Know What Your Worth Is! | Stephen A Smith

There's real losses and then there's projected losses. So when you're paying attention to all of these things, all of a sudden it empowers you because now you have an idea of what your worth is. And it leaves you in a position of being able to make better decisions about what's best for you because you're able to depersonalize things. My problem back in the day was that I personalized. I got caught up in, I deserve this. I worked 330 plus days out of the year. You got guys getting paid more than me. They work 100 days out of the year. They work 20 days out of the year. You got emotional. Yeah, and you got emotional. You don't even know the numbers. The numbers are always arguable. They can fudge it. But the point is you have a ballpark idea of what those numbers are and what your worth is. And by virtue of that, when they come to you, you're able to negotiate.
