In recent post I have discussed celebrating you, releasing fears, taking control and variety ot topics centered around your VALUES , a noun which defines beliefs or ideals which guide your actions. Now I am going to discuss the term VALUE. Webster’s Dictionary defines the verb VALUE as a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged or the monetary worth of something in the market price.
Many educators or anyone that gives abundantly as a part of their nature often and consistently undervalue their own worth – monetarily how much are you worth? Those in education have come to accept as the norm to be underpaid, overworked and under appreciated. I understand that concept because I also ascribed to it. However, I came to recognize and made a paradigm shift to VALUE my worth and did not give up my ‘Values’.
Within my book The Wealthy Teacher I describe the Three Pillars of Success – Your Mindset, Your Values and Your Worth. Visualize a three-legged stool that represents you. If one is not present the stool will collaspe.
Tip #7 – Know your VALUE!
You have a college degree, you have a specialized expertise and know how to connect and motivate individuals to reach goals. These are specialized skills and in any other sector are valuable assets. Take those attributes and convert them into a value set for you. In education we don’t need to think in an entrepreneurial mindset and have devalued these skills. People will PAY for your services and products. It’s time to put a dollar value on what you have to offer and start making them work for YOUR benefit.
