How much do you think you are worth

Greetings:

Every Monday Morning I have coffee with Cookie, virtual coffee that is. I subscribe to Coach Cookie Tuminello's ezine, Monday Morning Coffee with Cookie. It is one of my favorite ezines and when I don't get it I email Cookie wondering where it is. Cookie always shares great insight and wisdom. Her email is always great. Today however it was exceptional. And I just had to share it with you. It is a great question to ask, how much do you think you are worth. What you think creates your value. You put your own price tag on yourself. You are worth what you believe you are worth, no more and no less. Think about it!

Also I just loved the quote Cookie used from Wayne Dyer.



Monday Morning Coffee With Cookie

Quote:
"A bar of iron costs $5, made into horseshoes its worth is $12, made into needles its worth is $3500, made into balance springs for watches, its worth is $300,000. Your own value is determined also by what you are able to make of yourself." - Wayne Dyer

How much do you think you are you worth? How much success do you think you deserve? Are you worth a $5 bar of iron or a $300,000 balance spring for a fine watch? You are what you make of yourself. Herein lies the problem. We allow others to determine our self worth and how much success we should or should not have. If we don't put a high value on our own self worth, do you think anyone else will?

One of my first coaches and mentors used to tell me that everything I wanted to know about success and finding my way home (finding myself), could be learned from the movie, "The Wizard of Oz." At the time I didn't get it. Oh sure, I knew the story of Dorothy and The Wizard of Oz, but not in the sense that he was talking about. You have to realize I was pretty clueless and unconscious in those days. So clueless in fact that when my coach asked me to stop and check in with myself, I thought he meant the hotel we were staying at for the seminar he was giving. Like Dorothy, it took me a while to get the big "IT."

The "Big IT" for me was finally waking up and realizing that I had everything I needed to be successful right inside of me. I just needed to learn what the right tools were that would allow me to unlock my inner answers.

Your self worth and your success is defined and determined by YOU. It is an extension of who you are. You have to own it before you can sell it to someone else.

Let me give you an example. When I first hung out my coaching shingle, I agonized over how much to charge. I was so worried about attracting clients that I only charged $25 an hour. I shudder every time I think about how little I thought of myself. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Another example was that when I first started my business I treated it as a hobby, not a bonafide business. I would put someone else's needs ahead of my own in a heart beat. It wasn't until I started treating my business like a business that my business became a business.

This week, ask yourself this question: Are you a $5 bar of iron or a $300,000 balance spring for a fine watch? And if you have trouble figuring it out, just pretend you're Dorothy.
