How To Make A Million Dollars
When people first join my mailing list, I ask them what success would look like for their business.
A high percentage of answers include some mention of making a specific amount of money.
For example:
“A home run for me would be a million dollars a year in revenue.”
To which I usually reply with something like:
“That’s great! I love the specificity. Question: How could you create TEN million dollars of value? If you can do that, you’d only need to capture ten percent to make a million.”
Here’s the thing...
Value pricing allows you to work backwards from your REVENUE GENERATION goals to set VALUE CREATION goals.
The benefit of having a value creation goal is that it’s a lot easier to answer the question:
“How could I create ten million dollars of value for clients?”
...than it is to answer the question:
“How do I make a million dollars?"
Yours,
