“Scott, you are worth far more than that. Let me pay you 20% more”

How about you?

Ever had that happen?

How about the other way around? Ever had someone try and knock down your price.

This of course… happens all the time… and is just a part of business.

I can’t say I have ever suggested to someone I paid that they should raise their rates either.

So while there are commercial realities to business.

And while nobody is ever going to pay you $500 an hour to do a $20 an hour job…

The key to getting what you are worth is working like crazy to get really, really good at what you do…

Or create the best products possible…

to truly know the value you provide…

After all, nobody is going to ever give you permission.

I felt like a fraud.

I felt like I was going to be found out.

But I wasn’t.

I had just been devaluing my services and skills up to that point.

Of course, you cannot do this without substance.

But if you can deliver something unique… if  you can deliver something which truly holds value… if you can deliver something very few people can deliver…

Of course, the main reason people do this is because they don’t know how to get enough customers…

So they accept the crumbs others are willing to throw them…

Rather than demanding the gold.

How about you? Do you feel you are getting what you are worth for your products and services?

If not, it’s time to master another craft.

The craft of getting more customers which you can find out all about at:

Remember, supply and demand determines the value  of everything.

So make sure you develop skills which have little  supply and lots of demand.

And then lift your self-esteem up a notch and charge what you are worth.

Because nobody else is going to give you permission other than yourself.
