People only pay for these 3 things
1. Solutions
People will pay almost anything to make their problems disappear—problems like pain, stress, and loneliness. That's why people pay a doctor without blinking.
2. Convenience
The richest companies on Earth succeed by making life easier. They make things faster, simpler, and less of a headache. People pay a premium their whole lives just to avoid doing things the hard way.
3. Experience
People will pay an absurd amount of money for an experience they can't get anywhere else. Starbucks charges $5 for cheap coffee because you're not paying for the coffee—you're paying for the feeling.
