You're exactly right... Those that do not see their own worth, receive less from their work. Nothing truer could be said. Since this thread is about money, lets bring up some economics.
In the same marketplace, you have people working minimum wage and clipping coupons. In the other side of the market you have the people providing the wages and providing quality services.
Who are you going to be? The coupon clipper? I'm not here to promote either lifestyle, but I've never thought that I was worth less than $200 an hour. Stuck at $10 an hour? Many people have discovered that if you don't place fear and desire around money, the currency of our world will be more freely accessible to you.
I have put in more hours and more sweat than most people could dream of. What some of you think as greed, is just the return for the work my partners and I have put in.. Decades of hard work. I'm not stealing your money, or forcing anybody to buy our gear. We are providing the finest product in the market and we don't go cheap on anything from our soil to our values. This is why we are supported by our peers.
In fact, if you rode on my ship, you'd be on your way to accomplishing something big. Possibly improving the lives of the people around you. There's a lot of good things going on here, if only the hate and the blinders were removed.
We aren't here to sit on the sidelines and point fingers at others, and tell people how they should run their business. We just do what we do best.. Always focusing on the up and up, and no amount of hate can hide the incredible miracles that are happening here right now.
There is a difference in perspectives. How you think of others will dictate your life. You don't have to support me. But you ought to support yourself. All is self.
