 I belong to a killer online networking group, full of top notch PR entrepreneurs from across the country, and this clip from"Exhale"onAspire TVwas shared today to a chorus of "amens" and virtual high-fives.I've lost track of the number of times I've watched it. There's a whole lot of goodness packed into aminute and 23 seconds.Melinda Emerson, the Small Biz Lady and author of "Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months" brings the truth that every entrepreneur needs to hear: Know your worthand own it.Among the knowledge she drops in the segment:"Every time I have cut my rate, people treated me like I cut my rate.""LeBron James is an employee, but he knows how much his jersey is worth.You need to know how much your jersey is worth to make sure you're getting paid appropriately."
