5 ways to be compensated.

Uncategorized 1 Minute
  • Increased respect
  • Increased goodwill
  • Connections
  • Raises or promotions
  • Direct payment

Most people prefer the last one, however, at the highest levels, the others are more powerful. Two examples of the power of spending years building the first three:

  • Speakers like Seth Godin, Tony Robbins, Simon Sinek who can draw a crowd on their name and reputation alone.
  • Tim Ferriss who raised $500,000 in an hour for a startup leveraging his connections.

If seeking compensation for every piece of work you do, make sure the value of the compensation being offered is clear to you.

I believe in helping people in whatever way you can. In the power of creativity to transform a life, a business and the world. That if everyone was more generous the world would thrive. I've been an engineer. A consultant. An entrepreneur. And a salesperson. I also enjoy art. Today, I write. Stemming from my diverse experiences, I have a broad perspective and share it with others on topics from doing work you love to running a small business.
