Default Intrinsic value?

Steve mentioned that one way to increase your income is to share your intrinsic value (i.e., what is special about you/inside you) with the world, thereby possibly creating social value that can be rewarded with/exchanged for money (if I understand correctly). So now I'm wondering how people can tap into their intrinsic value. I imagine some people just "know" what that is. But some people might not be so sure what that is, how to find it in themselves, which route to take if there is more than one thing to share, etc.

For instance, in college, I obtained special knowledge in a subfield of education (and afterward, got experience) that is valuable and that I am skilled enough to share...but lately, people have noticed (and commented on) a special quality about me as a person which I think could also be of some value in helping others get through difficult situations, though I wasn't even aware of this in myself...but it's something that developed as I went through difficult situations myself..I didn't learn it in college.

So my questions are: How do people know which of their intrinsic values they should focus on sharing with the world? And how can people tap into other intrinsic values they may not even be aware they have? Has Steve written any articles on this? (I searched but couldn't find any like that, though his article on finding your life purpose is on the right track.) Is there a step-by-step process to guide us in the study and releasing of our intrinsic value to the world?
