Trade value for money
Today's topic is one that I am an amateur in. However, I have gone through my fair share of resources and I have tried my hand at business and freelancing. These are my thoughts on value and money. There is more to life than money. But it is an important tool that can have a great positive impact if utilised correctly.
Hard work does not necessarily mean success. If you want to receive a high-value paycheck you need high-value products or services which require high-value skills which require diligence and intentional effort. A labourer may put in more time and effort than a CEO in a day but that doesn't mean they deserve more.
Your work may require a lot of effort, but its value is limited. How easy is it to find someone who can do what you are currently offering? If the answer is very easy you will need to do some value addition to your products and services. This is because the more people who can do what you do, the more competition. It becomes less about quality and more about price.
What can you add that will increase the value? Is it professionalism in communication, presentation and delivery? Maybe you can learn a skill that you can add to your offer. Or you can create an additional product on the idea that will make the client's time easier. Then learn how to package your value to the right audience.
