Business Building Insights
- Understanding your two “Whys” brings purpose to your efforts and clarity to your actions.
- Having an understanding of your personal underlying motivation will help you through the difficult times in your business.
- Starting a business solely to bring in money leads to disaster. There must be something more.
- One of your “Whys” is only for you. You can even keep it private if you do want. Once you have it identified, it will give you power.
- It’s up to us to tell and excite people about learning more and using our product or service.
- What makes your product most valuable is not the features that can already be seen. It’s the emotional connection created by knowing and talking about the “Why.”
- Your “Why” sets you apart from others and leads to the most loyal customers.

Speaker:This is gift to biz unwrapped,
Speaker:helping you turn your skill into a flourishing business.
Speaker:Join us for an episode packed full of invaluable guidance,
Speaker:resources, and the support you need to grow your gift biz.
Speaker:Here is your host gift biz gal,
Speaker:Sue moon Heights.
Speaker:Hi there.
Speaker:It's Sue And welcome to the gift biz unwrapped podcast.
Speaker:I'm solo behind the mic today to talk to you about
Speaker:these two very important why's for your business.
Speaker:I was recently at a convention and one of my favorite
Speaker:things that we do there is something called speed coaching.
Speaker:Six of us who are on faculty set appointments with people
Speaker:and for 15 minutes we did some mini coaching sessions and
Speaker:what I really love about these is we get straight to
Speaker:the point,
Speaker:the people who have signed up really think through what they
Speaker:want to talk about because they only get 15 minutes,
Speaker:right? We dive right in and it's so interesting how in
Speaker:such a concise amount of time we really get to some
Speaker:true breakthroughs and aha moments.
Speaker:This time around,
Speaker:I really identified something that's been bothering me for a while
Speaker:and I decided that it's a reason why I want to
Speaker:approach this here with you and talk about it.
Speaker:The event that I was at was the national gift basket
Speaker:convention and when I first sit down with my speed coaching
Speaker:clients, I want to know about their business.
Speaker:I want to see how they're presenting their business.
Speaker:To me,
Speaker:typical of most of us as we're starting out until we've
Speaker:discovered our wise,
Speaker:I was hearing the same thing from every single person and
Speaker:what they really thought was something special,
Speaker:unique to them were words that were being repeated by every
Speaker:single person who came in front of me.
Speaker:So it really unfortunately wasn't that special at all in terms
Speaker:of the way they were describing their business.
Speaker:But truth be told,
Speaker:each and every company and business owner had something that was
Speaker:really unique and special about their business.
Speaker:Stick with me here because even though we're talking about gift
Speaker:basket businesses,
Speaker:this can apply to any business out there within the gift
Speaker:basket in industry,
Speaker:especially the smaller single business owners who run smaller businesses,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:with employees,
Speaker:not just necessarily themselves.
Speaker:The big thing within the gift basket industry is customization because
Speaker:you can pick out specific products,
Speaker:you can design a basket with different containers.
Speaker:Boxes are really popular these days.
Speaker:You can put different ingredients in the baskets or boxes that
Speaker:can be customized to a recipient.
Speaker:Additionally, there can be custom messages,
Speaker:custom ribbon,
Speaker:all of that.
Speaker:So that's what people were telling me about their business and
Speaker:why they were unique because they were able to do that
Speaker:when in reality,
Speaker:the hundred and 60 so people who were at this conference
Speaker:could all do the same thing again,
Speaker:there really wasn't a unique different to the businesses as they
Speaker:were being presented.
Speaker:So I want you to think for yourself with your business,
Speaker:how are you presenting yourself to the world and are you
Speaker:really diving in and explaining what is so special about your
Speaker:business? This is the base behind the two whys and if
Speaker:you're not sure if you're saying,
Speaker:Sue still,
Speaker:I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker:We're going to dive into that right now.
Speaker:If you haven't identified your wise,
Speaker:most likely you're not communicating in a powerful or memorable way
Speaker:about your business.
Speaker:You see,
Speaker:it's up to us to excite people about learning more and
Speaker:wanting to work with us.
Speaker:There are two why's that we're going to analyze here.
Speaker:The first one is why you are in business from a
Speaker:personal perspective.
