Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. ~Einstein

    A successful person can be measured by money. But a valuable person cannot be measures by any kind of wealth. So we should try to be valuable than being successful.

    One of the most successful people I know sold products he developed over several years, about $15,000 worth of value that he sold as a package for $150. Value is key.

    A person's success is directly affected by the amount of value they're providing. It doesn't matter if it's legal or illegal; they're providing some sort of value to somebody.

    A social behavior expert might get paid top-dollar for giving a presentation to small businesses, just as a drug dealer can get paid well for dealing drugs. The point is that people perceive that these others are offering something of value, and so they're willing to pay for it.

    This is how success is built. Want to question it? Look up lawyer, master hypnotherapist, genius success coach, and self-made millionaire, Igor Ledochowski, especially in his "Money in Your Mind" series. Many insights in that man, and this is but one of them.

    Strongly agree! What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world and lost his own soul? It's better to be known as a man of substance, I guess...

    Heck yes, if you are not helping and teaching others the benefits of your success, the value of yourself is gone.

  • Always OVER-DELIVER! Always give more value then what you take from others. Whatever you are selling, make sure you are over-delivering and you will succeed!

  • Value is in the eye of the beholder.

    So make sure what you are giving is not just valuable in your own eyes, but also valuable in the eyes of your customers.

    But don't fall into the trap of thinking that what you have to offer might not be of any value to others. You never know for sure until you put it out there. You might just be on the road towards creating the most valuable product ever!

    Value will follow wealth. It's amazing how principles work in the real world. The more value the more money one can make.
