My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

Price is determined by value equation optimization, not cost-plus margins

Evidence

Same outcome (weight loss) commands $5-$50,000 depending on value equation variables

Implication

Businesses should focus on value engineering rather than cost reduction for profit growth

Counter Belief

Market determines price, businesses must accept competitive pricing

Example Application

Instead of cutting costs to compete, invest in credibility, speed, and effort reduction to justify premium pricing
