The belief system I grew up with tells me if I pay more for someone to help me they will work harder and produce better results. However, in the past few weeks, that thought has been challenged. I am testing my belief system, to see what the truth really is for me. I am working very hard to make changes to my business so I will produce more revenue. Every time, an employee comes up with a great idea and more work is required I feel as though I need to pay him/her more money for their idea. Does that devalue the job they were doing before they had the idea? Does it create undo competition between co-workers? Exactly, what does this "throwing money at the wolves" really mean? As a young child I can remember giving someone an orange if they would play with me at recess. I think that set me up for a lifetime of false beliefs about the value of our worth. The thought pattern that people are there for me, only if I give them money, is a belief I am glad to lose.

Will someone work twice as hard if you pay them more money?

I recently hired someone to help me with a business project. As the project grew so did her responsibilities. I found myself increasing her salary every time we talked until I stopped and asked myself...will she only continue to put the effort into the project if I keep giving her more money. In my heart I hoped that wasn't true but that age old message "you get what you pay for" was loud and clear in my thoughts.

What is your incentive to do your best work?

This is a very old pattern of mine. That people will only be there only if I give them something of monetary value. I want to change that little voice that says, "people only care about money and won't help you unless you give, give, give". I am trying to come to terms with the reasons, I have willingly given thousands and thousands of dollars away thinking that would solve the problem when in fact, and it only creates more problems. I know I would live a happier life if I could disprove this old belief and truly accept that people care and will work hard whether you give them a penny or a hundred thousand dollars.
