Thank you for adhering to these four very simple rules.
According to a recent study conducted by the Institute for
Women's Policy Research, if current wage patterns continue, a
25-year-old woman, working full time, will earn $523,000 less
than the average 25-year-old man by the time they both retire
at 65.
Want to get paid what you're worth? Then consider these tips:
1. Banish the romance myth about money. If you haven't figured
it out by now, prince charming isn't coming. Further, money is
not the "necessary evil" that we have been taught. It is a
currency of exchange in our society. You provide a service and
in return you receive money. It's that simple. Get comfortable
with this concept of money.
2. Develop a career versus a job mentality. Develop a career
plan, and write it down. A written plan will help you make
better choices. Plus, a planned approach will help you avoid the
appearance of job-hopping. And, should you decide to exit the
workforce (for family or other obligations), it will be easier
to get back on track when you decide to do so. Remember, you can
always adjust your plan.
3. Develop a sense of your own worth. Noble poverty is not a
virtue unless you are Mother Theresa. Take a lesson from the
L'Oreal commercial where the woman says, "I'm worth it." You
are. Repeat that to yourself every day as many time as you can.
Do this until you believe it. You will be amazed at the
prosperity that unfolds for you.
4. Adopt a "yes and" mentality. Lose the "either/ or" attitude
that has been drilled into your head. That's the attitude that
tells you "I can have a stressful job and make lots of money" or
"I can have a job making a difference in the world." Repeat
after me: "I can do both." Change your model to "I can have a
vital career (i.e. interesting work for excellent pay) and a
vital family life."
5. Think big. You have to make money, so why not make top dollar
in your chosen profession or field? It all starts with you. You
have to create your own reality. Tell yourself you're going to
make six figures or more. Write it down. Say it out loud.
Share it with a friend. Then see what happens. The universe
has a way of helping fulfill our strongest intentions.
Only you can change your mindset and attitude about earning what
you're worth. What are you waiting for?
