The illusion of free

Nation building via learning and being the best in business

The illusion of the free.

What if you are renting hotel at $150.00  and the competitor drops to $120.00  and he plans to drop to $110.00  The consultant stops the hotel owner. and suggests:     $180 hotel room  with free meal.   worth $`100.00 (which cost only $25.00)

So you make:     $80.00  +   (100 - 25) 75  =   $155.00 much more than if you sell room at $150.00

So you keep your hotel full, and the restaurant full.  Additionally, the hotel occupants order desert or cocktail   and pay the $30.00 extra.  How many times you spend more on the free.    The free is a custom built ATM for you

See how they tempt you at casinos while riding buses with free $50.00 gambling credits and above the WD free dining and drinks 

Free meal with hotel

Selfdev: You could be an operator, a maker and multiplier

ProfJorgeEntrep has sent you a link to a blog:

You could be an operator, a maker and multiplier

Be better than before, than yesterday...

There are three things that you can progress through in your life:    as an operator, a maker, or a multiplier

    1.  An operator -  you follow the work rules, the job description and do what you are told;   you dare not

         venture beyond the four squares and you get your pay  8 - 5 and then you retire.  Nothing ever                     changes

    If you ever one wants to go beyond himself he must ask himself:

    1.   Does this thing challenge me?

    2.  Can this affect other mans life

    3.  Can this change the world

  2.  A maker -  an inventor, an innovator.  A participant in Genesis 1:28  Somebody who goes beyond the

       four lines.    He participates in the continuing creation.  He is out to create an impact to the world.

       He realizes the impact of his life in the community and for others

  3.  A multiplier  - Somebody who is a sower and multiplies his impact to the community and the world

       This applies to a teacher, a leader, a community worker, a company CEO, an author.  An influencer.

       His value goes beyond his own community  and locality

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Can you stand receiving $2K per day just standing within the 4 lines?

Prof Jorge Entrep: Oft repeated theme to sell and create value via scarcity

ProfJorgeEntrep has sent you a link to a blog:

Oft repeated theme to sell and create value - scarcity

Nation building via learning and being the best in business

Being scarce creates demand; discount tells you are commodity and that you are desperate.

We learn of the story of wealthy man who offered $50,000 to have handmade watch be made for him  But the waiting list extends beyond 2028 and the watchmaker did not even bother to look at the tycoon   

On the other hand he saw a jewelry store selling at 70% discount   He appeared desperate.   The tycoon advised the jewelry owner to close the shop and post a sign by appointment only 3 a day.  By doing so, by being scarce the former discount jewelry achieved prestige and exclusivity.    Bein availalbe and discounting make you cheap

The moment you discount, the more you appear desperate.  Walk away and be scarce and unavailable.

Create a waiting list.

Scarcity creates value.   Being desperate does not.  

So the jeweller instead of 70% discount was advised to close the store and allowed sales by invitation only  Thats scarcity.  

Being scarce makes you valuable
