LEAD MAGAZINE | 2019 What happened here? The big secret lies in your essence, that one thing that makes people absolutely love who you are. Surely, we need to take business serious, but not so serious that you burn your entire fingerprint in the process. We have heard this many times before. People want to do business with people. It doesn’t matter whether you sell insurance or ice cream, the person who will ultimately buy from you are looking for something inspiring that will slam a little bit of spring into their routine lives. The photographer whose business partner is a bulldog called Sam. A top-notch business consultant who happens to climb to be an award-winning mountaineer. The wellness coach who was brought into his country with nothing but his mother’s faith and a rubber duck. Or the corporate expert who is also a cognac connoisseur. Our essence is an incredibly concentrated drop from our soul. It is the part of us that people remember when they have only met us once. An curiously, the very piece that we leave out when we share our business offers with the world. It blows us away to see how people’s faces change when you ask them to share something about themselves that not many of their ‘serious’ peers know about. It leaves us feeling awe-inspired each time, and it will have the same effect on your clients, especially the premium ones who wants quality combined with your incredible essence. If you have spiritual beliefs, weave that into your product. Perhaps you just cannot stop making pizzas, then create an experience for your crowd. Some of you have called the most incredible creatures into existence with your writing. Now please let us have the privilege to meet them too. Where to go from here? At first, use our High- End Product Design Process to get you going. Once you have reached step twelve, return to step four. Have a honest conversation with yourself about the things that you really love, including your obsessions and convictions. Notice what puts a smile on your face when you talk about it. Then think of some creative ways in which you can align this with your product or service. When you really understand the power of your essence, you are not only geared to create offers that no one can compete with. You are ready to put in place empires that operate by its own rules and help people to have fond memories of the unforgettable experiences that you have created for them. The journey within turns out to be much more profitable than you think! So say our clients from Bali.
