Speaker 2: we do practice it. Okay, but get your salt shakers ready, y'all,
Speaker 2: because you know, as Tiffany said, we take everything we
Speaker 2: say with a little tiny grain of salt. But let's
Speaker 2: start with don't want to be shady, just want to
Speaker 2: be paid. Literally, that's the name that we are going with.
Speaker 2: Don't want to be We'll just call her shady. Shady
Speaker 2: says hey, Andy and Tiffany. I have worked for a
Speaker 2: company for six years now, and I have learned how
Speaker 2: to be a career counselor. I had relevant experience when
Speaker 2: I came into the job, but I honed ninety percent
Speaker 2: of my skills through doing this job. Like most women
Speaker 2: of color, I am not making the money I am worth,
Speaker 2: so I have advocated for raises over the years and
Speaker 2: am making much more than when I started. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: thinking about starting a side business coaching young people in
Speaker 2: their careers using the skills I've learned through this job
Speaker 2: to generate an additional stream of income to pay off
Speaker 2: my considerable debt, create an emergency fund, and be able
Speaker 2: to travel. I would be serving a different demographic and
Speaker 2: not poaching clients from the company. I'd be using resources
Speaker 2: that I've used in my job, but I created most
Speaker 2: of the resources we use anyway, Is it problematic to
Speaker 2: use the skills this job taught me to make additional
Speaker 2: money doing the same thing. Do I need to loopen
Speaker 2: my boss at all or just do my thing? Sincerely?
Speaker 2: Don't want to be shady, just want to be paid.
Speaker 3: Oh this is my juicy. It is juicy.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting back like Mary, dude, what you say girl's perspective?
Speaker 1: And then I'll say, I want you to say, from
Speaker 1: like what can she actually do here?
Speaker 2: Okay, from a boss's perspective, you are shady. This is
Speaker 2: very not cool. I hate to break it to you.
Speaker 2: So I know that you say that you have created
Speaker 2: these resources yourself at work, so you feel like you're
Speaker 2: entitled to use them in your business. But this is
Speaker 2: why when I talk about you know, especially for nine
Speaker 2: to five workers who are wanting to create their own
Speaker 2: consultant business for example, and you yourself want to do
Speaker 2: all your own service based business, one of my number
Speaker 2: one tips is to immediately start like keeping that Chinese wall,
Speaker 2: like keeping a barrier in between your work product at
Speaker 2: work and your business product on the side, and you
Speaker 2: are immediately blurring that lines when you take something that
Speaker 2: you've produced at your office through on their payroll at
Speaker 2: using their systems, using their print or whatever, and passing
Speaker 2: it off as if you own it. That's the sad
Speaker 2: thing about working nine to five. We love we love
Speaker 2: the nine to five life, for the benefits, for the healthcare,
Speaker 2: for the four one K, for that job quote unquote stability.
Speaker 2: But why we don't love it is that everything you
Speaker 2: do while you're on their payroll is really their product.
Speaker 2: They own it, not you, which may not be exactly
Speaker 2: what you want to hear, but that's the truth. Now
Speaker 2: that being said, you are your own person, and there
Speaker 2: is potential that you could launch your own independent venture
Speaker 2: outside of your nine to five, but I think you're
Speaker 2: going to there. The more unique your venture is and
Speaker 2: the more you can say how different it is, the
Speaker 2: more likely it's going to be to not cause any issues.
Speaker 2: I think that like, based on what you're saying, it
Speaker 2: seems really close to what you're doing now, very close
Speaker 2: to what you're doing now, and I don't think it
Speaker 2: would be wise of you to tell your manager that
Speaker 2: you're doing this because I do think that they're going
Speaker 2: to have an issue with it. That being said, if
Speaker 2: you want to, yeah, Tiff wouldn't do it, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: do it under your own name. I do think that
Speaker 2: maybe there's an opportunity for you to like test out
Speaker 2: creating your own content, creating your own thing, and trying
Speaker 2: to post it, maybe under a pseudonym, just to see
Speaker 2: if you're getting any traction, Like have that minimum viable
Speaker 2: product kind of moment where you're trying to see if
Speaker 2: people are responding to it. You could do some free workshops,
Speaker 2: for example, like where you're not getting paid, but you
Speaker 2: are like engaging with that audience and trying to like
Speaker 2: test out your message and see if it's good. There's
Speaker 2: a way that you could also do this where you
Speaker 2: are like representing your company, but you're doing it like
Speaker 2: what you're speaking on panels, like you're getting tapped to
Speaker 2: go to conferences, you're getting tapped to speak at maybe
Speaker 2: college campuses around the country, and you're doing it representing
Speaker 2: your company. That's very different. If you wanted to do
Speaker 2: that on your own, I think you would have some
Speaker 2: challenges and they may not be too happy about it.
