  Sep 4, 202619 min

  If you want next-level success, there is a simple shift in mindset that can propel you: Pay is for production, not for time. Expect to be paid for (& to be pay for) effectiveness, not effort.

Gain tips for rising above a culture that values "face time" visibility & rewards "work ethic" -- regardless of effectiveness. Become attentive to who bears the risks of a contract or project. Develop a practice of asking whether you are partners in profit. Be unapologetic about your expectation that pay is for production. Learn to access what merits payment -- both how much & when. Develop the ability to identify organizations & create structures that uphold the tenet of "results are rewarded" -- & rise to your next stage of success.
