are now talking about further support. I was also interviewed on Aurea McGarry’s TV show last week.

Ask Boldly!

The challenge to launch FunDonor’s crowdfund campaign this month is on. Let me share an update. David Meltzer is helping FunDonor….

The Time Is Now!

A few weeks ago, I accepted a challenge from Christina in the BWC Clubhouse space to get things started by September. No excuses…

Things are Taking Shape

Things are taking shape as we get closer to launching our crowd fund campaign. I met up with David Meltzer a few weeks ago and his team asked me for a collaboration proposal. I sent in a detailed proposal and we will meet this week to discuss it in detail. I’m thrilled. I never dreamed I could team up with David Meltzer. I even spoke with him earlier today and he sounded as keen as me. I can’t wait. I’m finding that if you ask for help, you will get help. Be consistent, persevere, build trust and be bold. I will feedback next week on progress.

Procrastination

This weeks Motivational Monday video made me think. It challenges the notion of procrastination. If something is important to you, if its meaningful, you will do whatever it takes to make it happen…

Easy = Hard

If you do what is easy, your life will be hard but if you do what is hard, your life will be easy. Lets break this down. If you stay in bed, if you stay in your comfort zone, if you only do the bare minimum…

50,000 Voices

50,000 Voices is the theme for FunDonor’s crowdfund campaign. It is a unique concept, offering a permanent life-long stake in the FunDonor platform for as little as $1. Our goal is to engage 50,000 people to help create our FunDonor web banner. This banner will sit at the top of the FunDonor website, just below the menu bar. The banner will be made up of 50,000 images, images from anyone that donates $1 or more towards our crowdfund campaign. When someone donates, they must submit a passport-like image of themselves. This image will be used to create a digital mosaic that will make up the web banner. Each image will be assigned a personal hyperlink..

Uncomplicated Joy

I stumbled across a school in Lagos last week where the children were celebrating their culture day. I was greeted with uncomplicated joy (after seeking permission to take some pics)…

The Replay

Last Thursday, 14 March I gave a 30 min talk about my FunDonor journey in the Breakfast With Champions room on Clubhouse. I shared some things I had never shared before. ..

Lets Unpack FunDonor

This Thursday, 14 March at 10.30am UK time I will be unpacking FunDonor in the Breakfast With Champions room on Clubhouse. This will be a deep dive into the background, the inspiration behind, the development and the workings of FunDonor. Following this, we will develop a clear timeline to launch our crowdfund campaign and subsequent project implementation.
I’ve been talking for a while about getting this project started. It’s time to get the wheels in motion. Join us on the 14th and see how you can get involved.

Don’t Rest in the Middle

Last week I was on IG live with David Meltzer. This week I’ve been discussing with his team about collaborating. It’s all getting exciting. They even suggested being on his hit Apple TV show. I’ll be exploring this further and providing updates here. All this encourages me to follow Kobe Bryant’s high school teachers advice. “Rest at the end, not in the middle”. Listen to Kobe (RIP) in our Motivational Monday video.

Reminder: Our FunDonor feature on Breakfast With Champions has been rescheduled to Thurs 14th March at 10.30am UK time. 

Chat With David Meltzer

Earlier today I had an exhilarating Instagram Live chat with David Meltzer. He is on a mission to empower 1 Billion people. The embodiment of resilience, he bounced back from losing over $100 million and built a motivational empowerment outfit that is inspiring generations. The greatest takeaway for me is his humility and willingness to help. We’ve booked a follow up call this week to explore next steps.
Reminder: 8 March at 10.30am UK time we present a FunDonor feature on Clubhouse. Link here to join. Email below for more detail or to book a call.

Learn to Ask

We learn every day. I’m just learning how to ask. As I connect with more influencers, I’m realising that you simply need to ask for what you want and you’ll find people willing to give. I just asked David Meltzer for help and he offered to use his networks to assist. We’ll connect next week to work out the details.

Remember, on 8 March at 11.30am UK time we deliver a detailed feature about FunDonor on Clubhouse. Save the date and the link below to join. Want to find out more? Use the email link below to book a call with one of our team.

