Underpromise

In our last podcast Josh and I gave 6 ways that you can master the first 6 months in a new ministry. The real “gem” that Josh came out with was to “Master the Reverse”. Meaning, instead of dumping your general brainstorm of what could be to your new partners in ministry, you should hear their hearts and not over promise. Over promising is a bad, bad thing… (shutters at many past mistakes…)

Seth Godin has a new post on his blog commenting on very same thing, here is a short excerpt:

“one of the most beneficial things you can do is get people to give you the benefit of the doubt before you start delivering a service or a product.”

I would recommend reading the rest of the article as well as subscribing to his blog and reading some of his books (you can find links in our resources section).
