In today’s world value means everything and will make or break your business. In spite of this known fact it still amazes me to see how easy it has become for many owners and operators to overlook the importance of offering any “real” value for their products and services.

In its simplest form value is what drives the market or in theory it should since value ultimately can’t be faked permanently.  Value is what keeps relationships together, what politicians know in order to get votes; it’s the DNA of most successful entrepreneur.

With all this being said, why is it that all to often what is perceived as being of value often in the end turns out to be smoking mirrors of what true value is?  Examples of this “value misalignment” are everywhere but as many of us experienced more recently during the Great Recession the housing market is a prime example of value misalignment.

 

Fundamentally, understanding value seems simple from the perception of most; offer value and people will want your products and services-but in truth it’s not. There most be a careful balance of what is perceived value and real value in order to offer any real value at all.

 

Understanding the importance of a aligning the value you offer is key towards having a successful business and life.
