Know Your Worth: How to Get Paid What You Deserve

In conjunction with the 5th a n n i v e r s a r y o f t h e L i l l y Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, I published an article for The Shriver Report on five barriers women face when negotiating salaries.

What I discovered was that this sensitive topic resonated with many women around the world. One person in particular was Glamour.com writer, Tanya Edwards, who also wrote a follow up segment to my original article. Tanya specifically inquired about how to ask for a raise when you’re about to be promoted into management and for tips on how to effectively negotiate the tools you’ll need to succeed like an office, assistant, etc.  I shared with her key information that is important for anyone that is ready to go to the next level and wants to succeed.  (Read my answers here.) In my experience as a coach working with many people who are building their business on the side, I’ve learned that traditional thinking about your self-worth, and deservingness can hold you back from getting what you truly desire—on your job and in your business. The points mentioned in the article aren’t just a list of barriers… they are a representation of the glass ceiling that we often inflict upon ourselves. Although I was specifically discussing negotiating salaries, many of the barriers are prevalent for women entrepreneurs as well.  Oftentimes, women hold themselves back from pursuing major opportunities because of societal expectations and ideologies that were imposed upon us at a young age. You may have been raised to be more reserved and consider the needs of others. You may have a innate desire to be accepted by all. However, if you are to pursue your dreams, it requires you to go against the grain. It requires you to step up and be who you were meant to be. Become a trailblazer that inspires and empowers others. What it all boils down to is self-worth, empowering knowledge and the confidence to go after what you truly want and deserve.

You are worthy.

You are worthy of a successful business that generates massive income. You are worthy to launch your own business, create products and share your gifts and talents with the world in a major way. I encourage you today to start working on building yourself up, shifting your belief system to one that agrees with you being wealthy and successful with multiple streams of income. One way you can do this is by making over your mornings. Set aside times in the morning to meditate on ideas and ways to increase your income. My clients use Mondays as Money Manifestation Day to actively think of ways to make more money in their business. During this time, go over your numbers. Check your income and outflow. Focus and think of how and when can you bring in more income. Money loves attention. It is completely impossible to positively think about money all day and not attract it into your life. Whether you’re looking to get a raise, negotiate pay on a new job offer or raise the prices for your services in your business, create value in your products and services that demand a higher investment. Know that you are worth it and ask for what you want.
