Very Informative and practical

Love this book! Only complaint is that it didn’t include much for religious non-profits which is my world. Other than that, it was helpful and insightful!

Exactly what it says it is!

This book is exactly what it says it is in the title. I found myself taking so many actionable notes from this book to help improve my businesses. Definitely worth a read if you’re in the Non Profit realm. Some good ideas for small companies as well.

Love the book - can't get the downloads

What made the experience of listening to The Little Book of Gold the most enjoyable?

I really enjoyed the pace and the content. Thank you!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Little Book of Gold?

Overall I think the book has content I can implement. The AH-HA was early - spend time asking in person!

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Neutral on this subject

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No - too much to absorb for me in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

I purchased this from Audible, so when I went to the downloads page, I don't know what the password is because I don't have a hard copy of the book to see the glossary.

Just have the Little Book of Likes left in his series!!!

I have read all American hamburgers books, except for the little book of likes, which I am going to read when I’m done with this review all of the information that he is given has been super helpful as I start my nonprofit which helps foster children. I suggest any person starting out a nonprofit read his books. I was literally clueless about all of this and now my mentorship program starts next weekend. He also provides tons of very helpful templates and databases on his website. **And he is interesting and easy to listen to. Thank you very much Erik!

perfect for small nonprofits - quick and understandable

I work for a small nonprofit and also sit on the board of an even smaller nonprofit and I thought this book was an amazing resource to not only show you a roadmap to acquire and cultivate your donors, but it is also a handy reminder even for those who have been in this field for awhile... Quick and easy to understand... he also even provides you with example conversations to have with your board and donors as well as documents on his website

I wish I could get my money back. It is boring to listen. it does not offer enough practical steps.
