Providing value is the epitome of a productocracy and of the fastlane. We all strive to provide as much value as we can.
But sometimes people are left wondering why their business failed even though they provided value.
Unfortunately, it wont matter if you provide 10x value, if customers can find someone else is providing 20x value for the same price.
It also wont matter if your online course is 100x better then all others, if it's also 10000x more expensive.
Value is relative to the money exchanged, and to other options in the market.
This is just my take, correct me if I'm wrong.
