but is actually the holy grail of every business, attracting raving fans. This is what I call the emotion capital, which is the most valuable your corporation can raise.

It's not just a transaction, but it's a transformation. And this is the promise that you give them. And the beauty is also when you make that choice, if you're really honest, you don't have a competition anymore.

Wow. Your one. Being able to see then the entrepreneurs lighting up, say, what? I can do less and receive more? How cool is that? That sounds like magic. That sounds like magic.
