Quotes:

“A lot of people say ‘Oh, I have to do this.’ The truth is you get to. Think about that. You get to do this. You get to build up your financial freedom. You get to build a career that you’re going to be so proud of. You get to be able to do those things so that when you’re living a longer life, you’re living it the way you want to on your terms. You get to.”

“How you choose to brand yourself is going to determine your value. So if you’re never asking for more money, that translates into, you’re not creating any new value. That’s really important. Aren’t you learning and growing on your job every single day? Isn’t that creating more value for your company every single day? That means that you should get paid more over time to reflect that.”
