Does your message sound and look like everyone else?

• How to layer on more than one differentiating factor
• How to turn your product into an experience

Excerpts from this conversation with Daniel Den:

If we are doing things exactly like our competition, then we end up becoming the average of our competition and the average competition goes out of business within about five years.

And what we discovered is that if we take one big difference, but then stack that with another big difference, and then stack that with two or three big differences, additional differences, then you can get to the point where you become such a unicorn in your market, where the barrier of copy ability is just too high.

And where it would be laughable if somebody decided to copy you, after you had implemented all of those differences. And so amongst the nine different pillars that we've come up with, we help people become drastically different to the point where they are a unicorn inside of their market, where they can quickly become a market leader, or a category king or category queen.

And that makes all the difference that makes all the difference.

We call it joining the age of experience. And the age of experience, what we've found, George, is that we all have enough stuff. We all are blessed.

Today, we all have lots of stuff. mass produced, we can pretty much get access to anything. And in today's world, stuff is not what people want anymore. What people want more, is a great experience, and they're willing to spend their disposable income on a great experience.
