Add value and the money will come!That is a version of a statement that we hear quite often. I just Googled "add value as an entrepreneur" Immediately I saw an article from 2009. It is incredible that something for 2009 would rank on the first page but that is a different conversation. The headline is " Adding Value: The Future of Marketing"That headline implies that adding value is a brand new concept just discovered in 2009. HA! Or perhaps you have heard "be of service and your business will grow"?These are obvious statements though right? We know that we should add value. Who would buy something or read something that didn't somehow add value. The value is arbitrary though. How do we define value?
