Chasing money or happily underpaid?
Every Tuesday I receive Lee Fowlers' newsletter, filled with business ideas, tips and interesting thoughts (sometimes very deep thoughts).
This week one of the topics is called: Do more than required this week
"By being passionate about the work you do, you will deliver more in quality service than you expect to receive in payment as compensation. This, in effect, is a way to keep money or value chasing you, rather than you chasing it. By always doing more than expected, you'll always be underpaid - which is how it should be.
For if you're paid more than you're worth, you eventually will be restructured, reengineered, replaced, fired, outplaced, declared obsolete and disposed of. Overpaid individuals are overdrawn on their knowledge and skills bank account. Individuals who are underpaid for the level and quality of service they provide are always in demand and always ahead of the pay scale in terms of knowledge and contribution. So money and opportunity are always chasing them.
Let money chase you, but
never let it catch you, or you'll become a slave to money, instead of money
working for you."
(Dr Denis
Waitley)
Just thought I would share this with you all.
I really like this idea of 'overpaid individuals being overdrawn on their knowledge and skills bank' and agree that in the end, these kind of people will be re-evaluated as 'lacking'.
