Day 8: Your Value & Work — Stop Feeling Worthless, Start Building Your Life

It’s Day 8. We’re diving into one of the biggest reasons we fall into that dark, empty abyss: a sense of worthlessness and purposelessness.

We feel like we have no value to add, no purpose to fulfill. So our lives feel hollow. And even if we have a job, if it doesn’t connect to our soul, that emptiness just grows. We become soulless creatures clocking in and out, trading our time for a paycheck that never quite fills the void.

So how do we fix this?

If you’ve been working with The Energy of Money by Maria Nemeth (as you should be), you’ve already confronted the first principle: Who are you, and what are your true intentions in this life?

That wasn’t a philosophical exercise. It was your blueprint. By now, you should be actively curating a life that fulfills that intention. If you’re not, you’re lying to yourself, and the emptiness is the price.

Let’s get raw. I need you to be brutally honest with yourself today.

What is the one thing you enjoy doing so much that it doesn’t even feel like work? That thing you get lost in. That quirky little talent. That topic you can talk about for hours.

Got it? Good. Now, stop dismissing it as “just a hobby.”

Your mission is to research how to monetize it. Right now.

The evidence is everywhere. A woman who loved baking built a $100 million industry. Someone else selling candy built a legacy. The list is endless.

Your Guide to Unlocking Your Value:

1. The Value Audit:

  • Grab your Mind Hacking Journal. Answer this: “What is the one skill or activity that makes me feel most alive? What problem do I naturally enjoy solving for others?” This is your core value.

2. The “YouTube University” Phase:

  • You have zero excuses. The world’s knowledge is free. Start learning everything about your chosen area. Not to get a degree, but to gain competence. We learn by doing, not just by studying.

3. The Monetization Ladder:

  • Start small. Don’t quit your job. How can you offer your value in the smallest way?
    • Offer a service for a low fee to build testimonials.
    • Create a simple product.
    • Sell your knowledge as a consultant.
    • Learn financial, managerial, and corporate accounting from Tony Bell on YouTube.
  • The goal is to start doing the thing intentionally, day by day. Skill is built through action.

4. If You Can’t Find “It,” You ARE “It”:

  • If you feel you have no “passion,” then you are the product. Your brand is your story, your experiences, your unique perspective. Sell that. Coach others based on the battles you’ve won. Your quirks are your superpower.

A crucial note: Your intention is sacred.

  • If your goal is to be a phenomenal stay-at-home parent raising incredible children, consider aligning with a partner who values that, or equip yourself financially to make it happen. That is valuable work.
  • If you’re an employee, strive to find a company and a role you are genuinely proud of. Your energy matters.
  • If you’re neurodivergent —especially autistic—your system is different. Your guide is to automate, systematize, and protect your energy at all costs. Strive to create a work structure that avoids chronic burnout and shutdowns. Your unique mind is your advantage, not a drawback.

Yes, it will be hard the first few days. Not because the task is hard, but because you’re fighting against years of built-up systems and beliefs that told you it wasn’t possible.

Your only job is to convince yourself that it is. Once you do, there will be no stopping you.

Stop waiting for permission to be valuable. You already are. Now go build the proof.
