Post-Grad Survival Guide: Don't Limit Yourself
When I graduated school I had one goal in mind: To make $15/hour.
That’s $600/week, and $31,200/year. Before taxes. Just to be clear with ya’ll, my degree must’ve cost me twice that amount of money.
I make that amount now through freelancing, and it just dawned on me that I’m making that because I put a limit on myself. Why didn’t I think bigger? It’s probably because I didn’t think I was worth $20/hour or something. My bar was $15/hour, and I’ve reached it.
One of the things I’ve learned is that whatever you think your worth is what you’ll make. Whatever position you think your worth, you’ll get. It’s that simple.
So don’t be sheepish.
Dream big, work hard, and you’ll end up getting exactly what you want.
Don’t limit yourself.
