33. Costs: What is the “rate of exchange” to reach your goal - PDF ONLY
The Three Paradigms of Costs - Time, Talent, Treasure
Costs in business is traditionally viewed as “how much money” will it take… or will it cost me to develop this product… or hire these professionals… or deliver this service.
"He helped eliminate the confusion, apprehension and lack of confidence that plagued my transition. The financial ROI for coaching with Shawn was good. But more than that, I gained the confidence, knowledge and strategies that will remain permanently mine." Dele
Remember that it is never about the “money” or the “costs” when you are thinking like a business entrepreneur… it is not about the money… it is about what money will get you… the business wants the perceived “benefit” when it “trades the money” for the product, human resources or services… “costs” are viewed in terms of “benefits”.
"Mr. Jackson is a highly accomplished and results oriented Attorney & Instructor with over thirty years of broad-based sales/business development and marketing experience. He consistently receives excellent responses and results." Marsha
So, when you are thinking about “business costs”, if you want to be successful, rather than simply thinking about “costs” or “money”, think about the intended “quid pro quo” of trading your money for the sought-after perceived benefits. As we all know, great ideas without the money are often a source for frustration. In order to have any successful strategies and tactics, we must be able to afford [i.e. pay for] the program.
