Money follows value, not hard work.

Working harder does not necessarily mean earning more.

Like look at it.

Look at the world.

Look outside your window.

You see so many people who are working harder but who are not making much money.

So instead of working just harder and focusing on working harder, working harder instead...

Focus on creating and delivering ridiculously outrageous value.

This is what attracts wealth.

Let's think about a big name, for example, Steve Jobs.

It wasn't his hard work that made him a billionaire.

But the value that he created with Apple products, his vision, his innovation, his ability to solve problems in ways that people valued were the real drivers of his wealth.

Now to apply the secret to your life, to apply the secret, ask yourself, how can I provide more value? How can I provide more value than my competitors? How can I provide more value than anybody has a right to ask for? Whether it's in your career, your business, your personal life, your friendship, wherever you go, be a value adder, not a value extractor.

Because when you focus on serving and solving problems for others, wealth.

will

follow.

For example, if you're a consultant, instead of focusing on just hours worked, I worked at it nine hours.

No, think about how you can solve bigger problems for your clients, for many people at a deeper level, because the more value you bring, the more you're willing to move, they are going to be willing to pay for your service, pay for your expertise.

Creating value is not just for entrepreneurs, by the way.

I repeat, creating value is not just for entrepreneurs.

even people with jobs, you can create more value by improving your process, improving your communication, improving your leadership, leading initiatives, bringing innovative ideas to the table because the more valuable you are to your employer, the faster your career salary will grow.

One of my clients, Rajat, a mid-level manager, was stuck in his role for years.

Once he shifted his focus to delivering more value, he came to me, got trained by me on his public speaking skills, leadership skills, and he became more valuable to his team, his company, and Rajat was promoted twice in just 11 months.

And now he's making almost double the money than he was making before.
