When you focus on adding more value to your organization (or client) than you take in payment, two things happen. Yesterday we talked about making yourself consistently and permanently employed. Today, we’ll talk about placing yourself in a prime position to rise to levels of greater potential. This happens not because you’re a nice person, or because gosh, you deserve it, or because you’re recognized for trying really, really hard.
This happened because the exceptional value you provide to your company, and their clients (your customers) cannot help but notice. Right away? maybe; maybe not. In time? Absolutely.
When your aim is to add extreme value, like the “great restaurant” example I gave a few days ago…when your focus is on giving even more in value than what you’re getting paid for, you will create a cycle of advancement that will sooner or later see your position, pay and influence all increase – and increase significantly.
Make this your north star, navigate by it daily, and you will always be the sought after resource. You will be the talent others seek…
