Earl Nightingale & me

No I'm not having an affair.

This guy has a clear cut strategy to determining your worth.

Demand
Ability
Difficulty to replace

Demand - for my services is high. Health is high on the agenda of every politician, business and community right now and more so than it's ever been. Modern day lifestyles have lead to disease from sedentary lifestyles, laziness and the greed of the manufacturing industry bulking every food product full of cheap crap to sell more and reduce costs.
In addition no-one wants to be in pain and if I can give them relief then well that I would say is worth paying for.

Ability - I'm good. I get results and quickly. I could & will be better but that will come with experience and ongoing self-education which I'm passionate about. I love my job and my skillset is high. I am still growing but that will never change. I'll always be striving for more.

Difficulty in replacing me - hmm, good question. There's a few people out there doing similar roles. If I left tomorrow would the practice replace me almost immediately. It would probably take them a couple of weeks to find someone but yes without a doubt. Would my clients replace me. Probably not that easily.

Based on the combination of all these things then I'm probably worth my current rate.
