Interesting perspective. Guilt marketing: How to fail at fundraising is another look at guilt marketing, but in the nonprofit world.

As my children were growing, at times, I used to remind them of the chemistry teacher who always started his class by saying if you are not breaking glass you are not doing experiments. I am opposed to focusing on mistakes but they are our learning moments and a powerful resource for creating a better life.

Glenn, this is why I like your stuff so much. You may overthink things like crazy, but you seem to turn that to your advantage.

Hi Glen,
The experience you describe is a moving one indeed, and yes if we’re honest we all have Bob experiences in our businesses. I can speak of this personally as a chartered accountant devoted to improving the lives of my small to medium sized business clients in New Zealand.

However, I have a question to ask of you: You say you don’t believe in a “higher being” who can forgive and yet you believe you can forgive yourself? Do you not also extend to others what you can extend to yourself? I’m sure you do! Why would a “higher being” be any different?

Cheers, mate … thanks for being so open … thousands would not!!

OMG, is he still going on about poor old Peter O’Toole?! Let’s set this straight once and for all. Sorry Peter. Glenn won my heart. And that’s it!

Considering how very attractive Sharon is, I find it hard to believe that you could hold a grudge against Peter O’Toole (or anyone else for that matter). She is just too attractive not to notice and appreciate … maybe he went overboard in showing his appreciation.

I love you comments about “going along with the crowd” and what a mistake it is to do things for expedience.

Good lesson. And if you happen to run across old Pete again, tell him to show his appreciation in some more acceptable manner.

Glenn,

I really liked your post and its lessons. I agree with you in being confident about knowing the value of the product or service and offering it at a price that instills confidence in the buyer, too.

Price too low – and get perception is that it is junk; price too high, unreasonably – and we get a bad reputation.

Keep up the great work,

– Dave
