Use Or Abuse Your Influence
Let’s talk about your influence and how much power that influence can actually have on other people.
I have a question for you today. On the surface it may seem like a simple question. But don’t read over it too quickly, or you may miss it.
What are you doing today, to increase your skill at work?
It doesn’t matter what you do – whether you own your own business or work for someone else – this still applies to you. Bottom line, what determines your value in the marketplace is NOT your looks, your personality or your background. It’s your skill.
Consider this: Who makes more money, a general M.D. or a brain surgeon? The brain surgeon, of course! Why? Because he has specialized knowledge and skills. He has invested more time and money into learning higher skill sets.
It works the same way for you and me. If you increase your skill level, you will increase your pay.
And, good news – we each control our own skills. Therefore, we each control our own paychecks!
So, let me ask you again: What are you doing today to increase your skill at work?
I’m not asking what you did in college or last year or last week or even over the weekend. I’m asking what you’re doing today.
Many people mistakenly think it’s enough to only occasionally invest into their skills. They think just because they took a class last year or majored in a specific area in college, they’re set. But in reality, if you’re not growing, you’re falling behind… quickly!
So, let’s start with these three ways you can increase your value at work. You can begin in a ton of different ways, but these are just three easy “baby steps” for you today:
By filling these gaps/needs, you immediately increase your value!
I’m telling you, friend, when you consistently prioritize increasing your value, you WILL see incredible results! You will receive raises and promotions at work. Your business will explode! You will be shocked by the growth you see – in yourself and in your bank account!
So, what will you do today to increase your value? Hit me up on social media and let me know! Or join me at the next First Steps To Success and prove to yourself just how much value you put on your own skills.
In great faith,
