Challenging limiting beliefs and developing a growth mindset are essential for maximizing earning potential.
Deep dives
Determining what you want and asking for it
Many people in the workforce feel disengaged and undervalued because they lack the confidence to ask for what they want. By identifying what you dislike about your job, creating a list of what you want, and evaluating your priorities, you can establish your non-negotiables when looking for new opportunities. It's crucial to ask for what you want at your current company or find a new one that aligns with your values and goals.
Increasing your earning potential
To get paid what you're worth, you need the confidence to negotiate for a raise or promotion. Clearly communicate your accomplishments, provide supporting data, and highlight the value you bring to the company. Alternatively, consider switching employers, as changing jobs can often result in a 10% or higher pay increase. Being an employee referral can also boost your chances of getting hired and receiving higher compensation.
Securing a job at top companies
While big companies may seem attractive, it's important not to overlook other opportunities based on company size. Finding an environment that suits your preferences and supports your growth is key. One effective way to get hired is through employee referrals, as they often receive priority and endorsement from people within the organization. Crafting a standout resume that highlights objective achievements with data is also crucial to grab recruiters' attention in a short amount of time.
Unlocking your earning potential through mindset
Limiting beliefs can hinder your earning potential, but with a growth mindset, you can overcome them. Question the truthfulness of negative thoughts and reinforce positive beliefs about your worthiness to earn money. Unpack and reevaluate childhood beliefs about money to ensure they align with your current goals. Open yourself to receiving money and abundance, and challenge any self-doubt or negative self-talk that may impact your earning potential.
