Three-and-a-half years ago, I wouldn't have imagined that I'd be writing the words salary negotiations in my blog. But here we are.
Reflecting on my journey to a career pivot, financial education was an important part of the whole process. Without this foundation, it's likely I would've sabatoged myself, as described in the beginning of this blog. Addressing and working through money blocks and negative attitudes towards money is actually the first step, even before enrolling in courses.
I don't believe in the popular concept of manifesting, but I do believe that you attract what you focus on. If you stare too long at the car parked with flashers blinking on the side of the road, there's a good chance that you may swerve your car in that direction without realizing it. If you have limiting beliefs about money, those beliefs may limit your potential overall because you won't be able to visualize success or imagine what's possible.
No, it's not an insane amount of money we're talking about today, but it's more than my childhood would've allowed me to accept. So, another financial milestone for the blog. In this uncertain world full of layoffs, rising interest rates, inflation and crazy prices on groceries, I don't take this for granted. I just wish I felt happier today. My mind is doing what it needs to do, but it doesn't have the luxury of happy.
How about you? have you ever found yourself faced with a big financial mindset shift?
