Customer Value and Asset Value

When I thought about creating value in my life, I wondered what this “value” was.

After some thought, the phrase “customer value and property (asset) value need to be distinguished” came to mind.

Customer value is easy to understand and can be found in “how much customers are willing to pay”

• There is an atmosphere in which the pursuit of customer value is a good thing, but it is not good to be all about it.
• As an extreme example, if we optimize the provision of customer value by denying customers any studies or other activities that do not directly lead to customer payment, we will be working a day job to the limit of our strength every day.
• You’ll be creating value with someone else’s value system, the customer. - intrinsic motivation Activity is inhibited in

property (asset) value

• not proportional to time
  • I hear it grows on its own.
    • Super Modular Production
  • Unearned income is another example, but narrower in scope.
    • Unworking emphasizes that there’s zero labor involved.
    • In a market world that pays 1 for 1 labor, a type of trade where you get 0.1 every month for 1 labor is a loss in the short term and a gain in the long term.
      • After 10 months, the initial investment has paid off, and the unearned income will be in the form of 0.1 per month, but it is a short-term vision to think that it can be obtained “without labor”.
      • That’s 0.1 of every month earned by labor that was invested 10 months ago, willing to take a temporary loss.
  • Create an engine for exponential growth
  • Basically, investing before others notice is a winning pattern.
  • Here we have a fundamental conflict with “making value out of other people’s values”.
  • Venture capitalists want their investment targets to do this.
    • However, I want to be able to cash in at an appropriate time in the future.
      • Because that’s customer value to me.
    • You have to be careful about being a customer with rather tricky values.
