Class Description:
When you feel like you’re out of power, the best thing you can do is take some. We’re living in a world where capitalism rules, and you need a paycheck, even if it feels like the world’s burning. While we’re all waiting on aliens to save us, you might as well be getting paid—and trust me, don’t leave a single dollar on the table, because money is power.
If you’re tired of being underpaid, overlooked, or told to “wait your turn,” this class is your turning point. It’s about claiming your value, demanding what you deserve, and never playing small again. We’ll break down the art of negotiation so you can walk into any room, own your worth, and command your future.
In this class, you’ll learn:
Here’s the truth: Every time you advocate for yourself, you’re not just securing a better paycheck—you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of financial freedom. So take action, claim your worth, and say yes to what you deserve.
See you in class. Let’s get you paid.
