No salesman can ever guarantee you a grant from any government or non-profit organization.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The amount of work that a for-profit has to do to get real money is minimal compared to the amount of work it takes a non-profit to get even a very small grant.
I've been a grant seeker all my life, but when I apply for one and get it, that means someone else doesn't. I didn't want to be a part of that anymore. I wanted to contribute to that pool and make it bigger.
I want to do exactly what I want to do. I'd rather gamble on the box office than beg for a grant.
I cannot belong to a nonprofit organization because when you receive grants, you have to make such great compromises with your artistic plans.
I'm my own salesman. I can't let anybody do anything for me.
No one tells salesmen what they can and can't do.
No one has ever become poor by giving.
Not offering this kind of guarantee means that they do not believe in their product enough, and they do not care about if a salesman is over promising or over selling their product.
There's nothing that can replace quality programs in a non-profit.
I believe in singing for my supper. I'll never accept a grant because what I do should be able to be founded purely on free enterprise.
