Career success should come with a share of the created value.
Yet most professionals don’t push for this.
Why?
Because society has conditioned us to always go above and beyond, without questioning if we’re being fairly rewarded.
Now, this is an effective strategy if you’re just starting out or gaining experience.
But once you’re identifying and driving significant value for your company, it’s time to pause and ask:
👉 What’s in this for me?
Many hesitate to ask this because they fear pushback or feel an obligation to keep delivering.
But if you’re consistently outperforming without being compensated accordingly, then something needs to change.
There’s a way to have these conversations with management to reach a more equitable arrangement.
And if that doesn’t happen, then other companies will certainly be more open to discussing alternative arrangements for you.
Put simply, if you’re driving exceptional value, then you deserve a share of the upside.
The kicker?
You’re the only person that can drive this discussion to make this happen.
