Dang Andre. As always, simple and elegant advice that pulls no punches, but delivered so smoothly that your ego doesn't have time to reject it. I've seen this before, the 'Hollywood Movie" (protagonist just magically stumbles onto the 'one right' fairy Godmother character who makes their business profitable) approach to business strategy. I've definitely seen it in my own projects. Thanks as always.
Thank you my friend for your comments. Simple, elegant, and effective advice is what I strive for. Let's have fun in business, examine these ideas with maturity and insight, and prosper. That's the name of the game. Stay tuned. Much more to come.

I’ve been hooked on your videos since I found them a few days ago. This is powerful stuff you’re sharing. I just created a product that placed me in the luxury goods market and I’m trying to put my plan together.

This is wonderful information. It reminds me of how The Gap branched into lower end (Old Navy) and higher end (Banana Republic) after they had a nice base. If I am honest with myself, I may be better anchoring myself in middle end and branching out into higher end after I get some experience in selling my business/idea. Yankee Candle did that with their candles that eventually morphed into the Woodwick brand with fancy fire wicks that crackle. I want to sell motivational athletic wear to Ironman Triathletes, and I have a great product, but it doesn't move ppl. It really is a, "oh that's nice...love the slogan" response and I have been trying to build on what I am learning from the responses of the higher end (Bently-driving and Park Avenue living) ppl I know. They are on board, and clearly they have the money, but they are not buying. I seriously expected them to buy merely because they had the money (bahahahahaha!). These videos have really opened my eyes. Do I want to go high end? Yes. Can I rise to the challenge? Yes. Can I relate to this population? Not at all. I do have faith that if I can launch a brand I can work to make it great so I CAN eventually vibe with these clients. High end triathlete wear translates into my competition is Lulu Lemon...and....I am not Lulu Lemon...so that could be a problem for sure. Now I know that from this video. Admittedly, it is hard as a triathlete to dim my light and consider mid-end clients instead of going for the highest heights, but self-knowledge is power and if authenticity and connections sell a brand, there is no shame in giving ppl what they want through what I can offer. Maybe for the time being I can look at becoming the cool kids clothes instead of the rich kids brand...at least for now. I can sharpen the saw as I make my mistakes with a more forgiving crowd. Still going to learn and watch these videos, though. I will check in with how it resonates with me which way to go, but assuming someone will buy just because they have the money is...well...sophmore at best. Thanks again. Maybe not the usual comment here, but maybe I can make my mistakes early and move into a higher level as I see fit. Still going for quality and culture, though. This strategy doesn't vibe with my overachieving spirit, though. I will figure it all out. I am thinking out loud here.
I love your commentary and analysis and I agree wholeheartedly. Focus and growth is a tricky thing, and always grounded in the underlying understanding and alignment with an audience and how closely you map to their needs, are "one with them" and are not conflicted in your approach. Thank you for watching, and I hope you'll continue to do so. If I can be helpful, feel free to drop me a line: info@andretaylor.com
I love that your video has no music and you're speaking softly. So refreshing.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you watching!
@@theandretaylorIt's true, no distractions, just knowledge and wisdom..
