YOUR NETWORTH : THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE PAY CHECK

As an employee, the idea of a pay check at the end of the month puts you in a value box.  You may be lucky to be in the top value, or unfortunate to be amongst the bottom value based on ‘Subjective Negotiation’.

Your satisfaction in work and life largely depends on your perception of your pay check, and you start believing that is all you are WORTH.

George never took time to establish his ‘real’ NETWORTH, and found it difficult to earn more despite his many qualifications.

Whether you are negotiating a new wage, an increase,  or quoting for your services,  you gain satisfaction when you negotiate base on your ‘Networth’. Your  Networth helps to ensure that you do not under-price or over–price your self. It’s not about calling a figure or ‘psyching’ your self, it’s about understanding why you should be paid a certain amount.

Your NETWORTH can be computed using a  number of criteria such as – your educational background, personality, soft skills, etc. These are criteria employers use to minimise the amounts paid as salaries.

Money doesn’t grow on trees neither does it fall from the sky. 

Your business can only reap from your network – people you are connected to. That's why the popular term – ‘your network = your ‘money worth’.

'De-clutter your life.  Not everything is necessary; not every information is important.'

Everyone requires the basic necessities of food, shelter and clothing.  Every other need falls between a comfort and a luxury position.  Comfort makes life a lot easier for you.  Luxury gives you a sense of power, that yearning to belong to a clique, or simply to show off.  Comfort puts you at relative easy.  Basic and luxury create tension.

Aspire to be above the basic needs position.  Strive to remain within the comfort position.  Aviod getting into a luxurious lifestyle (the luxury position).


If your intentions are noble, you will aim to find a noble path to acquiring wealth/riches.  If not, your path to weath maybe flawed.  Aim for and strive to remain in the comfort position; its the best position to achieve your life goals.  You can achieve your financial life goals with the help of a finance expert .  Find a finance expert  online or offline, depending on which works best for you.

ITS TIME TO MIND YOUR BUSINESS! (Part 1)

Hello!  Happy new to you!!  Hope you are still feeling new? Guess what?????  We are starting the year by minding the business that is ‘YOU’.  Yes, ‘YOU’; because you are a business of such potential magnitude that you can’t afford to let things just happen by chance.

YOU
Your personal attitude can affect the outcome of this year for you as an individual and even in business.
Convince yourself again about your life’s purpose: what do you really want from life?  How does your personality work with this, is there a conflict or are both in harmony? Your goal should be to keep developing your strengths and not wear yourself out doing too much or too little.



YOUR FINANCES 
If you are unable to manage your personal funds adequately, chances are you are likely to be unable to manage your business money.  ‘Being poor is not just a mindset; it’s an attitude and a lifestyle.’
Focus more on ‘resourcefulness’. ‘Resources may increase your current income, but resourcefulness will create an unending stream of WEALTH’.  Apple started out not resource focus but on being resourceful.  Today Apple is renowned not for its resources but for its resourcefulness (innovation). 




Be open to learning and trying new ideas.  Start where your strength lies.  The good news is that whether you decide to quit your job to start a business or stay put, you can still make more money.  You can be an investor, partner, affiliate, etc.

So, are you as passionate as I am for great chances in your finances?  Then join me for my next article – ITS TIME TO MIND YOUR BUSINESS (Part 2). 

Till next time,

Remember – information remains the new currency!

PS. 
This article is for you and someone else.  Remember part of your life goal should be to give and share with others.  Share your resourcefulness with someone else by sharing this article.  Let us help make 2015 a year of great financial success for us and those we care about.  Please share.

THANKSGIVING, C.S.R AND P.S.R

In my last article, I encouraged you to do something for an existing or potential prospect. Today, I want to talk about giving as a form of thanksgiving.

When businesses, corporations give, it is called Corporate Social Responsibility (C.S.R). When individuals give, it is called Personal Social Responsibility (P.S.R). Being responsible as a business or an individual is also thanksgiving.

As Americans celebrate thanksgiving (4th Thursday in November), they remind us that we have something to be thankful for. Look back over the past months and tell me just one thing you are thankful for (please… do add it as a comment).

So in the spirit of thanksgiving, do something for someone during the holiday period.

In my next article, I will be sharing one of the many ways you can give thanks as a business (CSR) or as an individual (PSR).

Till next time,

Remember – information remains the new currency.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

P.S – don’t forget to comment on what you are thankful for!

YOU CAN STILL W-I-N!

Everyone’s goal in life is to win. It’s perfectly normal to win some and lose some, unless you are not being true to yourself.

Do you have a hectic work schedule? Have you been trying to save up some money to start a business? Are you dealing with declining profits? Don’t worry, you are about to boost your chances!

As the holidays draw near, how do you create a WIN-WIN situation in business, your personal life or job??????????????????

DO S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G BIG FOR SOMEONE!

For a BUSINESS - Buy a unique gift for each customer. Forget about the branded mugs, jotters, pens, etc. get a real personal and special gift. For example – buy a bouquet of flowers for a female customer with a note attached – ‘From Company A. we love you’. Or you can do something obvious for your community; plan a Christmas visit to an orphanage, or show massive support for a local initiative.

For an INDIVIDUAL – Are you thinking of starting a business with a friend, a colleague? Then buy an interesting book on the subject matter. For example a book on ‘great partnership’. Remember to include your name and a heartfelt message. Also, remember your boss. Please get something for the big man!

A WIN-WIN

In the end, you make someone feel appreciated and boost your chances in work, greater business patronage or business opportunity.
So get going for “your position determines your attraction”.

This will create more rewarding and earning opportunities in the coming year.

Remember – Information is the new currency!

BE E-F-F-I-C-E-N-T WHILE YOU W-A-I-T

Have you found this frustrating?

Waiting for the kettle to boil? Waiting for the end of the month to settle certain bills? Waiting to hear from a prospective employer? Waiting for the bank to approval your business loan? Waiting for customers to place orders? Waiting for someone to follow you on twitter; like your facebook page or add a comment? The list is endless!

Waiting doesn’t have to be frustrating. It is not a waste of time. When you utilize the waiting period, you gain efficiency; you improve on your learning curve.

Explore these tips.

For a Business - use the waiting period to review your strategies and goals. Are your closest pals willing to patronize you? Get information from similar businesses with better performances.

For an individual – use the periods to search for alternative sources of income. It can be a part time job, partnership, a startup or even volunteering! So turn those frustrating periods each day into rewarding opportunities.

“YOU CAN; YOU WILL; LIFE CAN BE BETTER FOR YOU”!

Remember – ‘information (what you know & don’t know) is the new currency’

OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND EVERY WHERE!

I came out of the doctor’s office laughing. This was my third visit and all my visits were ‘food- related’ as Dr. Larry had pointed out.

My first visit was a few months ago. While frying some chicken, a splash of hot oil from the pan landed on my exposed chest. The injury was minor and took about two weeks to heal.

The second visit to the doctor was two months ago. The vegetable salad I got from a popular eatery was unknowingly contaminated and so resulted in food poisoning.

And now the third visit – my index finger burn from frying ripe plantain.

Now the above has created an opportunity for me to either make or market existing ointments that heal burns in just a few days! What a wonderful business opportunity!

Most times, you do not explore available opportunities not because they are not there, but because of the fear or laziness of starting out on your own. If I can get past my inhibition about blogging, you too can! So do something today. Even if it’s just for the fun of it – do it!

Till next time,

Always remember – ‘information is the new currency’
