Increasing My Value
It took 46 years for me to realize that I was holding myself back in my career. I am a businessman and I love it！ However I wasn‘t giving myself enough credit for my skills. In other words， I wasn’t charging enough for my services.
I was working too hard and barely getting by. This created a bad situation. Many people were calling me to ask for my services because they had heard about my low fees. I was overworked and began to dislike my job.
A few months ago， I took a workshop that taught me how to recognize my skills and see their dollar value.I began to see myself as a professional instead of someone to be taken advantage of.
It has been only a few months but I am beginning to see many fantastic changes in my career and life. My clientele has also changed. I am receiving jobs from some pretty amazing and important people in the community. I feel grateful that I have discovered a new relationship with my career and myself.
提高自我的價值
我花了四十六年，才了解到自己是職業生涯沒有進展的元兇。我是個實業家，我熱愛我的工作！但是我卻不怎么認同自己的能力，換句話說，我的服務沒有索取夠高的費用。我工作得很辛苦，卻只能勉強糊口。這造成了很糟的情況，許多人打電話找我工作，是因為他們聽說我的價格很低。我工作過量，而變得討厭工作。
幾個月前，我參加一個研討會，教我如何識別能力，并了解其代表的現金值。我開始視自己為專業人員，而不再任人利用。
雖然才過幾個月，不過我開始看到我的職業生涯和人生都有了許多很棒的改變，我的顧客也變了，我開始從社區里相當優秀且重要的一些人那里接到工作，我很高興能發現職業生s涯和人生的新關系。
