Want to get paid more? – Create it to see it!

Everything we create in our physical world is a result of mindset, heartset, energy and action.

For simplicity’s sake, I’ll only be talking about mindset and action in this article. Energy continuously flows in and out of mindset and action, so it’s intrinsically covered, and I’ve written about it in other places. Heartset is another huge topic, which deserves its own article (soon).

Let’s start with…

MINDSET:

Everything stars in your mind. Anything that’s ever been invented, from the wheel to your laptop, started in someone’s mind, which picked it up from Consciousness. The mind envisioned or visualized it. All inventors imagine their invention before they “materialize” it.

What you can achieve, depends on your mindset, which impacts your self-image, your self-esteem, your confidence level, your negotiation power… everything! Without the right mindset, you stay stuck… or it’s just really hard to move ahead and get what you want.

There are many great mindset related tools and techniques. One of them is visualization.

Visualization is a powerful tool that Olympic athletes have used for decades to win their gold medals. Visualization bridges the gap between what we have and what we want, between where we are and where we want to be. It changes our subconscious filters. We are exposed to 40 bn bits of information per second, but our subconscious only lets in 2,000 bits because this is as much as we can process at any given time. And what it lets in, depends on our filters, which are determined by our subconscious programming. We can change these filters through conscious visualization, to which we add the feeling of “we already achieved or have the object of our visualization.” The secret is in the combination of our imagination and the emotion or feeling we will experience when we have manifested what we want.

As you know, our mindset and what we believe ourselves capable of depends on our beliefs, both conscious and subconscious.

So the question is: Do you believe, both consciously and subconsciously, that you deserve the compensation you want? And that you can achieve it? If not, and before you even take any action towards negotiating it, start working on your mindset. Bring up your inner income thermostat.

Simple mindset exercises often can do the trick. But sometimes, you may need to dig a little deeper and work on your mindset more consistently to make that shift happen.

Everything is created twice: in our endlessly powerful minds and through our…

…ACTIONS:

We live in a material world, and as spiritual beings in human (physical) form, we are meant to use this material world in the best way possible to create positive change and outcomes for self and others. This includes our financial wellbeing and the possibility to enjoy the lifestyle we want. While it may not be in your plans to become a billionaire or to turn your house into an art museum, I think we can agree that it feels good to get decently paid for the work we deliver, all the precious hours of our lives we dedicate to our jobs and businesses; to get recognized for our expertise, wisdom and brilliance, and to make our career work for us rather than the other way around.

And this requires action. Action as in:

·         Scheduling a meeting

·         Determining your “ask”

·         Preparing for the meeting

·         Showing up for the meeting

·         Following up.

But it’s not only the action itself that counts. It’s about the HOW you go about it.
