Ep #54 - Compulsive Underearning

You will make whatever you believe you CAN make no matter what you are doing in life!

Does this sound like you? I think a lot of Musicians can fit themselves into this category. Many of my artists tell me that they prefer not to be noticed. It’s difficult to put yourself out there in a BIG way, it’s much more comfortable to stay small and slightly invisible.

”Under Earning is the determination or compulsion to keep ourselves small, to stay under the radar, to not be visible, despite having the desire to be successful, despite having the ability to and perhaps having opportunities.”

Symptoms

Not asking for a raise
Rejecting ideas
Working below ones training
Avoiding earning
Investing more time than is needed in a task
Specifically for the self-employed – not following up leads
Not charging appropriately or under charging, not charging at all, not following up on an unpaid invoice.
Overdoing volunteering activities
Choosing to work alone, when it may make more sense to work with others
Clutter – not valuing your workspace, having things that get in the way
Time deflection, putting off what needs to be done by doing something else, not spending time actually focusing on visions and goals.
Chronic lateness

People behave in this way for a reason. What is behind this type of behaviour?

Internal conflict and core beliefs that says “I really want this, but I think I can ever have it.”

One of those CORE beliefs is that you’re only really going to be successful if you have a significant windfall. Because you couldn’t possibly do it on your own.

The other huge CORE belief is concerns about visibility issues, if I get successful I will stand out, be noticed and be vulnerable.

Get out there and get vulnerable, set big goals and start earning to your potential.