Speaker 1: So and you make it suit because I know about
Speaker 1: me and my Unicorn squad, I have a non compete
Speaker 1: in our contract, like since you're not going to work
Speaker 1: for me as a Budgeonista, and then also create a
Speaker 1: financial education thing on the side.
Speaker 3: With whose resources? Not more, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like like, so we now here's the thing. So many
Speaker 1: people who work with me have side businesses that I
Speaker 1: then promote, like you know, like we put like, oh
Speaker 1: you know you like for example, I'm not saying like,
Speaker 1: for example, Logan on my team is my content manager,
Speaker 1: and Logan is an amazing copywriter and content creator. And
Speaker 1: so I've promoted Logan to like like on our social
Speaker 1: media channels to do content stuff, you know, just in general,
Speaker 1: and people have hired her, no problem. But what Logan
Speaker 1: couldn't do, like because that's different. It's almost like I'm
Speaker 1: a teacher and I tutor on the side, No problem.
Speaker 1: But I can't open a competing school, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And so like Logan doing content for somebody else,
Speaker 1: no problem. It's like I can't be a financial company
Speaker 1: that does what we do. But Logan actually opening up
Speaker 1: her own financial education firm. Problem because it's like you're
Speaker 1: it's now you can do that and not work here,
Speaker 1: you know, like you couldn't you know, you couldn't work
Speaker 1: here and do that, even like I had a woman
Speaker 1: on our team. She's also I just saw that Joadalice,
Speaker 1: I forget the name of Jeddale's in staff.
Speaker 3: She's she helps people create courses.
Speaker 1: So when she was working with us, she really helped
Speaker 1: to build out like our course platform for for Literature Academy,
Speaker 1: and then she helped other people build that through course platforms,
Speaker 1: and I think she was doing it simultaneously. No problem,
Speaker 1: but she couldn't open her own online school called almost
Speaker 1: Literature Academy or whatever you see to mean like her
Speaker 1: own financial online school. Not that she couldn't open her
Speaker 1: financial her online school, but that's the issue is that
Speaker 1: you know you can't. And I've had people who you know,
Speaker 1: try to kind of do that and it's not worked
Speaker 1: because I think people don't understand. This is what you know,
Speaker 1: when I'm gonna, like, you know, get my Kanye on
Speaker 1: but saw sold separately. Since I know y'all here and
Speaker 1: you're like, ow, I helped build the budget East and
Speaker 1: I helped build this, I could do the same thing
Speaker 1: over here, or I'm gonna take all of this to
Speaker 1: the next person who's in competition with Tiffany and we're
Speaker 1: gonna take Tiffany down. I've had a couple people do
Speaker 1: that and then one year, two year, five years past,
Speaker 1: and no new Tiffany has been built because sauce sold separately.
Speaker 1: That although you bring a lot to the table, ultimately
Speaker 1: you know I'm the table.
Speaker 3: And so you want to be mindful because you don't
Speaker 3: want to be girls.
Speaker 1: You know. I've had a few people I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: story in our first.
Speaker 3: Because you know, but I've had it. But I had
Speaker 3: to learn that lesson from myself.
Speaker 1: But I just say all that to say honestly, then
Speaker 1: be mindful because you don't want to be blackballed in
Speaker 1: the industry.
Speaker 3: Industries are smaller than you think.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be black balled, and quite honestly,
Speaker 1: you will be found out because especially if you start
Speaker 1: to do well and you don't want to be fired,
Speaker 1: you know, and now if you want to leave the
Speaker 1: job and build something new, that's one thing. But to
Speaker 1: build something that kind of competes even though it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's different clients, you.
Speaker 3: Know, if you're here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If you cannot tell your boss, you know, then you
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be doing it unless you're ready to lose
Speaker 1: your job and you're like, this thing is making me
Speaker 1: enough money, So I just would be mindful of that.
Speaker 1: And that's that on that sis, be mindful, don't be shady,
Speaker 1: just want to be paid, like you know, Yeah, just be.
