Larry C Johnson Making Fundraising Events Pay and Pay and Pay …

By Larry C Johnson

The last time I gave this advice, the organization beat its 25-year top goal by more than sixfold, and it didn't have to sell a thing!

Liz is off and running to organize her first reverse auction, which happens at her signature event in a month or so.

She'll have some naysayers but will knock 'em dead if she follows through. I'm looking forward to hearing back.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to Liz for reaching out.

Let me hear from you. Please share your situation and the challenges you face in developing sustainable revenue streams. Email me (info@TheEightPrinciples.com), and I'll arrange a brief consult providing you with practical guidance. I'll choose some of these thorny obstacles to share, along with my insights, in upcoming columns.

Success is waiting. Go out and achieve it.
