Do You Know Your Value? Then Add Tax.

You Are Not on Clearance

In a world constantly trying to put a price tag on your worth through likes, salary slips, followers, or social status it's easy to forget that you are the brand, not the bargain. The phrase "Know your value, then add tax" isn’t just a cute caption it’s a bold mindset. It means owning your worth unapologetically, and then going beyond, adding intentional interest, growth, and unshakable confidence.

Step 1: Know Your Value

Before you can add tax, you must first determine your base worth. this means:self-awareness: What are your strengths? What makes you you? Your values, skills, experiences, and scars all shape your internal currency.

Boundaries: People treat you the way you allow them to. Know what you will and won’t tolerate. Boundaries aren’t walls they’re price tags that say, "This is premium."

Growth Mindset: Value isn't static. Invest in learning, healing, and evolving. But the more you develop, the richer you get. 

 Write a “Personal Value Resume for yourself.” List your skills, talents, past achievements, challenges you’ve overcome, and unique qualities. You’ll be shocked by how valuable you really are.

Step 2: Then Add Tax

The “tax” is the extra. Your life's expectations are the ones that never change

Confidence: Not arrogance, but self-assurance. Walk like you’ve got 10 ancestors behind you.

Excellence: Do more than expected. Show up early. Speak with purpose. Be unforgettable.

Self-Respect: Don't settle. Don’t shrink. Don’t apologize for leveling up.

Real Talk: Adding tax means raising the standard in your relationships, goals, and the way you carry yourself. If they can’t afford the upgraded version of you, they’re not your client. Period.

 Practical Actions

Audit your circle: Are they adding value or draining you?The discount store is not a place for high-value individuals to shop. 

Stop over-explaining: A luxury item doesn’t need to justify its price. Let your results speak.

Charge for your brilliance: In your career or business, stop undervaluing your time, energy, and intellect.

Use the language of recognition: Switch from "I'm just." to "Am” without diminishing. Don't minimize. 

Reminder: You Are the Investment

You are not here to be liked by everyone you’re here to live fully, fiercely, and fearlessly. Knowing your value isn't arrogance. It's awareness. Adding tax isn’t pride. It's protection.

You weren’t born to blend in. You were born to stand out, shine bright, and shift atmospheres. The energy in a room should be transformed upon entering.' Not because you said too much, it's because of who you are. 

Final Word: Be the Limited Edition

They can mimic your actions, but they are unable to replicate the effects of your magic. Know your value, then add tax. Because royalty never goes on sale.
