We know what a product is. It’s the physical good, output of what we create, maybe services and knowledge can be put under the general idea of a product, if we think of it as an output. The product should serve to help solve the problem of what stands in the way between people and the value and benefit they want and need in their lives. If we take on the responsibility and role of solving this problem we are the creator and provider of this product.
Product is simple enough. Whether you’re a bread maker, furniture builder, writer, musician, nurse, mail carrier, you’re providing a product or service. But I think what ultimately the most valuable part of providing this product is you, us, we. Going through the process of making the product, I become the producer. The producer is what is actually the most valuable thing that is getting produced in creating the product. That is, in creating the product, a producer is being created, developed and built. It’s the experience, insight in going through and building the process, when we bring ourselves to what we do. It’s the learning, personal care, growth mindset, challenges, perseverance, development, life and energy that is the intrinsic value, that is a real meaningful take away from why we do what we do. A producer is being created.
What came first the chicken or the egg? Making the egg, made the chicken. Knowledge, experience, insight, intellect, intelligence, intuition, instinct is what is gained.
