Price or Choice; Which should win...

 

That may seem a tad bit confusing, but I’ll explain the dilemma.

An older couple came in to visit with me about publishing his project. He had in mind a certain look and feel. He had envisioned his project as a finished, published book.

His wife had something else in mind; the cost. This generally isn’t a problem because no matter what we do, our goal is to stay in budget.

But at every turn she asked the same question, “Which is cheaper?”

To her, it didn’t seem to matter what was wanted, but which was cheaper.

To try to put price on the back burner, if only for a minute, I asked, “What if there was no price difference, which would you want?” Her reply was, “Surely there IS a price difference... so which is cheaper?” She was missing the boat.

To put it to a hypothetical question, I finally asked, “What if it were free, which would you want?”

 

My point is; after everything is said and done, and long after the price is forgotten, are you holding in your hand your favorite; your choice? When you die (or the day before), are you happy with your choice?

I’m not saying throw price out the window, but I promise, you will regret not getting it the way you really want it, no matter the price.
