“Money Is Nothing But The Measure Of The Value You Create For Other People”

Everyone needs to read this, it is the foundation of Success shared by the person who I have significant respect for. His name is Mark Anastasi, author of The Laptop Millionaire.

As Brian Tracy puts it, this is the 'Law of Income':

"You Get Paid In Direct Proportion To The Amount Of VALUE You Deliver According To The Market place! 

Your financial success is directly related to the size of the problem you solve for other people (solve BIG problems and you'll make BIG money).

You will always be paid in direct proportion to the work you do, how well you do it, and the difficulty of replacing you.

Do more than you are paid for. There are never any traffic jams on the extra mile."

In another book of his, Brian also states: "Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.

Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?"

“You Become Rich By Enriching Others!”,says Earl Nightingale, in his course 'The Strangest Secret', a sentiment echoed in the words of Zig Ziglar:

“You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

At my recent event 'The World Speaker Summit', international venture capitalist Bill Walsh stated:

“Don’t chase after the money.  Instead, tell me how many customers you are serving. (Serve MORE people, bring them valuable solutions and products, and money will
find YOU).

Build a real business. This means focusing on two things: customer acquisition and customer nurturing.”

And of course Dan Kennedy's philosophy about this is that you need marketing skills, in order to add value to lots of people.

“You become wealthy adding value to large numbers of people. But how can you add value to people if you don’t know how to reach them?!”   […]  Waiting around to be discovered, to be recognized, to be noticed, to be appointed, to be promoted
guarantees one thing and one thing only: old age and a long life of labor in oblivion.”  

You see, people buy from people they know, like, and trust.

And guess what? Giving away great solutions and content for free provides you with an opportunity to be known, liked, and trusted by thousands of people.

Instead of asking yourself"How can I make more money?", (where the focus of this question is you) ask yourself these million-dollar quality questions that unlock your creativity and open up a million possibilities:

"How can I add more value?"
"What problems do people have?"
"How can I provide more solutions to more people?"
"Who could buy or sell a ton of my stuff?"

“I only started making money online when I stopped trying to make money online. Instead, I did webinars for FREE for a couple of potential joint venture partners, to give them VALUE.

The upshot of giving away this value for free was that it helped build my list, and I made £17,000 in 21 days from promoting my first webinar to my new list.”
