Selling innately incentivizes you to sell out, sell your soul, and sell useless shit in shiny packages
Creating Value is simply creating value and therefore it’s nothing less then that
The point of selling is selling
You sell — you win
You sell because the product, the service is great
Or you sell because you market it well
Because you make it shine with fake gold and fake credentials
Or you make it shine with real gold and real credentials
It doesn’t matter
Value is value and shine is just shine
Either you both gained in the transaction or one of you lost (or both really)
Whatever psychological trick you relied on or information asymmetry or legal loophole or what-have-you — I only care if the buyer got something of value, or not.
Mind you the buyer doesn’t care about value
He wants you to beguile him
And you do
We all do
And we waste all this time and energy, selling crap one to another
Imagine what could have been created with all that time, energy and resources that went into producing garbage vain crap, marketing it and selling it and still buying it and using it
Alas we’d rather be beguiled, drunk with cheap distraction and pretend there’s no hangover
You don’t want to be broke
You do want to feed your family
But you really don’t want to be a seller
You want to be EXTREMELY ARTICULATE, yes.
The irony is unless you’re a seller — you likely undersell yourself and the value you have to offer
But you don’t want to be the seller
You want to understand the value you’re offering
But foremost you want to be offering value
You want to focus on creating value
And the seller can far out-earn you selling useless garbage to other myopic fools like himself
But if you truly understand what value is — your entire life will be overflowing with value
And you will go to sleep knowing that whatever you did give — left the world a better place, and not worse
And that better place is for ALL of us to live, my friend