Speaker:And the second is what your business does.
Speaker:That's a value to your potential customer.
Speaker:In other words,
Speaker:why your product is useful,
Speaker:why people should buy from you.
Speaker:Just going to break these down individually and let's get started
Speaker:with the first one.
Speaker:Why are you in business to discover this?
Speaker:You have to be brutally honest with yourself.
Speaker:Think back to how you started.
Speaker:Did you have a vision?
Speaker:Did someone else suggest to you that you should start your
Speaker:own company?
Speaker:Did it come from a place deep within that was just
Speaker:a passion and you wanted to do more and more of
Speaker:it and you figure if I can monetize this,
Speaker:then this is what I can do all the hours of
Speaker:my working day.
Speaker:Or were you looking for freedom from your nine to five?
Speaker:You just weren't happy with the career or the job that
Speaker:you have.
Speaker:So you want to break free from that cubicle jail if
Speaker:you will.
Speaker:Or perhaps you want to work while you're at home with
Speaker:the children.
Speaker:You want to be bringing in and contributing money to the
Speaker:family income,
Speaker:but you also want to stay home with your children.
Speaker:Perhaps you're at a point where you are ready to retire
Speaker:from a career that you've had for years,
Speaker:if not decades,
Speaker:but you're not ready to stop working yet.
Speaker:So this in terms of your new business or the business
Speaker:that you're currently in is a second career.
Speaker:These are all things to really just make sure that you
Speaker:understand that this was the start of why you're in business
Speaker:today or why you're thinking of starting a business.
Speaker:The second thing I want you to think about with this
Speaker:personal, why is feelings,
Speaker:so you might have your logical reason about why you wanted
Speaker:to start your business,
Speaker:which is what we just covered,
Speaker:but what is the end result?
Speaker:What is the feeling and the value that having a business
Speaker:gives to you?
Speaker:It could be just flat out pride.
Speaker:Maybe you want to prove to somebody in your family that
Speaker:you could do it because you've always wanted their respect.
Speaker:Now that's kind of a harsh pill to swallow,
Speaker:but you should be honest with yourself.
Speaker:Maybe that's why you started your business.
Speaker:Maybe you love the idea of owning something for yourself and
Speaker:the idea of building something and making it out of nothing
Speaker:really, really excites you.
Speaker:Perhaps maybe the challenge of a business,
Speaker:the excitement of having to confront problems and challenges and overcoming
Speaker:obstacles is something that you really love.
Speaker:Now. Yes,
Speaker:I'm sure some of you are saying,
Speaker:well, you know,
Speaker:no, I'd rather have it all go smoothly all the time
Speaker:and we all know that that's not the case,
Speaker:but there are people who really,
Speaker:really do love the challenge,
Speaker:the hunt,
Speaker:the pursuit of a goal.
Speaker:So all of these are also things to consider when you're
Speaker:thinking about and being really honest with yourself,
Speaker:why you're in business.
Speaker:One thing I want to point out here,
Speaker:I mean obviously if you're turning or a hobby or a
Speaker:craft into a business,
Speaker:part of this is about bringing in income,
Speaker:making money,
Speaker:right? But if that's the sole purpose,
Speaker:if you've decided that you are going to turn your love
Speaker:for making chocolate into a business only because you want to
Speaker:make money,
Speaker:that thinking and that motivation won't pull you through.
Speaker:When things get tough,
Speaker:there has to be another underlying reason,
Speaker:a goal,
Speaker:something deep inside of you that helps drive you forward when
Speaker:things are challenging,
Speaker:not just that you're going to be making money.
Speaker:Now, this personal why is not something that you broadcast all
Speaker:over. It's something for you to really understand inside yourself so
Speaker:that it brings purpose to when you're getting up early and
Speaker:going into the office when you're struggling with trying to figure
Speaker:out something techie because your website is down.
Speaker:When you're faced with a difficult customer,
Speaker:when the inevitable challenges come up for business,
Speaker:you can go back to your why and say,
Speaker:this is exactly the reason why I'm going through these challenges
Speaker:and these struggles.
