Yet, instead of searching for and presenting your unique heart song, many business owners try to duplicate someone else's. You've seen them; sales pages, brochures, email messages, all claiming to provide you with the 'magic pill' when in fact, they look and sound exactly like the previous empty promise made by another vendor.
