How to Get Paid Your Worth

So check this out; I'm in my early twenties, driven, ambitious, and ready to change the world. Perhaps, you can relate. 

I applied to this leadership position, nailed the interview, and got offered $130K. Mind you, I didn't have a single person in my circle who had ever made 6 figures at the time (the more reason you need to surround yourself with people who have achieved more than you).

As an immigrant, my parents worked odd jobs earning $10-14 an hour, so little ole me being the first in my family, and in my circle of friends, to make 130K at the time was a pretty effing deal, right?

You can imagine my excitement sharing this news with my parents…beaming with pride and a sense of accomplishment. And I thought, man, I've made it! 

Fast forward weeks later, I started the job and learned my department was responsible for $1.3 Billion.

My job was to ensure we not only strengthened this revenue but also increased it. Our minimum percent increase goal was 5%.

Now let me do the math for you. 5% of $1.3B is $65 Million. By the time I was leaving, we had increased the revenue by 17%, which is $221 Million.

As I climbed the corporate ladder and built my own business, I learned how extremely underpaid I was.

What I thought was an irresistible offer was actually an incredibly low-ball offer.

You see, I hadn't mastered the art of the interview at the time. I didn't know the right questions to ask to really learn about the job and how much I should be paid. I was just happy that I would be making more than before, except that was the wrong thinking.

And I know you've probably accepted a job offer paying you slightly more than you were making, but that is a Huge mistake. 

I've come to learn how to truly assess your economic value, which boils down to how you help a company generate revenue and/or how you help them save money.

Now determining your economic value goes 8 layers deep, which I teach in depth in my New Course- Career Oasis.

The company offered me what they wanted to pay me. But I was too naïve to negotiate a better offer that truly matched the position and my skill set. If I could go back in time, knowing what I know now, I would have negotiated a massive increase, but at the time, it seemed unreal to even be making 6-figures in my twenties.

This is happening to you right now. You don't know what you don't know.

You think you've got a great job making great money, but you are NOT even getting paid your worth. 

Only 1% of wildly successful professionals come to learn this.

If you are not taught how to navigate your career and how money moves in the system, you will leave hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table.

If you want to earn at least 32% more than you are making, I don't care what you are earning now. We will look at your skill set, experience, and, most importantly, the JOB you are doing, determine exactly how much you should be making, and teach you how to secure that. 

My client Kofi earned a 62% increase in his salary. You can read his testimony and others on the website.

Right now, you can get the Contributor Package and access all the training and worksheets to increase your salary in 90 days or less.

Alternatively, you can enroll in the Leader Package and receive more personalized, one-on-one support from me to take your career and salary to the pinnacle point possible.
