We need it, but we don’t like talking about how we make it. Yet we do want to know how others make it.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to earn money or even making a point that your time has a monetary value. First, we are never taught about financial literacy. It's a huge gap in our academic curriculums. To get a taste of what this means, this podcast episode is a good place to start (easy listening). Second, how much do you want to earn? We tend to throw out a number but never properly think about it, let alone actually calculate how much. Have a look at this great infographic on steps to figuring out your hourly rate. Although aimed at freelancers, everyone can use it to find your numbers. Know your number. a) 'essential' number b) ‘comfortable’ number c) ‘that would be amazing’ number By knowing these numbers you can set your targets for career progression, for business development, next step planning, and more. |
