Questioning the Value of Getting Things Cheap

by Tara Joyce | Pay What It's Worth Pricing

Balance

Why is it a good thing to pay less than something is worth?

Why do we buy the story that happiness results from underpaying for something?

Often we can be so far removed from a product’s creation that it’s hard for us to understand the value of the thing we are buying. But, when we have first-hand evidence of the love, time and energy put into creating something, why would it feel good for us to undervalue it?

How do you feel when your time, energy or love is undervalued?

Get What You Give

If we believe that we get what we give, why would we choose to be ‘undervalued’ through actively undervaluing others?

Why would we not simply strive for a fair deal in our transactions – where both buyer and seller are respected and valued?

What Being an Innerpreneur Means to Me (And Only Me)

InnerpreneurWord

[tweetmeme] I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again, I did not make the word Innerpreneur up. I was only drawn to it once upon a time ago (early 2007) when I was starting my business.

I saw the book Karma Queens, Geek Gods and Innerpreneurs in the bookstore and despite the fact that I had little interest in the book’s overall themes, I bought it. I was compelled by the term, Innerpreneur, and intrigued by the people it described.

It spoke to me. I connected with it. I didn’t totally understand what being an Innerpreneur meant but I found truth in it.