Speaker 3: Me mindful, you know.
Speaker 1: Take your skill sets and ask yourself how you can
Speaker 1: flip it where it's not at all like what you're doing.
Speaker 1: You know, there's other things that you can do with
Speaker 1: that skill set, Like I went for teaching preschool to
Speaker 1: teaching financial education, so but still at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I'm still a teacher.
Speaker 3: So you could cherry pick the.
Speaker 1: Skill sets and see and ask yourself, how can I
Speaker 1: do this in a totally different way that if my
Speaker 1: boss did find out or whatever. No, biggie, nobody's no
Speaker 1: school is mad that a teacher tutors on the side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also it's special tutoring that they wouldn't
Speaker 2: be able to offer, like one on one individual tutoring.
Speaker 2: You just can't do that. You can't single out a
Speaker 2: student and then pour all your energy and attention into
Speaker 2: them without knowing. I don't really know much about the
Speaker 2: day to day job tasks that you have, but maybe
Speaker 2: there's a case to be made for like you don't
Speaker 2: get to do one on ones, but if you're literally
Speaker 2: doing one on one coaching through this career counseling service
Speaker 2: that you're a part of, and you want to go
Speaker 2: do it on your own, under your own moniker like
Speaker 2: on the side. Yeah, I mean that they're they're going
Speaker 2: to have an issue with that. You're just gonna have
Speaker 2: to like think about how is this different? How different
Speaker 2: are the audiences? What is my like what is my
Speaker 2: unique you know, value, my unique business proposition? And then
Speaker 2: like how do you differentiate that? But that sounds challenging
Speaker 2: and double dipping is not cool?
Speaker 3: I keep us updated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious. I mean, you're going to give us
Speaker 2: more deeps. You don't got to share it on the show,
Speaker 2: but I'm curia. Like I was not a If I
Speaker 2: had been a podcaster and then launch brand amission podcast,
Speaker 2: like that would have been problematic. Like it was always
Speaker 2: I always and I was working nine to five for
Speaker 2: a long time with this show. But it was never
Speaker 2: it was never interfering, It was never similar to what
Speaker 2: I was doing, you know, through my nine to five,
Speaker 2: so they were cool with it. Yeah, okay, thank you, Shady.
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break. You break, and I'll be
Speaker 2: right back with our next juicy question from listener THEO.
Speaker 2: All right, y'all, we are back. If you want to
Speaker 2: read this one from listener THEO.
Speaker 1: Sure you name it, THEO says, Hi, Mandy and Tiffany,
Speaker 1: please be okay THEO. We know he said, use the
Speaker 1: name THEO.
Speaker 3: Thanks THEO.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the weekly career and financial advice you
Speaker 1: render through your platform. While I do not represent your
Speaker 1: core audience, I benefit greatly from your podcast and I
Speaker 1: use it to inform and educate others in my immediate circle.
Speaker 3: Love it, THEO.
Speaker 1: I just listened to this week's episode CNN's Diversifying Negotiate.
Speaker 3: Your Way to Success.
Speaker 1: Having recently received a new job offer, I decided to
Speaker 1: write to the podcast we love It. I am a
Speaker 1: twenty eight year old black man working in the commercial
Speaker 1: construction industry as a cost estimator who my sister used
Speaker 1: to do this.
Speaker 3: Shout out to you, Carol.
Speaker 1: I earned both my BS Construction Management and Masters of
Speaker 1: Business and Administration degrees. From nc at A andt State University.
Speaker 1: We stand a smart black King. The commercial construction industry
Speaker 1: is a great field and it has yielded a rewarding
Speaker 1: career for me over the past seven years. However, it
Speaker 1: has been difficult to really tap into my earning potential
Speaker 1: and leveraging my MBA until recently. I received a job
Speaker 1: offer for the exact role at another company that will
Speaker 1: increase my annual salary by twenty two percent, but I
Speaker 1: would be leaving a What is that?
Speaker 3: I said, Yeah, but.
Speaker 1: I would be leaving but I would be leaving a
Speaker 1: company that I recently transitioned to in February of this year.
