James Malinchak's Receiving Compensation For Your Great Gifts And Talents

By Stanton Harper


Being compensated for your skills and talent is something you need to accept as reasonable and as expected. You see, you're serving others with your time, talent, and energy. Your message can actually change other's lives. Therefore, the mindset that you don't deserve to be compensated or that you should be talking for free, should be dismissed immediately and forever. Rather, take pride in realizing how much you spend investing in your audience or clients to provide them the messages to change their lives. You write, rehearse, fly, travel, leave family, pack, stand in long lines, lose sleep, create PowerPoint, make charts, have layovers, miss birthdays, etc, all so you could be of service with your messages.

Think about it this way, you are serving other people by assisting people in creating results for themselves. This is you getting people out of pain and discomfort if they're going through a tough time. You might be like my former client who's a grief coach. She helps people through grief. Her program is 10,000 bucks for 3 months, and people are happy to pay for it because of the wonderful service she provides. I came up with whole process for her. She has a system which is really effective for getting folks through grief. Remember, grief is a process that is for more than death. Grief is a process of getting through the stress of job loss, pet loss, relationship loss, etc. I mean there are a lot of different versions of grief.

You see her system resulted with her determining the process to mend people's hearts and minds. She's fantastic with the biggest heart in the world. She wanted to help everyone, but she couldn't make any money doing it. She deserved to be compensated, she needed to make a living as her spouse suddenly died leaving her lonely, sad, and without money and resources to survive comfortably. Therefore, I restructured some things for her and now she gets a nice fee to help people through this misery so they could mourn while still continuing to live.

She taught me this information; the average person whenever they go through a grieving situation, particularly death, they lose 7 to 8 years of their life, based on a study in Time Magazine. If she can get someone through grief in 3 months or 6 months instead of grieving for years and years, how many of you would pay 10,000 for your father, mom, sister, or other loved one? Excuse me cancel - cancel. I learned that from Jack Canfield that we should cancel when we say words that were not our intention. Allow me to rephrase that question, how many of you would INVEST 10,000 bucks to save seven and a half years of your life or the life of somebody you love so you or they can get through a difficult time?

If she helps somebody like that and serves somebody like that, and she makes some money doing it so she can support herself, I can't see how money is a bad thing. If you donate, when you donate to children and helping children, how is money a bad thing. If you put food in hungry people's bellies because you could write a check to put food in a warehouse, is money a bad thing? Can I let you in on a little secret, money's got nothing to do with it? Money is neither good nor bad. It's what you as an individual as a human being decides to do with it.
