Here are some ways to share what you are doing.
Personal Invitation
Frankly, this is the best way to gain support. People want to help the people around them succeed in their goals. A lot of times all they need is just someone to ask them! A personal invitation gets the people around you excited for what you doing and helps them engage them in the cause you are supporting by supporting you. Engage with them, share your why with them and involve them in your journey.
Social Media
Social media is a great way to share your story to a lot of people at once. The downside is that you are constantly competing for others attention so you need to post often. Sharing your story is a great first step to helping others understand what you are doing. Let them know what you are doing and why. Ongoing, you will want to post frequently to get different people involved in what you are doing. Share moments from your training and invite others to get after it with you!
Let’s face it, there are some people who just don’t do social media. (Can you blame them, really?) Email is a great way to get your story in front of someone. Make sure to include your personal connection to the cause you are raising support for. Share your experience(s) and help others understand how you’ve been impacted by what they do or why you feel as strongly as you do about raising support.
