Value created means it has to be valuable to others. There is no, AFAIK, objective measure of what is of value to everyone, all the time, everywhere. It's just what people consider to be valuable. Steve, IMO, believes that value created should be the highest possible value for the greatest number of people, and this, for him, translates into helping others improve their consciousness.

However, even cocaine or heroin are of value to some people, especially considering they're willing to part with hundreds of dollars and sometimes the wrath of their family and friends to enjoy it. Value is just what other people consider to be of value. The creating value aspect involves finding something that others consider valuable and that you have fun at and a unique talent for creating, and hopefully it is in a way that is the best for all involved.

Anything anybody else wants or likes is of value to them. Garbage pickup is a valuable service. If I make someone laugh, I have given them something they may consider to be of value. I may or may not be able to monetize laughter, but I'm at least creating value.

Value exists only in relation to a consciousness. To a rock, my iPod is of no value, but to me, it is, and I traded many hours of my life's effort to acquire it.
