The Law of Compensation is a universal principle that governs how much money, opportunity, and influence you earn.
It states that your compensation is determined by:
- The need for what you do
- Your ability to do it
- The difficulty in replacing you
You can’t control market demand (#1), but you have full control over your ability and your irreplaceability. Here’s how to leverage this law and increase your value:
1. Master Your Craft
Income follows excellence.
- Learn daily
- Practice with intensity
- Track your progress religiously

Discipline is the ultimate performance enhancer.
- Eliminate distractions
- Build unshakable routines
- Follow through even when it’s hard

3. Stack Rare and Valuable Skills
You become irreplaceable when you combine uncommon talents.
Examples:
- Trainer + Sales
- Engineer + Public Speaking
- Writer + Digital Strategy
Build a “skill stack” that makes you unique. The market rewards those who bring more to the table than anyone else.
4. Solve Bigger Problems
Low-value problems = low pay.
High-value problems = high compensation.
Ask yourself:
- What painful, urgent problem can I solve that’s worth $10,000 or more?
- Who’s desperate for that solution?
People don’t pay for your time. They pay for results.
5. Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
Growth is always found beyond resistance.
- Take on more than you think you can handle
- Embrace the hard stuff
- Stretch your skills, mind, and capacity
Every uncomfortable moment builds a layer of value that compounds over time.
