Think about this

You Don’t Get Paid for Showing Up. You Get Paid for Solving a Company’s Pain Point. Some people think a salary is a reward for warming a chair.

Wrong.

A salary is not for your presence. It’s for your impact.

If all you do is show up every morning, drink tea, chat with colleagues, and wait for 5PM—you’re not earning. You’re stealing.

Employers pay because something is broken and they need you to fix it.

A company is losing money; they hire an accountant to plug the leaks.

A brand is invisible online → they hire a digital marketer to drive attention.

A CEO is drowning in admin → they hire a VA to free up their time.

No one cares that you have 3 degrees. No one cares that you’ve “been here for 10 years.”

What matters is: what problems do you solve today, and how quickly can you solve them?

When you stop solving problems, your paycheck stops too.

And when that happens, you’ll realize the office was never your safe place. The problems you can solve are.

So stop obsessing about your job title.

Start obsessing about your usefulness.

The most valuable employees are not the most educated.

They are the most useful.
