Value is anything you do that makes someone else’s life happier, easier, or more profitable. Creating value on the other hand means doing something to meet a need, filling a void, proffering solution to problems, or improving the way a good or service is being offered. Creating value makes you valuable, successful, and influential. Here are some tips on how to create value:
THE GOD FACTOR:
You need God if you will create value. The presence of God is
what gives meaning to life, if He is not with us we are doomed. The secret to
the success of men like Abraham, Joshua, Gideon, etc. was God’s presence. They
understood the need for God, submitted themselves to Him and God gave them
strength and courage. It is not enough to run after our dreams and aspirations
we must run after and seek God. Nothing can be done without God, without Him
your life has no meaning. With God, all things are possible, with Him we can do
all things. …With God all things are possible. Matthew 19:261.
DISCOVER AND PURSUE PURPOSE:
Men and women who become successful and influential as a result of creating value were those who discovered and pursued their purpose. When you walk in purpose, it is easier to add value to the lives of other people. Discovering your purpose is finding the exact way to impact the world. You may never be able to meet a need if you have not discovered your purpose. Purpose gives direction to your life.
“The two most important days in your life are; the day you were born and the day you find out why you were born”
2. BUILD YOUR SELF-ESTEEM
Self-esteem is the opinion you have about yourself and the value you place on yourself. It is having the right sense of value about oneself. Factors like your bank account details, your job status, how much you weigh, etc. God created every man with a purpose. Before you were ever born, He established your real worth, by choosing you and ultimately by dying for you. If you will ever create lasting value, you must make a decision to leave behind your feelings of worthlessness and embrace your true worth in God. Your self-esteem is secure when it is based on the opinion of your creator.

1. HAVE A PERSONAL DEFINITION
What is people’s perception of you? Do they know exactly what you stand for? Define yourself: what you do and why you do them. Have a mission statement for your life, what problems can you solve? What skills do you have? All these will help you if you want to create lasting value on people and the world at large.

3. BUILD COMPETENCE
Building competence is
like daily cleaning of your room. If you stop cleaning, what do you think will
happen? Dirt will accumulate. To create value, there is a need for improvement,
improving your ability to perform; your knowledge, skills, relationships, etc.
Competence doesn’t just spring up in a day, it is built over time. Building
competence boosts your confidence. Anonymous.

your competence in your key result areas “_Brian Tracy

BE
DELIBERATE ABOUT YOUR PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE:

Amir Khan in the movie ‘3 Idiots’ said:
“seek excellence and success will follow you pants down”.
One thing the world
has always been known for is her quest for excellence, even though the world is
never passionate about God and religion, she will always bow for excellence.
The world today celebrates and idolizes men like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Aliko Dangote, Lionel Messi, Cristiano
Ronaldo etc. not because of their religious affiliations or color but just
for their excellence. The Holy Scriptures gave us examples of men like Joseph, David, Daniel, Apostle Paul,
etc. who pursued excellence in the purpose of God for their lives, met a need,
and proffer solutions to problems in their time (Gen. 45:5,7, Dan. 5:12). When
you are in pursuit of excellence you don’t mingle with mediocre who always want
to maintain the status quo, to excellence is a dangerous risk to take. Do
you know where an excellent man is? Kings are looking for him; he is not meant
to dwell with mediocre (Prov. 22:29 Paraphrased)
5.
DON’T
PURSUE MONEY
If you want to make money don’t pursue money, look for people’s problems, a proffer solution to it and money will definitely come. People who pursue money always end up frustrated. Make people happy, meet a need, proffer solution to their problems, and see how rich you’ll become.

As the world grows daily in sophistication and complexity, an excellent man who is consistent in creating value: meeting a need or proffering solution to problems remains the key to unlock this generation, and bring men to their kneels for Jesus. Your success as a man can only be measured by how much value you have created. Don’t look for ways to receive from people, be a man that gives, change your mindset, create value, and see how the result will transform your life and the world.
