Tell Yourself A Better Story

I am sure you have been told in your life, that you cannot have it all.

You cannot both make really good money, and have a position you abso-freaking-lutely adore with a ton of purpose…

You cannot take a step up in your career, and have a happy, healthy home life….

You cannot negotiate a really good salary, and have your boss think you are kind and humble…

You cannot have a part-time position, and expect to be paid well…

Etc – you get the drift. 

********

And yet… my clients show every single day that it IS possible to have it all. 

They absolutely love their roles (we settle for nothing less than ubercorn-level!) and they get paid, erm, VERY WELL.

Their employers often think more of them precisely BECAUSE they negotiate well for themselves….

They comment on how their entire lives have levelled up, personal relationships improved, more time for pursuits outside of work and self-care precisely because they negotiated a more responsible role…

They negotiate for flexible, part-time, WFH positions and on last count, the average salary increase they negotiated was 95.2%…

********

You see, people always live up to the expectations they have of themselves. 

So if you tell yourself (or if you buy into other people’s stories) that something cannot be done…

If you think something is out of reach for you…

If you think something is impossible… 

You won’t even try. Or you will half-ass it. 

So do yourself a favour and tell yourself a better story.
