Oddly enough, I still remember some of the articles you wrote back then. And Dweep, for that matter. It wasn't that long ago. 
We're offering you honest feedback about the price of a DVD set. If I believe that the price of a product is out of line with the value it offers me, then I'm not going to buy it. Many other people wouldn't buy it either. This isn't because we're suffering from some financial illness. It's because we're intelligent consumers. We won't buy something if we believe it's overpriced.
Certainly, you could just say "next", and sell the DVD set to the other 500 hundred customers who are waiting in line. Certainly there are many people who would buy the set for $300 dollars. Or you can decide, instead, to shoot for the masses. You can decide to raise the consciousness of the whole planet, instead of only a few hundred individuals.
Quite frankly, I feel you're thinking too small. Would you rather sell the DVD set to 500 people, or would you rather sell the set to 500,000 people? Not only are you pricing out the exact customers who need your product the most, but you're limiting your own financial abundance.
Just my opinion, of course. I wouldn't want to speak out too much against the all mighty Steve.  |
I shot for the masses with blogging and podcasting.
I shot for a different audience with my book. It was never intended for the masses... hence the title.
This workshop and these DVDs definitely aren't aimed at the masses. They're aimed at people who are in a good position to become conscious transformational leaders themselves.
I'd rather sell 500 copies of these DVDs to the right people than 500,000 to the wrong people. Hundreds of new leaders will have far more impact at this time than hundreds of thousands of "customers."
