Believing in a Better Lifestyle
How many of you have ever thought about the link between
believing in yourself, and getting a good income? You would
think that your income is based entirely on your skills,
wouldn't you. Well, we know how true that one is. So what
does play a part in deciding what you are worth in money
terms per year? There's no denying that there are a lot of factors involved
in setting a salary, for example, but did you know that in
Australia there are about 10 times more applicants for a
$25,000 job than there are for one at $50,000? One reason,
I believe, is that a lot of people just don't believe that
they're worth that much, and so, even if they get the
courage up to ask for the job description, they talk
themselves against ever applying for it. I recently saw
this where I work, when a position at just over $30,000 got
a literal flood of enquiries - it was well over 50. You
know how many actually put the application in? Only 6.
Seriously. It wasn't as though the job description was
excessively difficult either. The main thing that put
people off was that they had to be prepared to get in a car
and travel around the region occasionally. How hard is
that? Especially considering a large part of the local
population commute for 1 1/2 hours to the nearest city for
work... On a personal level, I used to be in one of those $25,000
jobs. With a Uni degree, and Honours, I thought I was lucky
to get it considering the high level of unemployment
locally. I sold the company on how much I had to offer.
They took me up on it. Then they pushed the envelope, and
got even more. Bargain rates! I filled 3 job descriptions,
all on my own, and I was still on $25K. After the promised
salary and position title review ended up leaving me in
exactly the same position, I started feeling I wasn't
really being appreciated. You probably know the feeling
yourself. That was when I started to think about how much I
felt I was worth. I thought about what salary I wanted, and
came up against some pretty strong beliefs about how I
didn't really deserve more, and I should be grateful for
what I had. Pardon the language, but "stuff that" thought I. I spent the next few months intensively working on what I
believed about myself. I started to make positive
affirmations about how much I was worth, and how I deserved
to have a decent salary, and I didn't deserve to spend
every minute stressed out over how I'd pay the bills. I
repeated positive statements about myself to the mirror. I
wrote down what I wanted. I did exercises to push the
boundaries further. Then, out of the blue, I got a phone call offering me a job
at $43,500, and apologising because it was probably going
to be fairly simple work for me. That's when I found out about the statistics on how there's
a shortage of people applying for top positions. Now, I agree this is not a scientific study, but it seems
like a pretty clear link to me. Especially considering I
had a similar (although less deliberate) process happening
when I got the $25K job to start with. I've since used it
to get a better job again, and I'm in the next-to-top tax
bracket now. Oh yes, and I recently got an opportunity to
go for a relieving job another TWO levels up, after I
decided to rehash my method for a course I'm developing. Do you have anything over at the end of the pay period? If
not, here's a quick exercise to try. Take your current
salary. Triple it, and imagine yourself being offered a
position at that level. Chances are, you'll start to find
all kinds of things coming up emotionally for you - the
personal arguments you use to talk yourself out of
receiving that much money. Not convinced? Get a tape recorder, and leave it playing while you do a
role play of you, asking your boss for a raise. Make it a
decent one, say $5,000 or so. When you play it back, you'll
probably find that there is at least one sentence that you
came up with, as yourself, that argued against you getting
the raise. "I understand there's not much money at the
moment..." is a common one. Start spending a bit of time thinking about what you are
really worth. Forget about the idea of being "selfish" and
take a good look at what you have to offer. Work on your
beliefs about yourself. As you do, and once it's solidly
built into your self-image, you'll start to notice little
things coming your way that do improve your lifestyle.
Signposts, if you will, that you're on the right track.
Maybe a small win in the lottery, or a scratchy. Maybe
finding a note on the street, or being given too much
change. You'll know what it is when it happens, if you're
still on track. Use them to keep yourself motivated to go
that next step further. The sky really IS the limit. Best of luck,
Crystal http://www.self-positivity.com Do you believe in yourself? I believe in your right to.
From victim myself, I've climbed back up to reclaim
my self-esteem and my life. My 'secret' is that I've
learned to look at the big picture and find hidden
factors that are aimed at keeping people down. Now my
mission is to share that knowledge with others on the
journey.
