Want to impress your boss? In this episode, I share 5 simple but powerful things you can do at work to position yourself for success, specific examples of what's worked in my career, and the story of the time I told a potential employer that I was unqualified… and why he hired me anyway.

(spoiler alert: it's because of 1 of the 5 habits!)

The truth is: you can’t just waltz into a review meeting, ask for a raise, and assume it’s going to be given to you - it takes some intentional work in the months leading up to your ask; and that’s what we’re digging into today.

Let's dive in!

Do you feel like you’re constantly working hard, but your pay isn’t growing to reflect your efforts?

Or maybe you’ve prioritized cutting expenses and, no matter how much you scale back your spending, it’s still difficult to make ends meet. 

Or maybe you’ve been in a comfortable job for a few years, and just haven’t given much thought to a pay increase.

Whether increased pay is something you needed yesterday, or it’s something you realize you simply haven’t prioritized enough in your life yet, navigating a pay increase can be overwhelming and intimidating.

Today we’re tackling 3 decisions you’ll need to make in order to be ready to secure a pay increase.

- We’ll walk through your Target Number

- We’ll figure out whether you should stay in your current job or find a new one, and

- We’ll decide on your Walk-Away number - the absolute minimum amount you’re willing to accept before walking away from a job or potential opportunity. 

Once you’ve made these 3 key decisions, you’ll leave with an action plan on how exactly to go about landing the pay you want, and the evidence you need to convince even the most doubting of managers that you’re worth it.

Let's get to it!
