Who is better off???
I asked him why he doesn't expand and get people to help, but he doesn't trust anyone else to do the same job he would do for people.
The good news for him is that because of his ethics and values he has all the business he can handle and more. The bad news is that he is a one guy shop and if he stops working his income stops.
The local Big Guy airconditioning company owner on the other hand has a fleet of vehicles and lots of employees. They don't do as good a job but they do an "ok" job. That owner can vacation in Fiji and still make money. His manager keeps the employees in line, the sales people keep the business coming in, and he drives to the bank in his Mercedes and deposits money.
I know who I would want to install my air conditioning, but I know who I would rather be if I were in that business.
The same goes for info products. The craftsman researcher and writer produces accurate and solid information but it takes him/her months. The big guy marketer hires teams of writers etc to produce a work that is usually ok, but has outstanding marketing, sales letters, graphics, etc. One outsells the other by a large number. One of them scapes by or hardly sells much, the other drives to the bank in his/her Mercedes and deposits money.
A big generalization to be sure. I'll bet there are some outstanding products produced by teams that just rock.
