I have been struggling with this myself lately and finally found a solution.
I used to think that to be successful financially one needs to provide tremendous value. So I did really valuable things but wasn't too impressed with the results.
Then I was informed that it's the value as perceived by the person who's receiving the value. THat worked ok for a while too, but just didn't explain some situations.
Then, just recently I realized that value means nothing. You get what you EXPECT and BELIEVE YOU DESERVE. It is only our belief that we must provide value that creates that reality.
The REAL reality is that neither WE nor the OTHER PERSON or PERSONS receiving the "value" we produce has any way of actually judging the value of that value, if that makes any sense to you. The only entity that knows the true value of something is the "universe" / "God" or whatever you want to call it. For example, I might think that this post telling you this might be worth $1, and you might read it and you might think it's so cool that you think it's worth at least $10 to you, so by "normal rules" we would take a guess that I might get somewhere between $1-$10 worth of value from this post at some point in my life. However, some kid could logon to this forum, and read this post and my words could have such a giant change in his thinking that 6 months from now he creates a project that becomes the next Google or Facebook, or something greater.
It's not an easy concept to explain, but I finally feel so much more free having figured this out. It's all about our beliefs.
