Unlike what a lot of Africans seem to think, money doesn’t define value. Yes, I believe so :). Why is that?
Money is often seen as the ultimate measure of success and wealth in the African society. However, the truth is that money is not what truly defines our worth or value as individuals. The value we offer to others through the services and products we provide is what truly matters.
In this blog post, we will explore the idea that money doesn’t define our value, and that it is the service and products we offer that truly make a difference.
This post is continuation of a post I previously did.
Money is just a tool
Firstly, it is important to recognize that money is simply a tool that we use to exchange value. It is a medium of exchange that allows us to trade goods and services with one another.
While money can certainly be helpful in allowing us to obtain the things we need and want, it is not the be-all and end-all of our worth. Our true value lies in the skills and abilities we possess. It also lies in the ways that we use those skills to benefit others.
What does have value?
When we offer a service or product to someone, we are providing them with something that has value. Whether it is a physical item like a piece of furniture or a digital service like graphic design, we are providing something that someone else needs or wants.
The value of that service or product is determined by the quality of what we offer, and the extent to which it meets the needs of the person receiving it.
How is value measured?
Moreover, the value of what we offer can be measured in a number of different ways.
Imagine a painter offering a service of painting someone’s house. The value of that service might be measured in terms of the quality of the work, the speed and efficiency with which it is completed, and the overall satisfaction of the customer.
In this way, the value of the service is not dependent on the amount of money that changes hands, but rather on the quality and effectiveness of the service provided.
Similarly, a company might offer a product that is designed to solve a particular problem or meet a particular need. The value of that product might be measured in terms of its functionality, durability, and overall effectiveness.
Again, the value of the product is not dependent on the price that is paid for it, but rather on its ability to meet the needs of the customer. In some cases, it will be assessed on the capacity to over deliver.
Overall, it is not just Lorraine saying that…
Money doesn’t define value
Please take the time to listen to this video, which explains why money can be perceived as value adding.

In conclusion, it is clear that money does not define our true value. While money can certainly be helpful in allowing us to obtain the things we need and want, it is the services and products we offer that truly make a difference.
The value of what we offer is determined by the quality and effectiveness of our work, and the extent to which it meets the needs of the people we serve.
