Value creation

[Furball808]

What’s one thing we all do? We create value. Our journey and methods may be different but in order to make money, we create value. We invest in ourselves (education for example). We learn new skills which all can be offered to customers or clients. We make ourselves valuable basically. So, always remember to build up your skills and knowledge, your portfolio, invest in yourself and in your work.

I agree that creating value and developing oneself are essential foundations for one's financial journey. Conceptually, everyone creates value, but in reality, not everyone is equal. The ability to extract value into money is largely determined by access to education, economic stability, social environment, free time, mental health, and initial capital (even as little as a smartphone or internet connection). So, it's not just about will and skill, but also capacity and opportunity. For example, someone who has to work double shifts to survive isn't due to a lack of value creation, but because their life structure doesn't allow for it.

Self-investment without a market strategy is like skill without an audience. Everyone needs channels and connections to market needs, a positioning strategy, social networks, and monetization capabilities to sell value. Don't forget that the world is sometimes unfair.
Someone clearly creates vital value, but the economic structure places them at minimal compensation. Therefore, the statement "make yourself more valuable and the money will follow" is often too normative and ignores structural inequalities.

In my opinion, there are three pillars of financial progress:

• Individual ability, skills, discipline, mindset
• Structural opportunities, job access, living wages, economic stability
• Social environment, support, networks, role models, and family financial education. When we focus solely on the first point (self-improvement), we tend to blame the individual and forget the context.

Self-development must be balanced with a realistic financial strategy. Sometimes, having good skills but lacking an emergency fund can lead to instability. Diligent self-investment without a cash flow plan leads to leaks. Learning a lot of new things but not prioritizing them results in skills accumulating and income remaining stagnant. So, the key is not just building value, but also managing a financial structure that can support this process.

So, in simple terms,

• Self-improvement is the foundation
• Financial strategy is the direction
• Opportunity is the bridge
• The social ecosystem is the reinforcement

What that is most important is to invest in oneself. I mean learn daily and improve yourself in knowledge and experience. There is nothing better than this.

The second will then be your business. But life also needs to come with opportunities. Exposure can be very helpful and it can make opportunities come nearer to you but your knowledge is very important in seeing the opportunities earlier and able to grab it.

What that is most important is to invest in oneself.

The process involved with investing in yourself is very stressful, or should I say difficult, such that when some people think about it, they just quit from the beginning.

For instance, if you want to invest in yourself by learning a new skill, you will have to commit daily to learning something until you are able to move from novice to master. You see, that kind of commitment is what some people know they lack, and hence choose to ignore investing in a skill.

If it is an educational qualification, when some people think of not even the fees but the effort they will need to put into reading, researching, and learning to be able to get that certification, they quit from the beginning and choose to be okay with what they have.  

If it is fitness and health goals, when some people think of the effort they will need to put into the daily workout routines and the quitting of unhealthy foods, they just quit from the beginning.

Because these people have thought about the process and not the goal, they have not been able to become more valuable from investing in themselves.

I agree that we should increase our value in various ways, as this will also increase our chances of earning more money. However, we need to be specific. By this, I mean we shouldn't develop ourselves in too many areas, simply choose one or two skills and develop them until we become proficient, so that we can earn money from them.

Service and product delivery is all about value and where you're not offering value then no one would sought for your service. And to retain value and make it more sought for, you have to standout, you have to up-skill on current trends in your industry because that's where your balance emanates from so you don't steep slope from the competition within.

In the current scheme of things, there are people that are ignorant of where the world is heading to, they still submerge themselves with outdated knowledge and  crude skills that are either not needed as it was in times past or are overcrowded with overwhelming competitions with few openings available. Currently, data science is the new trend and very less people are into it, there and other related tech areas is where people should start developing skills in because of it value to today's challenges.

The payments we often get after jobs and offering of services or sales of products are rewards for values, if you are not bringing value  to the table, I don't think anyone will be throwing put some free money at you just like that. The value you bring always does equates the rewards you get at everytime you are been rewarded. The whole essence of self improvement and acquisition of knowledge and skills is to further increase and boost the quality of our values so that we will have our rewards bigger and also gives us the privilege to get a tase of the kind of value others have to offer which will in a way benefit us just the way our own values has been of benefit to others who could afford it.