Speaker:By having that why you're clear on your vision,
Speaker:you're clear on your goal and you're clear on what it
Speaker:does and how it affects your life.
Speaker:That's the first why,
Speaker:from a personal perspective,
Speaker:why did you decide or why are you thinking about starting
Speaker:a business in the first place?
Speaker:Be clear.
Speaker:Be honest.
Speaker:You can keep your why close to your heart.
Speaker:You don't have to tell anybody,
Speaker:but it's going to help you and support you as you
Speaker:go forward in your business.
Speaker:There are days I've had them too,
Speaker:when you're just like,
Speaker:why did I even start this?
Speaker:Maybe I should just shut it down.
Speaker:Is this all even worth it?
Speaker:Those are the times when you pull up this Y that
Speaker:you've identified.
Speaker:And remember in the very beginning,
Speaker:before all these struggles came up,
Speaker:the purpose and the reason and what it does for you
Speaker:as a person in your heart.
Speaker:And that's why you want to know your why.
Speaker:It's there for you when things get tough.
Speaker:And now I need to interrupt our discussion for just a
Speaker:quick minute.
Speaker:Why? For a word from our sponsor.
Speaker:This podcast is made possible thanks to the support of the
Speaker:ribbon print company.
Speaker:Create custom ribbons right in your store.
Speaker:Craft studio in seconds.
Speaker:Visit the ribbon.
Speaker:Print company.com
Speaker:for more information.
Speaker:So back to my speed coaching clients.
Speaker:This isn't something that I would necessarily ask them potentially if
Speaker:I was working with someone longterm,
Speaker:I might just to find out the grounding of their purpose
Speaker:for the business,
Speaker:but now let's get into the outfacing.
Speaker:Why have a business?
Speaker:By that I mean,
Speaker:what is the why behind the results that you offer to
Speaker:your customers?
Speaker:With my gift basket people,
Speaker:again, remember I said that everyone was giving me the same
Speaker:explanation for their business,
Speaker:that they offered customization.
Speaker:They could create something that was unique to a recipient,
Speaker:et cetera,
Speaker:et cetera.
Speaker:That does sound a little bit different because it's different than
Speaker:the gift baskets you'd see in the big box stores or
Speaker:the gift baskets that you can buy online from.
Speaker:These big companies.
Speaker:They can offer very limited customization,
Speaker:but it's not enough.
Speaker:It's not enough for people to then be able know for
Speaker:sure that they should be working with you because it's a
Speaker:good fit.
Speaker:And interestingly,
Speaker:as I said,
Speaker:when we dove down and I made them think deeper,
Speaker:each and every one had something that was way more specific
Speaker:about their business and unique to them and really truly separated
Speaker:them from the pack.
Speaker:Do you remember about a decade ago,
Speaker:customer service was the big key word.
Speaker:I mean everyone was talking about how proud and how strong
Speaker:and how supportive their service was to their customers and they
Speaker:were just words.
Speaker:They didn't mean anything.
Speaker:Everyone touted the fact that they had customer service when really
Speaker:it was bland.
Speaker:It didn't mean anything.
Speaker:You can tell people anything that you want.
Speaker:It's whether you actually follow through with the actions that really
Speaker:makes the impact.
Speaker:I heard once about this whole customer service conversation is don't
Speaker:even bother telling people about superior customer service that you supposedly
Speaker:have because no one's going to believe it.
Speaker:It's just too bland and you can say anything.
Speaker:All you can do to prove customer service is just do
Speaker:it and let other customers speak to it from their experiences.
Speaker:I got off on an aside there,
Speaker:but I think that was important to talk about because a
Speaker:lot of people will still say,
Speaker:Oh, we have the best customer service in the world.
Speaker:And quite honestly with the ribbon print company we do,
Speaker:but I don't even say that anywhere because it's gotta be
Speaker:the customers who are saying that not us.
Speaker:Anyway, like I said,
Speaker:I spun down a little bit of a rabbit hole there,
Speaker:but I thought it was important to say,
Speaker:but when we generalize our businesses,
Speaker:just like that customer service example,
Speaker:people are like,
Speaker:okay, yeah,
Speaker:so she has a jewelry business or she makes scarves and
Speaker:she sells them and um,
Speaker:Oh she makes beautiful wedding cakes or delicious chocolate.
