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.