If you want higher rewards and better compensation for the value you have to offer in for of skills, services or goods, then always be open to improvement, always sort for knowledge and update that which you have had for the longest, always make sure to put in the work and you will surely see the results, it may take time, but surely you are going  to see the results.

people often complain about the lack of employment but some of them don’t have anything to offer anyway

when we are looking for jobs, we always think of what the company can offer us but we should also think what can WE offer to our employers that will make them want to hire us and compensate us? the more we can offer, the better the pay

[9ja Amaka]

Yes I agree with you, creating value for yourself is you deciding you want to level up, it doesn’t mean you’ll change overnight ,it’s just doing things that makes you a better version of yourself by learning and improving yourself whether it’s from school, online , learning a skill or even business.
As you try business ideas or side hustles you’ll begin to understand people, money and responsibility, you’ll learn how to think and plan .All these helps you to grow into someone more valuable and capable to control their life.

What keeps you relevant is if you are a person of value. you have to continue adding value to the next person, become a resource that lightens your environment and in any way within your ability make yourself a valuable person that solves the problem people around you are facing. problem solvers are in high demand in the society and they are the ones that are valued and that can easily generate wealth for themselves through that means.

in your work environment, the difference between the person that gets kicked out easily and the other that is cherished is the fact that one is a person of value to the organization which means that he has an attribute that keeps him relevant in the work space. if you invest enough in yourself and ensure you are adding values to yourself consistently, it leads to higher generation of wealth and gives one a sense of relevance in the society.

Life is a product of investment, you can only get what you have invested your time and effort to on the long run. The value you creates for yourself is the way that others too will address and relate with you.that is why personal self development should be a priority by everyone because, when ever you develop yourself in one area of your life you automatically adds value to that aspect of your life. Creating value for yourself is an important thing that should be done with all level of consciousness because everything you can't grow beyond the way that you develop yourself.


Going for seminar, acquiring a skill taking steps that will lead to you having a good sources of incomes which means involves one to invest for the purpose of adding value to his life in the area of finances are all ways adding value to yourself.

When people hear invest in yourself they look at themselves and claim they don't have money so they believe they can't invest in themselves but investing in yourself is not all money. You can invest time in yourself learning how to be disciplined, calculative and high level of accountability.
Personal growth is the impact your make on your self and behavior and with the right behavior you can make the most of what your finances can afford you.

I have to say these are really some wise words. If we create value for ourselves is when we gain financial value. We have to invest in ourselves first. It maybe to up-skill ourselves, invest in better education or healthcare and take good care of ourselves. Financial wealth will automatically follow if all things are in place. We just can't keep chasing money because it will just making earning money more and more difficult.

We should be in a position where money chases us and this can only happen if we have good skills and are educated enough. Creating value for ourselves takes patience, consistency and dedication. We will have to invest time which is not cheap anymore. We should be mentally prepared to invest our time and gain the required skills.

A lecturer back when I was in school always told me the importance of creating value he believed in it so much than acquiring a degree. Ina country where we have more than 10000 students graduating every year, the work sector is filled up, what can make you stand out and be unique is your value, the one thing you do differently which is your skill, this is what is going to attract the right people to you

Here, there's only one thing that we can offer and that is our skills. Employers does not expect much rather than us completing the given task with efficiency and saving some time while being the best at job. It is not really that difficult if we are motivated enough and if we are taking the job seriously. That's why employers have internal promotions so they can give better chances to well performing employees.

We should be skilled enough before we can even start the job because without skills, we will be solely dependent on the training and support from seniors. Employers do not want that. They want us to be on auto-pilot so we can work individually without any support and if possible, we can start supporting others and helping them resolve their issues.

I would simply say people are value and creation within an economy.  Many countries including China and others are losing people, they have to fight the tide to improve their economy while suffering that loss.
  Its much harder to gain while you lose a working population, very rarely do I hear this argument while immigration is discussed because people are valuable quite easily and the rise of AI will not alter their growth value.

[Findingnemo]

You provide something that is valuable (work) and get the reward in return (salary). And it can be done in a lot more ways than just providing a service or just a product, which is what we call it a multiple revenue stream one of the way to get rich in your lifetime itself because with the traditional one-way method, you may have to be very luck to get that extreme success.

Now the problem is more people and less demand, which reduced the reward that widening the gap between the rich and others. The system is rigged and one who can crack the code can go up the ladder.

We create, we provide and we solve. That's how value is made if it has something that it's in, and becomes more valuable if it solve problems. And investing into ourselves isn't only about the skills and knowledge that we can have but also taking care of our wellness is also investing. Our personal health should not be forgotten if someone is investing to themselves because just as we know, it is the wealth that we have so don't forget about that.

The best investment you can ever make is in yourself, most people wonder why they find it difficult to maintain a job, asides from the fact that they might be incompetent it is possible that they are not valuable. It is important to learn a high income skill that you would be able to give you income in the long run. One common mistake people make is that they go to school and after they graduate they just sit back and wait for the government to provide a job fot them without learning valuable skills that can make them self employed
