Even Experts Get This Wrong: Your Values vs. What You Value 🎯
Most people—even seasoned professionals—confuse these two. But they’re not the same.
👉🏾 Your values are the guiding principles that define who you are.
👉🏾 What you value are the priorities that drive your choices at any given time.
Here’s my take:
✅ I value learning, teaching, and prosperity—they fuel my purpose and ambitions.
✅ But my values are innovative problem-solving, being dependable, and delighting customers - these shape how I operate, no matter what I pursue.
The danger? ⚠️ If what you value today doesn’t align with your values, you risk making decisions that feel empty or unsustainable.
🔹 Example: You might value financial success, but if integrity is a core value, you won’t cut corners to get there.
🔹 Another: You may value work-life balance today, but if excellence is a core value, you won’t settle for mediocrity.
💡 Ask yourself: Are you building a life around your values, or just what you value in the moment?
Let’s talk—what’s one core value that shapes the way you do business? Drop it below! ⬇️
One of the best ways to see what you value, is to look at the things around you at home and the office. Is it books, gadgets, books, family photos? 😊
