Summary
Want to get paid what you're worth? Don't just demand it, believe it.
It's a question I'm asked often by everyone from employees to entrepreneurs and private practice professionals. How do I raise my rates, earn more money, get paid what I'm worth?
Part of it is a marketing principal—"price implies quality." Raise your rates, ask for more and people will start to see you as someone worthy of that amount. It's all about perception, they "file" you as a higher-caliber performer because the price or salary you're asking is that of someone who is worth it. It's quality "by association."
BUT, that's only half the equation. The other half is about belief. And, if you miss this part, you can raise your fees, ask for more, demand a raise...and none of it will matter. It still won't work. Nobody will buy you're worth it until you do. That's what we're talking about in today's GLP Riff.
And, on in our Good Life Science Update, we're exploring the alarming relationship between noise, especially traffic and city noise, and heart disease. Turns out, city dwellers and traffic marauders may be at a higher risk of heart attack or stroke and many other diseases. We'll explore this phenomenon and some new research on what may be the underlying causes. And, as always, for those who want to go to the source, here's a link to more.

| 0:00.0 | I've never noticed that if you go and decide one day that you're going to raise your rates |
| 0:06.6 | that you're going to demand a higher salary, a bigger raise, a more compensation or just |
| 0:12.0 | more from somebody else in any part of your life, that when you do that, the fear that |
| 0:18.2 | you had of people completely rejecting you very often is not met by people rejecting |
| 0:24.7 | you but is met by people saying, what took you so long? |
| 0:27.8 | People happily give you everything you're asking for and if you don't get that response, |
| 0:32.5 | everyone wants to what's really happening there because you know you're worth it. |
| 0:36.5 | Well, it turns out there is something beneath this phenomenon that is really driving it |
| 0:42.5 | that may not be so obvious and I've had some experiences in conversation recently that |
| 0:47.5 | brought this to bear and I wanted to talk a bit about it and that's where I'm going |
| 0:51.0 | into today's Good Life Project RIF, along with that in our weekly Good Life Signs update. |
| 0:58.3 | We're diving into some kind of fascinating new research on traffic noise and how that |
| 1:04.8 | affects your risk for heart disease. So, city dwellers or people who are around a whole |
| 1:10.5 | bunch of noise, maybe even loud office noise during the day, take note you will want to hear this. |

| 1:28.4 | Made with zesty lemon time from a small family farm in Provance and essential oils from herbs |
| 1:34.9 | that grow in the Mediterranean sunshine. So, if three quarters of your G&T is a Fever Tree Tonic, |
| 1:43.3 | maybe it's time to call it a T&G Fever Tree Mix with the Best. |
| 1:51.6 | Oh, that takes me straight to the mad. |
| 1:56.8 | Okay, so here's the deal. I've been entrepreneur for a whole lot of years. I've also worked in |
| 2:02.4 | big companies or massive government organizations, bureaucracies and there comes a time in everybody's |
| 2:10.6 | sort of work existence where they want more, they know they're worth more and you want to be |
