The Edge
So if getting a higher rate is about getting the edge how do you go about getting the edge right now? or is that not important in getting a higher rate?
Get Assistance
...and ELIMINATE beliefs and conditioning around MONEY, RATE, WORTH. The Lefkoe Method will assist you to eliminate belief and conditioning around securing a higher rate.
The Lefkoe Method will help you eliminate your negative emotions around rate for good because
it will assist you to make a distinction between the original real cause of the emotion and the events that just happened to be occurring at the time.
"HOW does making mistakes, being criticized, not meeting expectations, being rejected, and a host of other non-scary situations get conditioned to produce anxiety around asking for more?"
I like how Morty put it
"Its like reacting to an imaginary FIST everytime an icecream gets handed to us"
I'm curious. WHAT imaginary FIST is being reacted to everytime an icecream gets handed to you?" WHAT beliefs and conditioning are being reacted to whenever its about MONEY, RATE, your WORTH?

when working it didn't really matter how well I did my job
Here is something I often hear muttered that I know more people than just you and your colleague alone can relate to
This is something I know you can relate to.... How do I know?
I know that I know because many who read this blogg are in the process of breaking out.. not tolerating having the joy of their 'creative self' suppressed any longer.
But like you are wondering how.
What did you do at the time?
Did you consider becoming a highly paid expert in your field?
Did you consider starting on your own monetised blogg like this lady?
What other viable ways of earning multiple income streams have you found besides professional blogging in IT?
when working it didn't really matter how well I did my job because the company basically weren't going to pay me more than they could afford to. It's difficult to keep motivated, at least in relation to your money, if you know that you aren't going to benefit too much from your increased experience and ability to do your job.

Importance of Rate
It is no coincidence that IT Contractors need to go for the highest possible rate for every hour they spend because they trade in life's seconds... seconds they can never get back... so its very understandable they would ask for the highest possible rate especially if their life's precious seconds are valued at all.
Consider along with this that they only have a maximim of 24 hours each day to give toward that.
If you were to deduct (from that 24 hours) the time needed for sleep, time needed to keep up with change in their area of expertise, networking, maintaining their books, updating resumes, going on interviews and you soon see that dwindle considerably. It makes absolute sense that they can make sure every hour on the job counts.
It is also fair enough that the pay scale for the IT industry is a little higher than other expense sided service providers since research aimed at management indicates that business consistantly and persistantly looks to technology for every opportunity to directly improve their bottom line. Business would prefer to use technology where it does more, does it faster, does it with more precision, does it longer, without the high maintenance that can come with the human alternative.
Business is willing to share in that improvement with those willing to deliver it to them.
But lets look at the other side of the coin. Most of us have met contractors who are there for the gain but not for helping the business overcome its pain. They appear to have only one thing on their mind. The highest rate possible. However realistically this is not sustainable without the contractor giving something in return through shifting their expertise and innovatively applying that to areas of greatest demand. Consider perhaps, the possibility, that demanding the highest possible rate without offering some real and ongoing benefit and advantage does not help the people who are trying to represent you, namely your agent. Agents will endeavor to get you the best possible rate, the best possible deal but can only do this with people who are willing to work with them.
So to what extent is finding more benefit and advantage for the end client, that makes it easier for the agent to best place you, at the best possible rate, (dare I say) that gives you the edge... important to you as a contractor?
