Don't blame the player, blame the game

or maybe your lack of understanding of the game.

You just found out that your co-worker is making more money than you for the same job.

It gets worse . . .they probably negotiated other benefits that makes their compensation package higher than yours.

YOU made a decision NOT to negotiate.

You know, you didn't want to rock the boat, seem greedy, seem ungrateful or whatever other story you tell yourself to feel better. (There's a reason we call this the brutal truth webinar series.)

You just got left behind.

Let's change this scenario . . . together.

Join the Corporate Alley Cat, Kourtney Whitehead, Executive Placement Services, The Boston Consulting Group and Kelci Trent, Region Business Director, Johnson & Johnson on Tuesday, April 2 for "Negotiate or Get Left Behind" webinar.

WHAT IS YOUR FINANCIAL MINDSET?

•People who have a poverty mentality think day to day.
•People with a poor mentality think week to week.
•Most middle class people think month to month.
•Rich people think year to year.
•Affluent or very rich people think decade to decade.
•Wealthy people think generation to generation.

According to wealth coach and author, Deborah Owens, there is a big difference between people who build wealth and people who just work to pay bills.

"Wealthy people understand the difference between wealth and income. Wealthy people think, act and do things differently when it comes to mindset."

Join us on March 6 at 8:00 PM.
