A lesson I learned in 2014.
I used to sell a product that was a me-too product.
When comparing it to the competition, there were a few (small) things different about it, but I wasn’t truly providing any value.
One question really got me. “Why do you exist in the marketplace? If you didn’t exist what would happen?” For me it was simple, customers would buy another similar product from someone just like me and be just as satisfied.
“Do you provide anything significant that other products in the niche don’t?”
In truth, for me, the answer was no.
I was chasing money, and in the end, it wasn’t worth it.
With that product, my best month was mid five figures and I averaged mid five figures a month over the year.
I started selling a new line of products 3 months ago and I have already eclipsed all of my previous best sales marks - best day, best week, best month, etc.
And that’s why I can confidently say my previous money chasing was not worth it.
In 3 months I got to a place my previous business never got.
Obviously, there was a ton of process in the months leading up to the last three, I traveled thousands of miles, met some awesome people who have helped me immensely and put in thousands of hours of work. It’s not easy and won't happen over night, but IT IS WORTH IT.
In 2015, the sky’s the limit. My resolution, provide more value.
So, why do you exist in the marketplace?
