Another thought about value and stakes

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I recently wrote about how to structure a persuasion. I followed that deeper with posts on empathy and value and stakes. While watching the movie Argo, which is about the Iranian Hostage Crisis in the ’80s. Another thought became clear, stakes are always that which you can never buy.

Here is a list of possible stakes that you can’t buy:

  • Life
  • Trust
  • Respect
  • Health
  • Wisdom
  • Confidence
  • Empathy
  • Purpose
  • Self-Esteem
  • Friendship

Those are all possible stakes. While I’m sure there is more that can be added, this is a good start if you are stuck.

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.
