money isn't evil
money isn't evil.
earning money is the result of value you created. earning it ethically shows the problems you solved and the good you contributed.
you offer skills or services that someone else finds valuable enough to pay for.
the term "making money" sounds predatory. but it's really an exchange.
your skills, time, or products are traded for money. it's a cycle that benefits both parties.
wanting to earn well isn't greedy. it's a goal.
the more you want to earn, the more value you aim to provide. that ambition should be celebrated.
this matters especially in sales. companies like patagonia and the body shop built billion-dollar businesses by creating genuine value. fair trade practices. environmental responsibility. ethical operations.
they didn't trick anyone. they solved real problems people cared about and got paid accordingly.
in sales, your income directly reflects the value you create. help more people solve meaningful problems, earn more money.
that's not manipulation. that's the market rewarding you for creating value.
so as you move forward in your career, think of money as a certificate of value you provide.
let it push you to continually create, innovate, and contribute.
this mindset will empower you to change not only your own life but also make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
the best part? in sales, you see this feedback loop immediately. solve someone's problem today, see the commission next month.
that direct connection between value creation and compensation is what makes sales careers powerful.
