In The Personal MBA a service is defined to be one of the Twelve standard Forms of Value (Form of Value #2 of 12). Service can be specially valuable if the skills required to provide the service are hard to acquire.

Key Points:

  • A service is a form of value where you help and provide some type of benefit to someone, in exchange of a fee.
  • Service-oriented business need you to:
    • Provide a skill (either yourself or through employees) other people require but can’t or don’t want to do by themselves.
    • Make sure that you are providing the service with consistent high quality.
    • Attract and retain paying customers.
  • Services can be very lucrative but hard to duplicate, because your time and energy is finite.
  • It’s critical to charge enough to compensate the work put into it day after day.

Questions for Consideration:

  • Does delivering value as a service make sense for your business idea?
  • If so, what do you need to plan for to make it successful?
