Collections of words. Collections of words that intend something similar, and yet different.<\/p>\n

They all describe a concept.<\/strong> That you trust your customers to determine the value they receive from your work, and to give accordingly.<\/p>\n

You can describe this concept, and your belief in it in many ways.<\/p>\n

Value-For-Value
\nPay What You Want
\nPay What You Value
\nGift Economy
\nPay What It’s Worth<\/h5>\n

The words you use are a choice in how you design your communications.<\/strong> It’s your brand. Your experience.<\/p>\n

What do you want and need to be valued in the exchange? How do you communicate your intent and the result you desire?<\/p>\n

Value-For-Value
\nPay What You Want
\nPay What You Value
\nGift Economy
\nPay What It’s Worth<\/h5>\n

In the end, these terms may differ in their meaning but they describe one truth in their action. That you are a business that is choosing to create it’s own economy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You’re criticizing the current economic system by creating your own system for valuing products and services. And it’s changing things.<\/p>\n

Just as your life choices are creating the world you live in, your business choices are creating the economy you work and exchange in.<\/p>\n

In trusting me to value you fairly, we’re creating an economy together where we step out of lack, and into a fair exchange of value, respect and love.<\/p>\n

Value-For-Value
\nPay What You Want
\nPay What You Value
\nGift Economy
\nPay What It’s Worth<\/h5>\n

To start creating your economy, it starts with the ask. <\/strong>The intention of your action.<\/p>\n

What do you intend to build with the economy you are creating? And how can you best express it?<\/p>\n

What lies within the art of your ask?<\/p>\n
