Today we’d like to introduce you to Sean Kosofsky
Hi Sean , it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I have worked in nonprofit organizations for over 30 years. I moved from NY to CA for love and that meant leaving a great job. While on the job hunt, I decided to start consulting, but I had no idea what that meant. I started reaching out to friends and colleagues in my sector to see if they needed any support and didn’t know how to explain my value. Within a year I was way better at focusing on helping people with fundraising, creating digital courses to sell and nailing a few small clients. Then COVID Hit. I went through a marketing accelerator and that dramatically sped up my learning and focus.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Not smooth at all. Every year my business has grown, but I have spent untold numbers of hours on things that didn’t pan out just because I was intrigued or interested or needed to make mistakes before I could learn. I have no regrets, but I do wish I had hired a business coach much earlier on.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about The Nonprofit Fixer?
I help nonprofit leaders make more money, raise more money and build rockstar boards. I help leaders confidently run any nonprofit organization. My focus is in the US and Canada but I have helped people all over the world.
We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
I am a massive extrovert. Riding out COVID in San Francisco, the most locked down city in the US, was exceptionally hard. I also realized that everyone had latent burnout or stress issues that were accelerated or multiplied by the pandemic. Poverty, pollution, polarization, front-line workers, pre-existing conditions…all of it came to the surface. I never thought it would last as long as it did but it was humbling.
