How to Earn More Money From Your WorkThis idea of making more money from your work could be likened to
the concept of Trade Marking. The willingness and persistence in
consistently producing excellent output ensures that people will
always see your mark in your work. It is a great asset for one
to be associated with quality output and the reverse is also
true.
A successful manufacturer says "if you make a good pin, you will
earn more money than if you make a bad steam engine." "If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or
make a better mouse trap than his neighbour," says Emerson,
"though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a
path to his door." This is the power of trade marking. Why would they come to you
even if you live in the woods? You would have created a trade
mark for yourself. People would only part with their hard-earned
money to purchase value. To do what you do well as the motto of my alma mater Saint
Mary's University has it "age quod agis" that is the key to
success. This is of tremendous importance because it builds for
you a great reputation that could earn you tons and tons of
tangible and intangible rewards. Even if you feel that your employer is not paying you enough
for the job you are doing, it behoves you to keep on working and
to even work harder, for you will surely be paid for it; not
necessarily by your current employer but surely some day you
will be rewarded, if you persist in making a trade mark out of
your work. In his book The Master Key to Riches, Napoleon Hill says "an
important principle of success in all walks of life and in all
occupations is a willingness to Go the Extra Mile; which means
the rendering of more and better service than that for which one
is paid, and giving it in a positive mental attitude." Ralph Waldo Emerson also supports the habit of going the extra
mile as he succinctly put it in his essay on compensation, "if
you serve an ungrateful master, serve him the more. Put God in
your debt. Every stroke shall be repaid. The longer the payment
is witholden, the better for you; for compound interest on
compound interest is the rate and usage of this exchequer" What we gain from our work is much more than the money we are
paid, the greater reward is contained in the intangible rewards
of experience and value. You never know when an alternative
employer will come across your work and hire you; or better
still you might apply for another job and if your unjust
employer knows that you are going to quit his establishment, he
would surely pay you more to stay but that will only be the case
if you give the work your best in spite of being underpaid. In his book, "Pushing to the Front" Orison Swett Marden advises
that one should not dwell too much upon the salary you are paid,
for he says that you have something of far greater value at
stake: "your honour, your whole career, your future success,
will be affected by the way you do your work, by the conscience
or lack of it which you put into your job. Character, manhood
and womanhood are at stake, compared with which salary is
nothing." So what is stopping you from creating your own trade mark? Make
the work that comes from your hands unique in quality and supply
it to the fullest possible quantity. Success will be yours! Momodou Sabally is a Motivational Speaker and Author. He has developed a series of articles for Instant self-motivation available at his website www.mlsabally.com
