Worth It with Janet Lam

A promotion with a raise sounds like an easy yes. But what if the back of the tag says: your evenings, your workouts, and the version of you your family likes being around?

In this episode, I share the method for actually answering "is it worth it," drawing on the price-versus-value lens from my years choosing companies in capital markets and helping founders plan their growth as a business consultant. Most people ask the question and then answer it with the wrong math. Let's fix the math.

You'll hear:

• The difference between the price of a choice and what it's actually worth.
• How to read the back of the tag: writing down what something gives you and what it really costs you in time, energy, health and peace.
• How to keep a yes from quietly turning into resentment once you've made it.

Every episode asks one question: is it worth it?

I spent years in capital markets picking companies, learning to tell the difference between what a stock is trading for and what the company is actually worth. Then I realized I had no system for doing that with my own life.

In this first episode, I share how I went from investment advisor, to business consultant working with founders, to building Worth Management, and why so many people who are winning on paper are getting richer and sicker at the same time.

You'll hear:

• Why markets, and people, so often price panic instead of value.
• The two price tags on every decision: the dollars on the front, and the time, health, energy and peace on the back.
• Why identity is the most expensive thing most of us never think to price.

Every episode asks one question: is it worth it?
