Value is difficult to gauge.
It’s unique to everyone.
You might join one of my programs and pay the enrollment price.
Price = easy to see.
Everyone who joins my programs pays the same price.
Cost is equal.
Return is NOT.
Someone might get a nice $5,000 pay increase thanks to the application of my lessons.
Someone else might get a $300,000 pay increase.
No matter which end of the spectrum you fall on, you’ll never know how valuable something is—in tangible or intangible terms—until you look back.
How much effort, diligence, and consistency you put into your investments, also has a way of yielding higher value.
I’ve discovered these correlations don’t register easily for many people I’ve encountered.
Another concept that’s truly elusive is trying not to equate effort with results.
As much as I’d love to hire the person who works really hard, I’d love even more to hire the person who works half the time and yields twice the output.
The trick, for you, is to convince the employer in advance, you’re a twice-the-output kinda person.
Before you can do this, there are a few things you need to understand about value.If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:
