“Yeah, but I am not running for President,” you may reply but think about the principle. He is doing something for a cause and because of that people are getting behind him and supporting him.
Think about your business. Are you supporting a cause that would excite people to rally behind your business, and spend money there as opposed to your competition? The Cone Report, which documents business that are in connection with a cause, shows that organizations that are attached to a cause experience greater success. If a half a million new supporters, just helped one man raise $66 million dollars in one month, what could your business attached to one strong cause do for your company?
