You're no doubt very important and of huge value to your family and friends. And in most cases they will lift you up by telling you how great you are. How does your personal value translate into monetary compensation from your employer and clients? Are you as valuable to the market place as you feel you should be? Why or why not?

Your value in the market place is what someone else is willing to pay you. An analogy that I think is relevant here is what my dad told me about Baseball Cards when I was young. I told him this card is worth $50, he said that's great but it is only worth what someone else will give you for it, because it is just a piece of cardboard to me.

Perfect analogy, LTC (Join to see). I completely agree. So would you say it's important to make yourself relevant to the people you want to be of service to?

There are a lot of moderating variables like requisite skills, how the bosses treat you, how you get along with fellow workers, how the corporation or company is doing, are you micromanaged, how generous the organization is.

Your family and friends will tell you that you are a great person, even if you are not, because they are your family and friends. Your value in the market place depends on whether you have the education and training needed by potential employers.
