Tip to Stand Out #10: Focus on Creating Value, Not Just Making Money

Hey Friends,

Most people chase money.

The ones who stand out? They focus on creating value first.

Money is a byproduct of solving problems, helping people, and making an impact. If you want long-term success, shift your mindset: How can I add more value?

Core Lesson:
People don’t pay for products or services.
They pay for solutions to their problems.

If you consistently create value—whether through content, skills, or business—you’ll never have to “chase” money. It will find you.

Actionable Steps to Create More Value:

1. Identify a Pain Point:

   • What problem can you solve for people?

   • Example: If people struggle with writing, offer clear, simple copywriting tips.

2. Give Value for Free:

   • Share your insights and knowledge—whether through posts, conversations, or helpful advice.

   • Trust builds before transactions happen.

3. Make Every Interaction Valuable:

   • Whether in business, social media, or daily life, always leave people better than you found them.

Real-World Example:
Think of Gary Vaynerchuk.

He built a massive personal brand and business by giving value first.
He shares free, high-quality advice without expecting anything in return—and that’s why people trust him.

That trust turns into business.