Speaker:But it's still just very general.
Speaker:I want to share with you,
Speaker:and I'm not giving names,
Speaker:but they are real examples.
Speaker:I want to share with you where we got to with
Speaker:a couple of clients through the speed coaching so that they
Speaker:really could identify the why behind their business and how they're
Speaker:different. And then I'm going to share with you how you
Speaker:can identify this for yourself as well.
Speaker:So let's take two of these people that I'm talking about
Speaker:who were custom gift basket designers certified in the industry.
Speaker:Mind you.
Speaker:So very well versed,
Speaker:very established,
Speaker:very grounded in their businesses.
Speaker:When we really started diving down and I started asking them,
Speaker:well, who are your customers?
Speaker:What are your products?
Speaker:Some interesting things revealed themselves.
Speaker:One woman creates special programs that are driven into industry specific
Speaker:needs. So for example,
Speaker:she focuses on industries such as Realty assisted living,
Speaker:facilities, fund raising events.
Speaker:Okay, so very specific.
Speaker:And she's created unique programs including timing,
Speaker:product, different types of needs that a gift basket could serve
Speaker:that are different than for each of these different industry types.
Speaker:So her point of differentiation,
Speaker:what makes her business unique is not that she just does
Speaker:custom gift baskets,
Speaker:but she's created industry specific programs that help a client walk
Speaker:through all the nuances of doing business gifting that are specific
Speaker:to their industry.
Speaker:She has made herself knowledgeable either through past experience or learning
Speaker:over time to be able to create unique programs that address
Speaker:the needs of individual industries.
Speaker:So that's what she can talk about when she is at
Speaker:a networking meeting and she gets up to do her introduction
Speaker:message. She can say that she is a gift basket designer
Speaker:who specializes in industry specific programs to address the unique needs,
Speaker:timeframes and results that specific industries are looking for.
Speaker:Some of the industries that she specializes in,
Speaker:our assisted living facilities,
Speaker:realtors and fundraising events.
Speaker:How much different is that than getting up and saying that
Speaker:you can customize baskets to meet the recipient's needs?
Speaker:Now, someone who has listened to what she said through that
Speaker:introduction message.
Speaker:By the way,
Speaker:those of you who have not been following me for a
Speaker:while, I totally renamed that elevator speech to an introduction message.
Speaker:So that's what I'm referencing when I'm talking here.
Speaker:Someone who's in the room who's listening to that may not
Speaker:be part of any of these three industries,
Speaker:but they might have friends who are realtors.
Speaker:They might have someone in the school system who's putting on
Speaker:a fundraising event and could really use the expertise of somebody
Speaker:who has a specialized program.
Speaker:Do you see the difference here?
Speaker:Let me share with you another woman.
Speaker:What she enjoys doing with her business is creating smaller,
Speaker:less expensive gifts that also include a very unique message,
Speaker:a very creative message that applies to certain events so her
Speaker:smaller gifts can be used for leave behinds.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:Use referral reminders,
Speaker:employee recognition,
Speaker:et cetera.
Speaker:The value of what she offers is that somebody who's using
Speaker:her services,
Speaker:again, that's still under the gift basket umbrella,
Speaker:but they might be wanting to out to hundreds of people.
Speaker:Maybe it's people who have purchased a house from them in
Speaker:the past.
Speaker:Maybe it's a company who wants to do employee appreciation for
Speaker:birthdays, recognizing specific departments with a job well done or recognizing
Speaker:time with a company one year,
Speaker:five year,
Speaker:10 year anniversaries.
Speaker:It's also a great option for people who want to stay
Speaker:top of mind so that they can get referrals in the
Speaker:future. Multiple gifts,
Speaker:lower cost.
Speaker:Are you seeing here within a similar business how each company
Speaker:can claim a personality of its own.
Speaker:This can be based on past experience that you've had.
Speaker:Maybe you're starting a business but you used to be in
Speaker:the medical field so you know a lot about how hospitals
Speaker:or doctor's offices work.
Speaker:Perhaps that could apply to something that you're doing in your
Speaker:business today and even if you still have a full time
Speaker:job and you're looking at starting a business on the side,
Speaker:what types of things are you learning?
