This week we’re continuing the You Deserve More series in acknowledgment of Women’s Equal Pay Day. Each year, I lead thousands of women through 20 principles that help them use their God-given gifts to earn more money. (Learn more at iwillearnmore.com)

Today, I see so many people doing things just for the attention.

Women dress the part they think others want to see. They do the make over to try and make everyone else happy.

How many times have you seen Instagram posts of someone getting all dolled up, but they had nowhere to go?

When you really connect with these people, they are empty. They are uncomfortable, and in the end people just walk all over them.

You need to be you.

Be unapologetically you.

Wear the things you want to wear, not what you think you should wear. If you like bright colors, wear it with pride.

Having that confidence to be true to yourself will show the world you respect yourself. Then, when they see that they will show you more respect.

Whether we like it or not, people judge from a first glance. If they look at you as someone who tries to please everyone they know they can walk all over you.

If they look at you and see the only person you are trying to please is yourself, they’ll want to please you as well.

For this episode of the Redefining Wealth Podcast I brought on a truly wonderful expert who knows about proving your value through your actions and your wardrobe: Mikki Taylor.
