- Hello hello!
In this video, we're gonna talk about
how to increase your value as an employee
to make a six figure salary.
Stay tuned.

All right.
The first thing I'm gonna get you to do
is ask yourself right now,
how much value you you are contributing
in your organization.
So how much is your salary now
and how much value are you adding?
Are you adding the maximum amount of value possible
that you can for that position?
That's where I want you to get really clear,
because it's going to start
by you understanding very clearly
the value that you are contributing.
And there's no reason
why if you're not right now, or you don't feel that you are
that you can't be contributing $100,000
worth of value per year.
It's not difficult to do.
Ask yourself where you're at right now,
are you contributing the amount
of value that is aligned with that,
or are you contributing more,
and are you contributing the maximum amount of value
that you can in your current position?
Secondly, what are your beliefs
about the amount of money that you can make?
What are you basing it on?
So most people are basing it on what's already been done
in there, like what the average salary
is for their position.
They might go to this, the payscale.com
or look at the market value for the salaries,
basing it on what's already being paid.
And that's a start,
but it is an arbitrary number that was made up.
So really, it's in the amount of value that you give,
is the amount of money
that you can confidently ask for.
It's simple as that.
And you can learn
how if you're not right now, either create
that amount of value or more,
or learn how to articulate it very clearly,
understanding it yourself first,
and then being able to communicate it
so that it's very clear, the value that you're contributing
and why you are asking for more to collect more money.
A lot of people think that it's hours
that were paid for like an hourly rate,
and that's how much money we should be paid.
It's money equals time.
But that's not true.
Value in fact equals money.
So if you figured out how to contribute
the same amount of value
in half the amount of hours,
you've essentially given yourself a race,
you have essentially doubled your income,
because you figured that out, right?
So I'll give you an example.
Say somebody hires somebody to write a sales page for them.
And it takes this person's very experience
at writing sales pages
and they are very good at doing this
and it takes them maybe an hour to write it.
Let's just say for example, right?
But that sales page, generates $100,000
versus another person,
it might take them 20 hours to write it.
But if they're not producing that result
of that sales page, producing $100,000,
then that 20 hours is nothing compared
to the value that that hour contributed from someone else
who knew how to produce that result from it.
Sometimes we think that the more time we spend on something,
the more hours that we work,
the more value we're contributing.
But that's not always the case.
And it actually turns out
that when we contribute too many hours,
we work long hours and we're staying after work
and we're burning the candle at both ends.
We're actually contributing less value.
There's a diminishing return there,
because our brain can only function at a high level
for a certain amount of time before it burns out
and it's less effective.
Also, honestly, the person paying you
doesn't care how much time you spent doing something.
They only care about the result that they're gonna get
from the work you did.
If you figured out how to do it
more efficiently in less time,
then that is more valuable
than you spending 20 hours to do it.
An example of this is
say the dentist is going to pull your tooth out
and they say that it can either take
10 hours or it can take three minutes.
What would you pay more for?
A very long drawn out tooth extraction
because it took longer
or a very quick tooth extraction.
Probably the short one is worth a lot more money, right?
He's gonna like, if he's like, yeah, I'll do it.
It'll be super quick.
It won't hurt at all
versus it's gonna take a really long time
and it's gonna be very painful.
The amount of hours spent doing something
does not equal more value.
So it's more about your brain
and how you are using it
in order to produce, create a result
that the employer wants.
And when you are able to use your brain
to create results faster and more effectively
that is when you get to ask for more money unapologetically,
because they're going to be happy to pay you that.
So the question you wanna be asking is
how can I create the most value in my position?
And what would I need to do
in order for the person paying me to say,
"I'm happy to pay you more for that."
What's the answer to that question?
And then lastly
what is the amount of money that you want to make?
Oftentimes, we're deciding it based upon
what we think is possible,
what the average is,
what has been done in the past, right?
But those numbers are completely made up.
They're completely arbitrary.
What you wanna be asking is,
"How much money do you want to make?
What do you want your salary to be?"
So say it's 100,000 or in the six figure range.
What do you want your salary to be?
And then you ask,
"How do you develop yourself into the person
who can contribute that value
and then talk about it in a way that is compelling
and a no-brainer for somebody to say,
"Yes, of course, I wanna pay you for that.
When can you start?"
And that is what I hope you do.
So my name is Natalie Fisher.
I'm a certified career mindset coach.
I'm helping people get to six figures
if they haven't already,
I've worked with many people who are already at six figures
and want to increase,
or people who want to get to that six figure range.
If you're interested in learning more from me,
you can click the link below,
I have a free training called "Five Steps
to a six figure job you love."
And I'm gonna be teaching you how to think about yourself
in the way of becoming that person who creates the value
of a six-figure employee or whatever the number
is that you want to make.
And then we work to create that value,
so that you can then talk about it
and showcase it effortlessly,
and then how you're going to act and show up in interviews
when you're talking about it.
