Know Your Worth to Justify Your Value

Understanding the reasons behind financial compensation is crucial for aligning efforts and maximizing impact. By identifying two or three key drivers for why clients or employers provide funding, one can prioritize tasks that enhance those outcomes. This insight allows for the reallocation of resources toward initiatives that yield better results and customer satisfaction. Moreover, investing time and effort into building relationships with customers reinforces trust and enhances retention, justifying long-term commitments. Reflecting on one's own value and contributions—whether by questioning if one’s efforts are worth their salary or if they would hire themselves—encourages accountability and conscious evaluation of performance.
