Can you imagine, as a business owner or simply someone who understands the value of customers through the door, turning down 100 customers a month?! Believe it or not, there is a tailor who does exactly this, and I’m telling his story on today’s episode.
While people like this, who are deeply, passionately and artistically specialized in the work, are very expensive to work with, it can be worth it if the product is something you are deeply passionate about and have the money to invest in the experience of working with someone like this.
In general, though, his approach to his work teaches us a lot about what will cause you to stand out from the crowd in any industry: Passion, extreme craftsmanship, and a dedication to creating the best product possible.
