The Pattern
The income problem isn't really a skills problem. Every time we get close to the ceiling, something stops. There's a belief underneath about what you're worth or what you're allowed to have — and that belief is doing more work than your competence.
What Mastery Looks Like
A relationship with earning that is grounded in genuine value rather than inherited limitation
