The Jig is Up!

[AroundTheWorld]

I can only imagine how it would feel to be verbally attacked the way RK has. I can also imagine that it would be difficult and tiring to face nay-sayers and you-can't-do-that-ers day after day and still mantain a positive attitude. Some people would certainly harden over the years - or stop communicating tactfully....

Actually, I guess I have done that occasionally - with regards to strangers feeling the need to make comments to me about my decision to homeschool. I get tired of hearing, "what about socialization" over and over again and I am occasionally tempted to reply with a not-so-tactful remark.

Having said that, business is business and a business that wants to thrive needs to take care of and nurture the community that develops around their product/service. The Art of the Start has a great section about this under branding. Review Here. RK failed to do that - and his business will suffer because of it.
