How to lower the 'price to pay'

Earn all your desires 10x faster (Formula)
Self-Esteem - "esteem" comes from the word appraisal

Appraisal = estimation & assessment of the value of something or someone

We don't get what we deserve

We get what we THINK we deserve

This is why people pay SO MUCH MORE than they need to in trying to get what they want

You can always find a reason why you're "not ready"

Future you will always be 'more ready'

The 'ready' or 'complete' feeling people seek is impossible to find
In reality it's more of a 'good enough' feeling that determines when we launch, ask, take action

A imaginary calculation of the price we paid in relation to the value of the desire

🔑 This is the formula...

Here is why people overpay for what they want 👇🏼
🧪 The Formula

1) Self Worth
2) Perceived value of the desire

Notice BOTH are a appraisal, a estimate & assessment

People will pay what they BELIEVE something is worth

Pay meaning - spending & investing time, energy, emotions, money

Joe lacks a intimacy & love

He will crave a relationship MORE than Jim

Jim already has some intimacy & love in his life

Getting into a relationship holds MORE value & importance for Joe
When something holds more value & significance

When we stand to gain a lot

What it means to US, our perceived value

Gets PROJECTED onto the price to pay for it

Artificially inflating the price to pay
Joe thinks Mustangs are the greatest thing to ever exist, he is obsessed with them

That doesn't change the price of the mustang

To Joe it's a big deal

To Cam it's not big deal

They value it differently, but the price of the Mustang is still exactly the same
Your goals are exactly the same

When we project, we pay WAY more than is needed because of what it means in value to us

Why do we do this?

It's the 2nd element in the equation

Self-Worth

If Joe BELIEVES he is unworthy, he unconsciously assigns a value to himself
The thing he craves (which will make him feel worthy) Joe assigns a HIGH value to

This discrepancy is the 'price to pay'

If we look at Cam

Cam believes he is worthy

He has a higher self worth (value appraisal)

He believes he can afford more (is worthy)
When Cam looks at the goal he feels WORTHY of it

Because of this there is little to no PROJECTED INFLATION in the price he will have to pay

His worth/value is at or very near the perceived worth/value of the goal

Therefore, all he really needs to do is show up to 'pick it up'
For Cam it's as simple as picking up a cup of coffee

There is no projected baggage

For Joe he doesn't feel WORTHY enough to simply go pick up the coffee

- Joe goes to the gym to be fit enough to look good at the café
- He showers intensely
- He plans how he will say his order
^^ Did Joe need to pay that price to get a coffee?

NO

But he believed he did

He BELIEVED he wasn't worthy of the coffee

🔑 When we feel unworthy of our goals, the goal is seen as a big deal. We project & artificially inflate the value of it, making us pay a bigger price
So in summary there are 2 factors

1) Self Worth - our perceived value & worth

Determining what we can 'afford'

2) Perceived Value of the Desire - what it means TO US

determines perceived value of the goal, which is what we will have to pay to get it

📝 Added Note

There is no ‘real’ value for self worth it is all perception

We unconsciously & consciously estimate it from these sources:

- What we got in the past (what we have been shown we can afford)

- What we’ve earned (approval, emotions, results. Things we’ve earned)
- How others treat us (shows the markets perception of our value)

- Our trajectory (our time/energy investments or expenditures reflecting where we are headed in value)

- Our potential (What we believe we can become in value)
^ all these factors weigh in when ‘appraising’ our self worth

Because they’re mostly perception there is plenty of room for misinterpretation

Which leads to inflation or deflation

Overvalued or undervalued perceptions of self

Inflated egos or Deflated spirits