A Cup of Coffee

For less than a cup of coffee, you can have a life-long stake in FunDonor. On 8 March at 11.30am UK time we’ll unpack this unique opportunity live on Breakfast With Champions on Clubhouse to an audience of global entrepreneurs. The link to the room is below. Why not mark the date and tune in. The opportunity will ONLY be available for a LIMITED period of time and for a SPECIFIC number of people. Curious? Send an email using the button below. Book an exploratory call with one of our team. Remember this – A life changing opportunity for less than a Cup of Coffee.

For as Little as $1

I looked on Amazon to see what $1 can get you. Here are a few items – A stress squeezy ball; A pencil sharpener; A small ruler. I also checked on the high street – A slice of pizza; A McDonalds cheeseburger; A can of Pepsi.

What does your $1 get you with FunDonor? A life-long stake in the project; A window to share your world; A space to mingle with celebs.

$1 is affordable to most. Be sure to claim your life-log stake when we launch our Crowdfund campaign. It will only happen once. Watch this space.

2024                      Our Year

Happy New Year! It’s 2024 and I’m excited and anxious. I’m excited because we’re committed to launching our crowdfund campaign in March. I’m anxious because it’s a bold yet uncertain step forward. But I’m reminded by my sisters voice in my ear reminding me to just get started. It often only takes a single step forward with a strong commitment to achieve transformation. That’s something thats reflected in this weeks Motivational Monday video. We’ve come this far and stopping is not an option. Join us in our bold quest…

Christmas Time

Greetings to all our subscribers. It’s that time of year when many of us share joy, good tidings and gifts. We invest in family time. We remember family that have left us. I spent some time on Christmas Day with family at my mother-in-laws graveside, sharing prayers and celebrating her life. She had a resounding impact on so many by her pure kindness and my wish is that I leave with the same legacy.  That would be my advice and wish for everyone today. Focus on what legacy you want to leave behind when you’re gone. I pray it’s filled with kindness. Merry Christmas!

What You Ask…

What you ask for is not always what you get. Have you ever asked God for something and get the opposite? For instance, you may ask for strength and you get…

Outside the Box

Listening to this weeks Motivational Monday message reminds me of the fundamentals that began my FunDonor journey. What we are doing is not new…

Regret

Be Helpful

The lesson from this weeks Motivational Monday video is intense. People frantically search for happiness in life. In the process, they often push others aside…

Turnback Moment

Steve Harvey made a very powerful point in this weeks Motivational Monday video. He said that we all have a ‘turnback moment’ where we decide to either go forward or give up. In the video he made something clear. If you give up, you are guaranteed to fail – there is zero chance it will happen. The only way it can happen is if you never give up. I’ve had turnback moments. I’m thankful for them. They have given me huge resolve, the resolve to commit to FunDonor’s launch in early 2024, come what may.

It’s Easy

It’s easy to give up. It’s easy to say “I’m done. I don’t feel like trying”. Watch this weeks Motivational Monday video. Kevin Hart says it well…

Life is Simple

Simple ideas offer the best solutions. Think of ideas that changed the world – the light bulb, the wheel, the zipper…

Never Stop Dreaming

If you have a dream, chase it. The worst thing you can have is regret. When you chase your dream, you learn. You learn the pitfalls, you make wrong choices, but you learn. With learning comes correction. You listen better, you observe others that have done things right and you pick up tips. This process helps you focus, change and correct mistakes. Its that simple. I am applying all this to FunDonor. I’m listening, I’m learning and in due course, the dream will be real.

Positive Reflections

Last week I took a much needed break. It gave me time to reflect. I looked back on all the things that have distracted me. I reflected on the people that have drawn me back, I pondered over things that haven’t added value to my life. I then made a positive decision to be more brutal. I will remove obvious distractions. I will avoid anyone that draws me back. I will aim to do things to add value to my life and my FunDonor journey. I urge you to do the same in your life.

Take A Break

Always make time to take a break. Take a break from distractions, take a break from people…

Keeping it Simple  

The key attraction for FunDonor will be its simplicity. As the development roadmap unfolds, I’m getting excited at how the platform will work. Donating $1 will be as simple as sending a text. Ambassadors will share rewards amongst each other simply. Influencers will have fun interacting with fans in simple ways. Transactions will be visible, transparent and simple. Charities will be accountable to donors through a simple process. I cant wait!
