What is Underearning?
It is earning less than one would like or even deserve to.
Today, we discuss four steps to help you overcome the underearning issue. In this episode, I also provide insight into maximizing the earning potential in your portfolio.
How to Overcome Underearning
1. Mindset Shifts
Develop an Abundance Mentality
The first step is to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mentality.
The scarcity mindset is often controlled by fear, worry, and anxiety.
An abundance mindset is more optimistic.

It is important to advocate for yourself during salary negotiations or performance reviews. Take time to research compensation ranges for your profession. It is also important to articulate your value to employers and negotiate higher pay, better benefits, or additional perks.
