It is very clear to the knowledgeable that people get what
they are worth. Oh yeah! You get exactly what you deserve irrespective of what
you think you are worth or what you think you deserve, the unbiased universe
would always give to you what you are really worth and what you actually
deserve. The tautology is so that this sinks into your subconscious and
conscious mind. Simply put, if you want
more, worth more.
Narrowing this down to your finances, it is simply greed for
an employee to want his/her employer to pay them more for doing the same job.
If you want to be paid more, become something more. Be more than the employee
who comes to the office at the expected time, does exactly what he is routinely
required to do and leaves at the time he is told to leave. If you recall
vividly, that routine was attached to an amount when you got hired and you
agreed to it so you’ll be paid exactly that amount as long as you do exactly
that routine so it is very wrong to continue to do exactly the same activities
or even less and want more pay. Acquire the skill and knowledge of something
extra you can do (it doesn’t even have to be something extraordinary, it could
be something ordinary probably from your daily routine that you begin to do in
an extraordinary manner) and apply what you have learnt. Only you will be able
to tell of the differences you will begin to experience.
Mind you, you must stick to your new skill; persevere
because smart people want to know how genuine you are so they want to watch you
for some time and even test you as the case may be just to know if you are
putting up an act that will not last. And believe it or not, your employer which
may be a person, a system or the universe is smart because if not for anything,
they are able to provide a means of exchange for your time and effort with
money, without which you’ll probably be sitting at home feeling useless with
yourself so you want to play your cards to get their favour on your side and
the best way like I have just told you is to worth more. No one can ignore a relevant person. So, acquire skill and
knowledge about what you want to do or are already doing, apply the things you
have learnt and very importantly, stick to it. Be very mindful that change,
even when it’s within yourself erupts some opposition/questioning at the
beginning but these eventually give way to perseverance. Again, stick to it.
In the same way, this principle goes for every sphere of
life including business, any form of business. You want to make more sales, you
want to attract more, quality investors and business partners, and you want
more people to buy your ideas? Just
worth more. Worthing more gives you a different edge over your competitors
and difference is variety and variety is the spice of life. Let’s face it,
routine is boring so why not run routine with an edge of excitement (difference)
to it. When you do this, you will amazingly realize the large number of people
who are also looking to spice up their routine because your new skill will
attract them to you and they will be willing to give whatever it takes to
associate with relevance and this is the same in every sphere of life.
A very practical example with lessons that can be applied to
every other thing you do. Let’s say ‘I sell cupcakes at a primary school in my
area and sales were just as normal as the two other kiosks in the school but I
wanted something different, I wanted more. So, I began to make butter icing of
a variety of colors which I use to write my customers’ name on their cupcake
before handing it over to them. The results were amazing for though I was
selling at the same price, I was selling more and more as the days rolled by. I
was excited by this and I acquired more knowledge and skill of some more different
things I can do and was wowed when parents of these kids started ordering in
mass for parties and even for their work place and as surprise delivery to
loved ones because my cupcakes started to pass special messages to people.
Thinking of how to acquire skill and knowledge? Ask
questions either by reading books, searching online or inquiring from those who
know. I know you will not pass up the opportunity to make a difference in your
life, job or business today. WORTH MORE.
