How to Define the Value You’ll Give in Return – Step 2
May 15, 2025Once you have completed Step 1 (fixed the exact amount of money they desire), Step 2 becomes the grounding force.
Step 2: “What Will You Give in Return?”
Wealth is not about what you wish for, it's about what you’re willing to give. The universe and the marketplace reward value exchanged, not vague intentions.
Practical steps to achieve this:
1. Set the Frame: Step 2 is where desire meets responsibility. You’ve declared what you want, now declare what you’ll give. Nothing for nothing is a universal law.
2. Ask the Right Questions:
-
“What transformation can you help others achieve?”
-
“What results have you delivered (or can you learn to deliver)?”
-
“What skills, tools, or experiences do you have that solve real problems?”
-
“Who do you want to serve and what do they need most?”
3. Use the Value Exchange Formula: “In exchange for [money goal], I will deliver [value/result] through [method].”
Examples:
“In exchange for $5,000/month, I will teach 10 small business owners how to manage their cash flow and double their profit margins.”
“In exchange for $100,000/year, I will create and run a program that helps high school students master financial literacy.”
Write out:
1. Your amount (from Step 1)…
2. The transformation you offer…
3. How you plan to deliver it…
4. Who you serve…
You must believe that what you offer is worth what you’re asking for, or no one else will. Step 2 isn’t just about the ‘how,’ it’s about personal conviction and contribution.
