Let’s talk about how your beliefs about money can impact your career as a career professional.
1. Mental barriers
What do I do?
Start by keeping a diary where you will write down all your thoughts about money throughout the week. Assess which ones are negative or limiting, and think about where they came from. Perhaps these attitudes were learned in childhood or influenced by certain social norms. Then start forming new, positive beliefs about money.
2. Changing views
What do I do?
Work on changing mentality begins with self-education. Read books, listen to podcasts, and review material from thought leaders in financial literacy and psychology, such as Robert Kiyosaki and Napoleon Hill. These resources will help you understand how financial success is formed and how to achieve it.
3. Development and learning
What do I do?
Identify the key skills that are in demand in your profession and start actively learning them. These can be courses in digital marketing, data analytics, project management or programming. Coursera, Udemy or LinkedIn Learning platforms offer a wide range of courses to help boost your skills and market value.
