I love Dale Carnegie’s quote: “You’ll have more fun and success when you stop trying to get what you want and start helping other people get what they want.” Do that for your customers, your donors, your volunteers, your friends and family.
And here’s another Carnegie quote: “Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.” Hey fundraisers, how well do we do that? And how about our marketing/communications/pr department?