Speaker:Are you exposed to right now in the job that you
Speaker:currently have that you can take and then apply to a
Speaker:business that makes you unique?
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:I get,
Speaker:and I'm definitely not an advocate,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:some people say,
Speaker:Oh, you're going to start a business.
Speaker:Just quit your full time job and just go all in.
Speaker:I'm not so sure that that's a wise approach and I
Speaker:really don't recommend that to anybody.
Speaker:I recommend starting slow testing your product,
Speaker:making sure that you can make money at it,
Speaker:and then if it makes sense for you to substitute your
Speaker:full time job with your new business,
Speaker:that's awesome.
Speaker:But meanwhile you should like what you're doing during the day
Speaker:if you can and if you're in a position that you
Speaker:really, really are trying to get away from but you need
Speaker:it for insurance,
Speaker:for income,
Speaker:et cetera,
Speaker:look to that position and that business and see what types
Speaker:of things while you're still contributing and doing everything you need
Speaker:to do for the money that you're being paid.
Speaker:But what types of things can you be learning there that
Speaker:you could then take to your own business?
Speaker:Perhaps there is an event that's coming up and you can
Speaker:volunteer for being on a committee because you know being on
Speaker:that committee is going to give you contacts or new skills
Speaker:or new experience that you'll be able to use later.
Speaker:Things like this,
Speaker:either that you can get into now or that you've already
Speaker:done. So kind of thing back in your history and your
Speaker:experience to date are clues of how you can enhance and
Speaker:separate what you do and what your industry is and how
Speaker:you can make yourself unique from anybody else.
Speaker:And as you're thinking about this,
Speaker:I want you to think about it over and above the
Speaker:features of your product.
Speaker:So you might make extra large cupcakes or you might make
Speaker:jewelry that contains handmade beads,
Speaker:for example.
Speaker:What is the benefit to the customer and the value of
Speaker:these things that are features of your product.
Speaker:So for an extra big cupcake,
Speaker:they're good enough to share with a friend,
Speaker:giving you an excuse to spend more time together and share
Speaker:and create memories with each other.
Speaker:So she's not just making extra large cupcakes,
Speaker:she's giving a reason and an opportunity to be with your
Speaker:friends and take your friendship to another level,
Speaker:or just provide another really valuable experience around friendship.
Speaker:So sharing these extra large cupcakes equals the importance and the
Speaker:value of a friendship product,
Speaker:emotional result.
Speaker:Get it other ways to create emotional results.
Speaker:If you have incorporated within your jewelry line materials for sensitive
Speaker:skin. Now people who have never been able to wear earrings
Speaker:or necklaces because they're irritating,
Speaker:can now glam themselves up and feel beautiful wearing jewelry once
Speaker:again, or perhaps if you're a Baker.
Speaker:So many people now have dietary issues,
Speaker:right? Whether it's gluten or nuts or all different types of
Speaker:things. If your cookies serve these dietary restraints,
Speaker:then once again,
Speaker:participants at a party don't feel like they can't participate in
Speaker:the full celebration of the event that includes the cake or
Speaker:the cookies or whatever desserts are offered as part of the
Speaker:celebration. Another way to add an emotional layer to your business
Speaker:is through causes,
Speaker:so it could be that because of your backstory,
Speaker:the reason why you've gotten into the business in the first
Speaker:place, maybe a portion of your profit goes to a certain
Speaker:cause or perhaps you've started a business because you had an
Speaker:experience that you want to move forward.
Speaker:As an illustration of that,
Speaker:I'd like to share with you my friend Stacy Horowitz,
Speaker:who has a business called shopping for a change.
Speaker:And her business formed out of going to Peru and seeing
Speaker:the beautiful products that the Peruvian women created,
Speaker:but at the same end scene,
Speaker:they're harsh living conditions and the poverty that that they're experiencing.
Speaker:And she came back and she felt that she wanted to
Speaker:empower women,
Speaker:not just in Peru,
Speaker:but all over the world.
Speaker:These artisans who have such a great craft,
Speaker:we can help empower them as women to be able to
Speaker:make their lives better.
