Are you owning your value? Have you consciously claimed your soul level gifts and what you bring to the table? Your innate gifts to the world have value to others. If you are not making the money you want or if you are questioning your career choices, ask yourself if you are really owning your value.
In an earlier post about tips for overcoming disappointment, I wrote about communicating your value. Today I wanted to expand on what that exactly means and how you can use it to your advantage in your career, relationships, and life in general.
Owning Your Value
So many of us don’t think our Soul’s gifts are all that special. What talents do you have that you completely enjoy, find easy for you, and may not even consider them a gift? How would you really spend your time after you won the lottery and got over the initial euphoria of the first year? What would you do on a daily basis if money were not an issue? This is a great sign of where your soul’s purpose hides out.
Are you able to say just the right thing to make someone feel better? Can you intuitively figure out the underlying “why” behind someone’s actions? Do you just have a gut feeling and “know” something? Do your friends tell you you’re a great writer or speaker, or sing or play an instrument well? Those seemingly small things can sometimes be swept under the rug or brushed off as nothing special. They are special. They are your own innate traits that make you who you are.
Thinking that you cannot be paid well enough to earn a living from those talents is one ingrained in to many brains. If you find yourself saying, “No one will pay that much for my product or service”, or “I can’t charge more than what others are charging”, that is because you are not owning the value of what you have to offer.
Finding Your Tribe
Connecting to others is still a great method of defining the value you bring to others. By keeping an open mind and listening to what others have to say, you will be able to see and hear where what you have to offer fits in.
The key can often be finding the right group of people to associate with. I would hazard a guess it probably is not the group you are currently hanging around with or marketing to now. In the case of marketing, who is your ideal customer? If you have a product that is worth $500.00, are you marketing to people who can only pay $200.00?
Communicating Your Value
Are the thoughts, words, and signals that you are sending out matching what others are hearing? You may think that people really know what you are about, but is that what is actually coming out on the surface? What do you need to do to become recognized as you want others to see you? Does what you say and do match how others think of you and about your work?
If you have done what you can and your efforts have still gone unnoticed, think about some self-promotion. How often do you let others know about what you are working on or what you have accomplished? Do you just secretly hope that others will notice your efforts?
You first need to be absolutely clear about your value and what you have to offer. Then you need to communicate that clearly to others, and in some cases shout it from the rooftops. If you are not owning your value in what you offer, no one else will see it either.

Hi Laura,
Marketing? What marketing?
LOL but really, I don’t do any! Surely I should, but one step at a time I guess 🙂
I really would be doing the exact same thing, if money was no object. Perhaps on a grander scale and definitely with someone else doing many of my other “jobs”! You certainly wouldn’t find me fighting with my blog ever again, and it would be much prettier, too. Food for thought.
Hi Julie,
I would also be doing the same thing. I would just be doing it from a lush tropical locale and traveling a lot more.
Hi Laura,
Wonderful post and very true! I know marketing is what I lack and funding is short for that..it’s a catch-22.
I love what you do and what you write. Keep up the good work!
Thank you again for a lovely reading the other day. You were spot on!
Marsha
Hi Marsha,
You are welcome for the reading! I am so glad it resonated with you. It was wonderful to talk with you, especially about Astrology.
As I read this blog entry it was painful. I know that I am not using my talents to their utmost. I know that I am talented and have plenty to offer. People call me after hearing my recorded natal chart readings and rave about good they felt because of the affirmation of things the sensed but never could really put a finger on. I know I need to do more.
Thanks for the affirmation. I really enjoy your blog. Peace. Love Blessings.
Hi Day!
It is great to meet you. You CAN do more and you are worth more. I know it is scary sometimes. Let your light shine!
As usual, you hit the nail on my head! OUCH! Just kidding! I am in a stump wanting to stay home with my little one and needing a job to pay bills. I have been scratching my head trying to figure something out. I am a crafter, Birth Assistant, advocate against Domestic Violence (on a blog) and antiques and I enjoy writing. I have done eBay… Oh my I’m rambling! Thanks again for your insight!
Hi Melinda,
You are welcome and I am glad the post resonated with you. I just read your recent blog post. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you Laura I appreciate the prayers! When I ever get a few bucks in my pocket I hope to have a reading done. Thanks again for helping me learn how to tap into my own mind to trust myself. Have a wonderful day!
