I have started different businesses throughout the years- from agribusiness to networking to retail to direct selling. I’ve sold clothes, accessories, beauty products, pillows, herbal supplements, real estate and articles. Now I am into financial distribution business.

A lot of people don’t like selling. I don’t like selling. But what most people do not realize is that we are all selling. And we are selling all the time. The moment we write our resume, we make a marketing tool to sell our skills, talents, capabilities and personalities. When we apply for a job, we are advertising ourselves. We dress up for the interview, prepare our sales pitch and convince the interviewee that we are the best candidate for the job. When we accept a job we are sold, per kilo and per hour. The company we work for dictates our price and determines the kind of life we live. To get ahead, we have to increase our value to the company. We need to promote our selves and prove to the bosses that we are worth more than what we are getting.

Not everybody can become an entrepreneur but we are all in sales, a lot of people just don’t realize it yet. Now check your tag price, make sure you are NOT short selling your most important commodity-yourself. Are you being paid what you are worth?
