In a one-story orange house there was an orange cat, an orange sofa, red-haired owner, orange dining room chairs, and an orange kitchen. What color were the stairs?

How To Know If You're Being Paid What You're Worth
It used to be taboo to talk about money, but there are lots of ways now to figure out what you should be getting paid. And if you aren’t getting paid what’s fair, we've listed some ideas to fix that.
While meritocracy — the idea that you achieve success through hard work — may be evident in previous generations, it doesn’t necessarily work that way anymore in the fast-paced corporate world. Sometimes people are paid unfairly, especially among different sexes, and skill development and education aren’t always equally rewarded.
Given we spend such a large proportion of our lives (up to a third) working, it’s important to know your skill level and your worth so that you can keep ahead of the game when it comes to compensation. Plus, having your skills recognized builds self-esteem and confidence: two key elements that regulate our sense of well-being.
Here are three tips to ensure you’re being paid what you’re worth:
- Subscribe to industry publications and websites: Not only can you keep up to date with advances in your industry, you can also check the job section to see what the market rate is for your role.
- Speak to recruiters: While you may not be actively looking for a new job, it’s a smart move to keep an updated resume with a few recruiters. That way, if something that matches your skillset comes up, you’ll know what is available and how much you would be compensated.
- Talk to peers and coaches: Networking within your industry cannot be underestimated. It’s helpful to know peers in your industry. You can share opportunities with one another, or honestly compare compensation and benefits.

Quick Conversation Starters
Small talk can be challenging for many people. Even the most talkative and outgoing people sometimes hit a lull in the conversation or aren’t sure how to talk with strangers. Here are a few conversation starters to overcome that social anxiety:
- How do you know [name of the party/dinner host]?
- Have you heard about [insert news story]? Follow that up with: What do you think about that?
- You seem familiar, where might I know you from?
- What do you do for work?
- What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
- Do you have any children? Tell me about them (if they do).
- Ask for an opinion about what you’re doing (shopping, waiting in line for something that involves a choice, etc.)
- Ask a trivia question (great in a group setting). Try using the question from last month’s issue of this newsletter. The answer is on the last page.

Renovations You May Regret
Owning a home may feel like a green light to making it the house of your dreams. But, before you spend your hard-earned money, it’s important to keep in mind the bigger picture, especially if you intend to move to a different home in the next few years. Here are a few tips to keep your projects focused and money-smart:
- Try to avoid specializations: You may love a quirky bathroom or floor design, but it may make the future buyer of your home think twice. Instead, opt for neutral décor or something fun that is easily changed (think bright pink wall paint instead of bright pink sinks).
- Go small: Rather than paint or wallpaper an entire room, why not go for a feature or accent wall? This will make redecoration easier for future buyers, and easy to change if YOU change your mind.
- Plan for storage: When renovating kitchens and bathrooms, it’s important to keep in mind the need for storage. Future buyers may have children and need much more storage. More is usually better.
- Avoid luxury items: It may be tempting to go for a custom-made marble countertop from Italy, however, that’s an expense you may not recoup when selling your home.

Make Your Self-Care Plan Work For You
Various studies show that many of us suffer from stress and anxiety, and more so during difficult times. Taking care of ourselves should be our number one priority, but somehow it often gets relegated further down our personal priority lists.
Here is how to build a self-care strategy that focuses on your mental and physical well-being, and also fits into the busiest schedules.
1. Choose rituals and practices that are realistic for you. It’s all very well choosing the most stress-relieving practice there is, but if you can’t see yourself doing it, it won’t be something you keep up with. Before committing to any self-care activity, think about how realistic it is and if you would actually enjoy it and DO it. Plan from there.
2. Plan out self-care. It is easier to stick to a self-care plan if you block out time in your schedule for a self-care or de-stressing activity. You don’t need 90 minutes for a yoga class; try starting small first. Block out 20 minutes to stretch at lunch time, or 15 minutes to practice a meditation first thing in the morning before work.
3. Be organized. While you can and should be flexible with your schedule as things change throughout your week, being organized about self-care can help you stay on track. Practice doing a certain activity on a certain day, or at a certain time during your day. Repeating that each week will encourage the practice to become a habit.
4. Prioritize sleep. This self-care activity is a no-brainer, but it is often the one most under-utilized. Adults need 7–9 hours of sleep per night. Prioritizing sleep will help manage stress levels and can even help you maintain a healthier weight.
5. Aim to exercise. Exercise improves sleep, reduces stress levels, and helps to keep you on track with your health goals. Experts advise getting around 150 minutes of exercise a week, which may feel like a lot, but it’s only around 20 minutes per day! Start with a walk around the block before bedtime and see how your sleep improves.

Real Estate Corner…
Q: Why do some homes sell in days when others take months or don’t sell at all?
A: When sellers or their real estate agent overlook any of the important ingredients of a successful sale, a home can linger on the market. Here are three reasons why a home doesn’t sell quickly:
- Asking price is too high. When a home first comes on the market, the list price must be at or near the market value so buyers see it as a good value and put in an offer. If you would like to know your home’s current value, I will gladly conduct a Maximum Home Value Audit. I conduct this in-depth analysis for no charge to identify your home’s highest possible value.
- Poor marketing plan. Many real estate agents will do nothing more than put the house on the MLS. When I am hired to sell a home, I use a 28 Step Home Marketing Plan to reach more potential buyers in the first few weeks after a home is listed for sale.
- Home is not staged properly. A buyer wants to buy a home they can imagine living in with their family. If the house is not staged or it’s done incorrectly, buyers may lose interest and move on to other homes. Get the facts on how to stage your properly by requesting my Free Consumer Guide “4-Steps To Stage Your Home For A Fast Sale.”
