Work and Money: Which is more important?

Today, let’s discuss work and money.

How often are we tempted to do something just for the money?

Indeed, I’ve done many things for money alone, and perhaps you have too, dear reader.

In my experience, it has always proved to be a mistake because no amount of money can compensate you for the drudgery of doing something you hate.

And more importantly, if you hate what you’re doing, you’re unlikely to do it very well, are you? It’s hard to feel motivated to do something you hate, surely?

Work and money:

My message today is simple. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, you won’t do it well. And if you don’t do it well, eventually you’ll come unstuck. And so it’s all going to end in tears, very probably.

Conversely, if you genuinely enjoy what you’re doing, it’ll hardly seem like work at all, and you’ll be motivated to do it well and produce the best results possible.

Do it well, and people will notice. Once they start to notice, your career will begin to move forward and upward. Every hiring manager wants someone with a track record for delivering exceptional results.

So never do anything for money alone. Money is nice to have, of course, and none of us can get by these days without it. However, life’s too short to spend your time doing something you hate.

Find a job that’s right for you first, and then work hard to master your trade. Improve at it, become more valuable, and then maximise your income.

When you’re producing exceptional results, never forget to ensure you’re getting paid what you’re worth.

It should never be about the money, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore your value and undervalue yourself. It’s about work and the value you can add first, and then it’s about ensuring you’re suitably rewarded for the value you deliver.

Be a dedicated professional, of course, but don’t be a mug. Just because it’s not about the money doesn’t mean you should ignore the money.

You may not be driven by money, but it’s fair to accept the reward for your efforts.
