The 9 career trap: undercharging and overgiving
If you treat “helping” as free, you burn out and you become resentful.
Money scripts that protect you:
- “I care about this work, and my rate is ___. If the budget is fixed, we can reduce scope.”
- “I’m available for these hours. Outside of that, I’m offline.”
- “I can help, but I can’t carry it alone. Here’s what I can do and what I need from you.”
A simple 90-day plan
Weeks 1–2: pick one lane (who you help and how).
Weeks 3–6: ship one helpful thing per week (content, lesson, sessions, product).
Weeks 7–10: package your offer (clear scope, clear price, clear boundaries).
Weeks 11–12: build referral systems (testimonials, partnerships, outreach).
Connect the dots
- Your Expression Number shows how you help (teacher, leader, creator, builder).
- Your Personal Year Number shows whether to build, pivot, or finish right now.
