It's Worth Your Wage Announcement!

 



Welcome to It's Worth Your Wage!

Hi, I’m Todd Matherne. After overcoming numerous obstacles, I created this blog to share the steps I've taken towards a fresh start. Over a decade ago, I found myself starting from scratch, but I used that experience to change my direction and help others navigate their own challenges.


Inspired by Stoicism, I believe while we can’t control external events, we can control our responses to them. This principle has been central to my personal growth journey. By understanding that failure is just a symptom and focusing on our reactions, we can transform our lives.

Through this blog, I aim to guide you through your own chapters of life—whether you're just beginning or well into your journey. These posts are designed to help you progress through each chapter and prepare for the next. Join me as we grow together and make each step worth your wage!

Stay tuned for our upcoming blog posts where we’ll explore thirteen key success principles.

**1. Start Where You Are! **  

Every journey begins with a single step. Embrace your current position and resources, no matter how limited they may seem. Use them as a launchpad to reach higher goals.


**2. Use All Resources Around You**  

Maximize the potential of the tools, networks, and skills at your disposal. Effective resource utilization can propel you towards greater achievements and efficiency.


**3. Seek Ignored Opportunities**  

Identify and explore opportunities that others might overlook. Often, these hidden avenues can lead to innovative solutions and unique advantages.


**4. Build the Model Then Pitch**  

Develop a solid plan or model before presenting your ideas. A well-thought-out proposal demonstrates your preparedness and increases your chances of success.


**5. Promote Others**  

Support and elevate those around you. Promoting others not only fosters a positive work environment but also builds a network of allies who are likely to reciprocate.


**6. Hustle Hard**  

Commit to putting in the necessary effort and time. Persistent hard work and dedication are crucial in achieving and surpassing your professional goals.


**7. Seek Advisory**  

Consult with mentors and experts. Their guidance can provide valuable insights and help navigate challenges more effectively.


**8. Make Yourself Known**  

Build your personal brand and ensure your contributions are visible. Being known for your skills and achievements can open doors to new opportunities.


**9. Pick Up the Phone**  

Don’t rely solely on emails and messages. Direct communication through calls can often resolve issues more quickly and build stronger relationships.


**10. Stay Hyperaware**  

Remain vigilant about industry trends, market shifts, and internal dynamics. Staying informed helps you adapt and seize opportunities promptly.


**11. Know Your Worth**  

Understand and recognize the value you bring to the table. Confidence in your worth can drive better negotiations and career advancements.


**12. Be Grateful**  

Express appreciation for your achievements and the support you receive. Gratitude fosters a positive mindset and strengthens professional relationships.


**13. Journal Success and Failure**  

Document your achievements and setbacks. Reflecting on both successes and failures provides insights for growth and improvement.


*** Conclusion ***

Incorporating these principles into your professional life ensures that your efforts are not only recognized but also rewarded. Embrace each principle and witness how they enhance your career satisfaction and overall success.
