You're not special and nobody owes you anything. If that triggered you, just swipe to the next video. You're not gonna like what I'm about to say. So many people go through life with this entitled mentality. They think inherently they deserve to be paid more, or they deserve more views on their YouTube videos or more followers on Instagram. But if you can shift this mentality to I don't deserve this, how can I become deserving of it? Your world is about to change dramatically forever. So instead of going to your boss asking for a raise and being like, I deserve this, this is mine, go to your boss and say, what kind of value can I bring to the table that's going to deserve a pay increase? If you can shift this mindset from an entitlement mindset to a generosity mindset, a mindset of adding value to other people, people around you are going to notice, and you're going to become an incredibly attractive candidate for that job promotion or that dream client you've always wanted to work with. It's that simple. Just be generous.
