20 | Why It’s Not About Proving Yourself To Make More Money

It’s common to hear someone say that they’re going to “prove themselves” in a new job before they ask for more money. Or that they need to “prove themselves” when starting a business before getting more clients or charging more for their services. I hear this from my clients all the time. They think they need to prove themselves to be worthy of more money. I want you to understand you do not need to prove yourself before you make more money.