Speaker:So this is a story behind her business that can add
Speaker:an emotional layer on the other thing that's about her business.
Speaker:I had to be totally promoting Stacy or anything,
Speaker:but a portion of the proceeds of her products then go
Speaker:to a project that she has identified every year to help
Speaker:a community in some third world country,
Speaker:but also a percentage goes to a charity or a nonprofit
Speaker:of your choice.
Speaker:So people can feel really good about buying products from her.
Speaker:And also it's a great story to move forward.
Speaker:Cupcakes, presenting the idea of spending time with friends,
Speaker:jewelry, allowing somebody who wasn't able to wear necklaces,
Speaker:earrings once again,
Speaker:accessorize themselves and feel beautiful or purchasing a product that allows
Speaker:you to pay it forward and contribute to an important cause.
Speaker:Like how I told the story to you here,
Speaker:when someone is referencing a business that has some type of
Speaker:a feeling behind it,
Speaker:right? Like all the feelings that I just described,
Speaker:these are all stories that are over and above the product
Speaker:you create,
Speaker:which allows people to talk more about you.
Speaker:It's not just that Stacey has jewelry and purses and scarves
Speaker:that are beautiful and for sale.
Speaker:It's the additional story of what it does,
Speaker:the higher level meaning behind the business.
Speaker:So I go back to you think about this.
Speaker:What is the other layer on top of the product that
Speaker:you have that you could be talking about?
Speaker:You probably have it,
Speaker:you're just not identifying it for the value and the importance
Speaker:that it has to your business.
Speaker:Once you know this why and are very clear on this
Speaker:why. Then you start speaking about it,
Speaker:telling people about it,
Speaker:incorporating it into your brand speak because remember you have to
Speaker:tell people they aren't naturally going to come to this by
Speaker:themselves. This is the second why behind your business.
Speaker:It's really hard,
Speaker:if not impossible for somebody who doesn't know you or your
Speaker:company to understand what it is that makes you different and
Speaker:why they should absolutely be coming to you versus anybody else.
Speaker:This is the value and the importance of the why behind
Speaker:your business.
Speaker:I bet you never thought about a three letter word being
Speaker:so important.
Speaker:This whole concept of why it was brought to light in
Speaker:a really significant way through Simon Sinek,
Speaker:someone who I admire tremendously and follow it started with a
Speaker:YouTube video he did called how great leaders inspire action and
Speaker:that led to a book called start with why.
Speaker:If you've never read that book,
Speaker:I highly suggest that you do.
Speaker:Simon works with leaders of big corporations to make sure that
Speaker:everyone's marching in the same direction,
Speaker:inspiring people for production and obviously results building teams and having
Speaker:a common message for a larger business.
Speaker:I've taken his training to heart and I now apply it
Speaker:to smaller businesses,
Speaker:businesses like ours and to our specific industries for gifters,
Speaker:bakers, crafters and makers.
Speaker:So there you have it.
Speaker:Discovering the two why's behind your business,
Speaker:the one why that's very personal,
Speaker:why you started the business,
Speaker:what will help you want to have identified it to motivate
Speaker:you and drive you forward when things get challenging.
Speaker:And the second why the outfacing,
Speaker:why, what is the reason why a customer would want to
Speaker:buy your product from you specifically?
Speaker:What is it that they receive in return both by way
Speaker:of the tangibleness of your product and the emotion and the
Speaker:feeling behind what your product delivers.
Speaker:Once you've defined these for yourself,
Speaker:you've added a level of strength to your business that quite
Speaker:honestly not many businesses get to.
Speaker:And then you relay it out to the world so other
Speaker:people understand and recognize your business for all its greatness.
Speaker:To dare I say you will be unstoppable.
Speaker:As I close out this episode,
Speaker:I am so excited.
Speaker:The timing was such that I have a special announcement for
Speaker:you. I have just finished updating and rebranding my membership program,
Speaker:which is called maker's MBA.
Speaker:This has been one of my passions.

Speaker:podcast, why I serve gifters,
Speaker:bakers, crafters and makers,
Speaker:so I'm thrilled to present it to you for the first
Speaker:time right here and I would be honored if you checked
