If you’re an aspiring project manager making decent money but nowhere near six figures yet, there’s a good chance you’re not underpaid because you’re missing skills — you’re underpaid because of behaviors you’ve normalized.

The longer you keep them, the longer six figures stays “some day” instead of right now. In this video, I walk through the things I would stop doing immediately if I wanted a six-figure PM career faster.

I cover:

  • Why waiting to be chosen or promoted is killing your momentum
  • How thinking small keeps you capped — and what senior PMs do differently
  • Why the full-time employee mindset limits your income
  • Why avoiding IT and tech roles is costing you money and flexibility
  • Why over-learning without doing keeps you stuck in preparation mode
