Is What You Do Valuable?

How do you know if what you do is valuable? The problem is, value is subjective. What one person finds valuable, someone else views as worthless. You could answer the question by saying that as long as you believe in what you are doing, block out everything else. But does that pay the bills?

There is a much easier answer. Is someone willing to pay out of his or her own pocket for that thing you do? Yes? Then 'that thing you do' provides exactly that much value to that person. This is called the Free Market. If you are able to make a living based on individuals willingly giving you money for what you do, you can be 100% certain as to how much value your actions have.
