I thought the video was great. After working all night at my full time job it was just what I needed.

The written post is quality information. Though your posts always are.

Keep having fun and working with the videos. I work as a tech at a TV station so I’m well aware of how difficult it is to get serious once the laughter starts.

Lol, your video made me laugh. But, the article hits the nail on its head. True value is hard to find these days. High priced products not..

Good point, Wade. I would like to say though, that I started my own business on free, cheap & easy. Again, the price (ie cheap) has no real bearing on the actual value. The value is determined by the person using it, and what they get out of it.

Just to note that I am not necessarily advocating that you should invest more money, but that you should consider your investments carefully – and realize that the true value is in the return on that investment.

What it lacked in information it made up for in entertainment value. Don’t stop doing video blogs, Lynn.

Whenever I think of price vs. value in business, I always analogize to the old adage about buying a tool. A cheap tool costs more than regular one because you usually end up having to buy a good tool to replace the cheap one.

I spent many years in a big corporate environment where your first thought was meeting your superior’s expectations and price came second. In self-employment I try to see my personal standards as at least as important theirs were.

Video says it better. You look great on it. The article you wrote really makes you think about how not just buying books, going to seminars,webinars, is not enough. You have to then spend many more hours, (self motivated by the way), implementing what you have learned and applying them to your business to find out which work for you.

Lynn, I don’t give this kind of praise very often – and I sure don’t blow smoke for pandering reasons – but I want you to know that this quote from you (below) is one of the most profoundly wise thoughts I’ve heard in the last 2 years in marketing… Thanks, you made my day. Rick

“There comes a point where you outgrow the majority of how-to information in your industry, and its at that point that you are either DOing, or teaching. In our market its generally both. When you cant find a product worth reading (or promoting)â€¦ its time to create one.

Thank you Paul!

Jeff – I agree with your point. Of course, it depends on who that friend is There are a lot of factors involved in determining value. The one factor that shouldnt be considered is whether that product jumps up, takes a life of its own, and begins performing hands-off. But you’re right – there *are* a lot of factors.

Thereâ€™s a lot of price out there – and precious little value. Does that make me disillusioned or informed?

Perhaps both, Rick
