Get paid what you are really worth, It’s your$ after all

Money SignWho says we must work 9-5 for five days a week and be miserable in order to earn a proper income? The idea that time and money are a fair trade is ridiculous. Think of providing value for money and your perceptive will start to change. If you are earning $10 per hour in your current job, that means you have agreed to give your time for a fixed rate. In this case you provide one hour of value to your company for $10. Do you think your employer promises his or her customers X number of hours a day devoted to serving them? No, absolutely not. Your employer promises customers the value they pay for, whether it is a high-quality product, friendly customer service solutions or a well-placed ad campaign. The customers are paying for the value they receive, and your company is charging for the value it delivers, so why shouldn’t you be paid for the value you provide? So, what’s your value, $10 per hour or $1,000 for a service you provide (whether that service takes one hour or 20 hours to complete)? I go for the latter.
