Add Value at Every Turn
By Harrison Barnes

At the start of my career in the employment industry, I worked primarily with attorneys who’d come from some of America’s top law firms, and who were seeking the highest-paying jobs at the best firms.

Never Focus on the Money: Focus on Your Higher Purpose and Contribution
By Harrison Barnes

People fail far too often in the working world because they focus too much on the money they earn at their jobs. The money you are paid is generally commensurate with your contribution to something more important, more meaningful, and much larger than yourself.

Being energized by your work brings more and better work your way and ultimately leads to greater earnings. The money is a by-product of your contribution to your job.

The first time I had done this, I had received a very stern lecture about using Jesus' name in vain. The next time I was sent home and my mother was spoken to. The final time this happened I was banned.
