Some people don't ask for raises because they're afraid that the answer will be no. But what if the answer is yes? If you don't ask for it, you won't get it. And what is so bad about hearing no? You can learn from a no and use it to get a raise in the future. Remember, no doesn't mean no forever; it means no for right now.
Remember the phrase, it's only business; it's not personal. That can help you as you prepare to ask your boss for a raise. You need to treat it as you would any other business issue, by providing facts and supporting information.
Who wants to get a raise at work? You do. If you're like most people though, you'll delay asking for a raise because you're not sure what to do. I can help you to learn what’s holding you back and what practical steps you can take to make more money at work.
I want to help you to get the raise you deserve, build a better relationship with your boss, and feel good about the process.
My new book, Raise Rules for Women: How To Make More Money At Work, will give you practical actions that you can take right now to get what you want.
