Totally agree. It is about the packaging, the flash and the gimmick. The perceived value far out weighs any true actual value of a product or a person. We give credit to those who spend more time on their outward appearance even though they might be no smarter or able than the plain dresser.

But at the end of the day, the flash person will probably be able to get more done because of this misconception. So does it not become a truth?

Just food for discussion!

Cheers

Hi JJ,

indeed, also, just START. Start with something you are good at. And then tweak over time. Observe the market. Where are people spending money? Where is there a hungry crowd a few degrees away form what you are doing. Shift your business over to serve them.

Great business blog post as ever, JJ. spot on!

Best regards,

Happy Dating and Relationships,

JJ,

No need to get you coat.

You are sooo right. I know and have heard some of the worst Speakers on the planet, yet they rake in the ca$h hand over fist. The Reason? They have great marketing.

” Perceived Value ”

That’s it brother.

Awesome post! That was funny enough to be considered one of your classics.
As for business ideas, yeah, I’ve heard, and I believe, that marketing is King!

JJ,

“Your Business Idea Is Not Special.”

Yap, you’re spot on.

What make things work is NOT the idea, but its IMPLEMENTATION.

Ideas are relatively cheap, it is the process of gettting them translated into practical and commercial ways that is hard.

@Anthony – Getting things done is the key really, isn’t it? A concept for a book about wizards is worth nothing. The first Harry Potter book – in its completed form – was worth gazillions.

The question mark at the end of your compliment killed it somewhat!! I was quite proud of the poem actually!

@Steve – Damn straight. When you think about it, marketing is really the only thing that makes money… Love your use of the word flubbing, by the way. Much underused!
