How Much I am worth?
Wrist slap or not, I obviously didn't read his email properly... so double wrist slap for Tim..
Urm... well... dunno really... lets do some math
If I add up all the books I have read this year, training and seminars ,etc etc... multiply by my age, divide by the factor of how many people I train each week.. add the number I first thought of and hey presto I still haven't got a clue????
OK, seriously now. I came into this industry 3 years ago and the plan was in the first year to match my old job's salary of about 30K EUR per year within one year... Well i kind of did but didn't cos I was doing some web development gigs, working for my fathers business etc etc... and my training income didn't even stretch to 15% of the total... pitiful
The 2nd year was better, but not by much
This year has been a blinder, broke away from the shackles of my fathers business, took myself way out of my comfort zone, found a mentor to kick my ass and I am well on the way to a 45K+ income for this year... :o)
But really that is not what I am worth. I have a head, some people say I have personality, charm sofistication, spelling, grammer, good looks yada yada yada....
This year has been good, next year will be at least 5 times this year. With more trainers, info products, and JVs with all and sundry. Next year will be 1/4 million Eur year. Am I worth it? Why should I be worth it? I believe that the stuff I write is good, I am working to get rid of a few demons in relation to limiting beliefs. To be honest I have not really touched the surface of the stuff Dax has taught me since Feb this year, I know the 6 months will be one hell of a ride.
Does that answer your question Dax?

No, it doesn't... but I still love ya! : )
Look Tim, money's got this funny 'rule', it goes to those who deserve it.
Years ago, I didn't believe that, I thought that the people who earned big bucks were those who somehow conned and exploited others and, because of this, money never found me.
I guess I never wanted to be a conman or exploiter, right?
Now, I have no doubt whatsoever as to my value.
I am worth MILLIONS a year and deliver an awesome value for that.
As the most expensive trainer in the UK (and one of the most expensive in the world at the moment) I am easily worth the money that I get paid.
My 2 hours of mentoring a week earn me more than most will earn in an entire month and my books and other programs are almost on auto pilot with cash coming in daily from work I did a year ago... and more.
I believe in my value and am not embarrassed or uncomfortable talking about my rates, my income, my trips, etc.
They are my reward for service well given and I accept that my increasing wealth is a reflection of my increasing feeling of self-worth.
DO NOT limit your wealth by playing safe, being modest or underselling yourself.
You serve no-one by playing small, least of all yourself.
Know your worth and you shall know your wealth my friend.
To say 'I am worth £X per hour' is not conceit any more than saying a pound of minced beef is £1.97.
Know your worth!
Try again my friend.
