What are you doing to create value for your organization? What significance do you bring to the table? As a leader, how do you inspire your people to give their best to your cause? Take a minute to answer these questions.
The following quote from The Artist Farm links earning money to creating value:
Next time you are stressed out about money be self-reflective. Rather than stressing about how you can get more money for money’s sake, focus instead on how you can provide more value to more people. All sorts of wealth will flow from this mindset.

Hi Michael,
nice post!
You’re approach is absolutely right.
The basic mindset must be oriented towards
creating value for your customers.
I think we all should even give our best
to create value for our society.
Each one of us should try to become a human
being of value somehow.
This attitude leads to confidence and happiness.
Yours,
Hauke
