Money talks, but what happens when you and your employee speak different languages about compensation? This candid discussion tackles one of the most common yet challenging workplace dynamics: the employee who believes they're worth more than their employer does.

The episode opens by addressing a crucial misconception, particularly among younger workers – the belief that increased pay should come before increased performance. As a five-time entrepreneur, I share my perspective on how value truly works in the marketplace. It's not about working harder; it's about producing measurable results that increase your market value. The wisdom of Jim Rohn echoes throughout: "Work harder on yourself than you do on your job." This fundamental principle serves as the foundation for both employees seeking advancement and employers looking to develop top talent.

For business owners facing this compensation challenge, I provide a practical framework to resolve the tension.
