Negotiating what you're worth!

By Danielle Laporte
To increase your earnings…
You’ve got to believe that you’re worth it. It all starts there. You can hesitate and be doubtful, you can even worry that you won’t get what you want, but in your heart of hearts, you have to fully claim that you’re worthy — and amazing.
The world reflects back to you how much you value yourself.
If you’re uncomfortable negotiating…
Role play it out. Ask a friend to be tough on you. Their job is to play hardball and coach you to stand in your power. Act out the “part” of being a hard-hitter. The point of the exercise is to uncork your inner money ninja. Trumpet your praises, stamp your feet, “I’ll go for six-figures, a parking spot, an extra three weeks paid holidays — and nothing less.” Just try on righteousness for size.
And then… come back to center, back to what feels true in your bones.
And know this: If you are willing to give a gig your all — and you can back it with talent and skill — then you fully deserve to have your energy matched.
