Stop settling and expecting less than you deserve. When you devalue yourself, others will devalue you even more. It's often hard for women to not only ask for what they're worth, but also to believe in it. Coming from a recruiting background, compen…

Quote of the Day

Stop living with the breaks on & holding yourself back from your true potential. There's a big world out there to see and a life full of possibilities. But if you live in fear and censorship, how will you ever discover what you're meant to do?

Stop Discounting Yourself, Putting Yourself on Sale, and Giving Away the Farm- You're Worth More Than That!

Yesterday I posted an article from ForbesWoman.com that came about because of a discussion on their Linked In Group message forum. Good to see there's dialog going on SOMEWHERE! But I digress. :)

It really got me thinking. This discussion couldn't have come along at a better time. I have long been an advocate of owning and valuing your worth and setting rates (or commanding a salary) that you are worthy of.

Start-Up Shakeout Unlike Dot Com Bust

I thought this was an interesting article to share.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125978866772073393.html
