One way is backwards

​

Set your costs, then your price.

Build a brand, then your customers.

Set the metric, then the result.

We have it backwards.

Pricing: find the value, then set a price, then figure out what makes sense for you to charge for that price.

Brand: design your customers, they’ll build your brand. And you’ll find the red thread on all of those brands, to make a cohesive one.

Metrics: figure out what you want as the outcome. Then think of the result, then the measurement. The metric is the measurement applied to a criteria (how far or close you get to your result in a set context).

Big picture first, then details.
