Gratitude in Startups + Black Friday Offer!
A reminder about what you have...and an awesome deal for subscribers!

A Black Friday Offer (and a note on gratitude)
I didn’t plan on sending this out until 45 minutes ago…but read through this short (and important) message on gratitude to get an awesome deal to join Adamant Fundraising.
My thoughts on Gratitude…
We all have a lot of opportunities to complain. There are struggles that in the moment feel difficult. They feel painful.
Spending an hour cold calling customers for your startup. Pushing through to finish that 5k race on a cold Thanksgiving morning. Doing another hour of outreach to get intros for your upcoming fundraise. All of that doesn’t feel good in the moment.
But remind yourself of all the people who would kill to be able to experience the discomfort you’re complaining about. You have a startup. Your body is able to run a race. You have family who wants to do silly turkey trots with you (true story from yesterday). And your company is capable of even attempting to raise capital.
Wow.
When I force myself to remember all the people who would switch places with me in a heartbeat, I tackle hard things with a positive energy that can’t be ignored. Whether you’re working on a startup, prepping a fundraise, or just doing something in life you want to be a negative nancy about…. remember this message of gratitude.
I think it’ll help
p.s. here’s evidence of my niece and I finishing the 5k Turkey trot. Dang that last mile hurt …but i’m grateful ❤️


My Black Friday Deal and thank you!!!
I hadn’t planned on this…but a friend helped me think about Black Friday as a gift to all the people who had been waiting to buy.
So as a message of Gratitude to all of you for reading along and letting me make a living my supporting founders, i’m giving 40% Adamant Fundraising memberships for new standard members.
Just use the code GRATITUDE (good until midnight on Sunday) you can book on adamantfundraising.com
Happy Thanksgiving. .. and as always.
Be chased,
Jason
