What Are You Selling?

What are you selling?  I don't care who you are, if you make money, you are selling something.  We all work for money, and this is where there may be a misconception.  Position sometimes implies a lack of need for money, the higher the position, think CEO, the more lofty and less nitty gritty money appears to be.  Looking up, way up, over the stacks of money that CEO guy or gal is sitting on is a worker bee, busy busy, not counting their money, but working away like any drone in the hive.  The CEO thinks about money just like everyone else because he too, has to work for it.  Sometimes we trick ourselves, or at least I have, into believing I work for the joy of it, the pleasure of serving, the purposefulness of using my talents to help others...yes, yes and yes, this is true, but when it comes to work there is naturally and energetically attached a belief that there will be a monetary return for my efforts, otherwise, it is charity work. Getting clear about value, that is the beginning, the starting point to saying a fee, sticking to it and collecting.