Speaker 1: For context purposes, my current role was a result of
Speaker 1: me leaving a toxic and unhealthy work environment, so I
Speaker 1: compromise on company provided benefits and pay. Okay, but I'm
Speaker 1: glad you took care of yourself. The most recent job
Speaker 1: offer was presented to me on eight ten, twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: and I had to deliver a decision by eight twelve
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two. During the forty eight hours I
Speaker 1: was given, I thoroughly reviewed the offer and the accompany
Speaker 1: employee benefits package. I also shared the offer with a
Speaker 1: trusted colleague for any additional input or feedback in regards
Speaker 1: to the offer being made. I asked all the questions
Speaker 1: that needed to be addressed, and I ultimately decided to
Speaker 1: accept the offer. If my resignation is not received well
Speaker 1: by my current employer, should I feel any guilt or
Speaker 1: with this decision to transfer to transition after six months
Speaker 1: reflect poorly on me. I'm waiting until my six month
Speaker 1: probationary period ends before starting my new role so I'm
Speaker 1: able to keep my five K sign on bonus. So
Speaker 1: there is no and there is no sign on bonus
Speaker 1: being offered by my new employer.
Speaker 3: Thank you, THEO. This is se thorough.
Speaker 1: We can see why you do this, you know because
Speaker 1: I know exactly the job because my sister used to
Speaker 1: do this. We see why you are because the job
Speaker 1: that you do you have to be so so thorough.
Speaker 1: So we see how you're a cost estimator out on
Speaker 1: those coins and pennies. Okay, so what you say, man, joy,
Speaker 1: this is such a great letter.
Speaker 2: I picture him with like a little pencil behind his ear.
Speaker 3: Yes, a hard pants like glasses.
Speaker 2: You.
Speaker 3: I love it, THEO.
Speaker 2: You are our core audience, just like a beautiful black king,
Speaker 2: like Tiffany said, trying to collect the coins. So, first
Speaker 2: of all, congratulations on you know, negotiating this new offer
Speaker 2: and getting a twenty two percent raise. I understand the
Speaker 2: core question is, like, I just came here six months ago,
Speaker 2: and now I'm about to leave, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: do it like the day after my six month probationary period,
Speaker 2: and so I can keep that five thousand dollars. Listen,
Speaker 2: often in your career, when you make choices that are
Speaker 2: to your own benefit, other people will be inconvenienced. Will
Speaker 2: they be annoyed at you for leaving just six months
Speaker 2: in the day after your probationary period ends, with your
Speaker 2: with their five thousand dollars in your pocket? Will they
Speaker 2: be annoyed?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 2: That being said, I think that if you are genuinely
Speaker 2: determined to leave, like you have to ask yourself this.
Speaker 2: If they try to counter this other offer and if
Speaker 2: they say match it. For example, if they just say, hey,
Speaker 2: we'll give you twenty two percent more like you wanted
Speaker 2: and try to keep you to stay, Like, what's your
Speaker 2: answer going to be? Do you do you want to leave?
Speaker 2: Are you done and want to move on? Or would
Speaker 2: you be willing to stay, because I think you need
Speaker 2: to go into that conversation knowing if there's an opportunity,
Speaker 2: so you can set their expectations. So when you approach
Speaker 2: that conversation and let's say that you are done, like
Speaker 2: you really want to take this new job, there's nothing
Speaker 2: that they could say to sway you. Then it's all
Speaker 2: about being super compassionate and super honest about the reasons
Speaker 2: why you're leaving, and kind of trying to explain to them, hey,
Speaker 2: I've really enjoyed working at this company. This is when
Speaker 2: I get into my script motip. They're always has the scripts.
Speaker 2: I've really enjoyed my time at this company. However, I
Speaker 2: have had an offer from another firm, and in addition
Speaker 2: to offering a more generous compensation package that would give
Speaker 2: me a twenty two percent raise. I have to be honest,
Speaker 2: you know this other opportunity, and then tell them what
Speaker 2: it is about this other opportunity that has attracted you.
Speaker 2: You don't have to like go on and on and
Speaker 2: on about it, but like help them understand why you
Speaker 2: would be leaving after six months, and as long as
Speaker 2: you're being honest and the story makes sense, and they
Speaker 2: can kind of compute it then they and if you
Speaker 2: genuinely want to leave, there's not much they They can't
Speaker 2: force you to stay. So I think if you just
Speaker 2: explain it in that way, you know, thoughtfully and compassionately,
Speaker 2: that they should understand. It may reflect a little bit
Speaker 2: poorly on you that you were, you know, only stuck
Speaker 2: around for those six months, but you can't really control
Speaker 2: at the end of the day how they feel about
Speaker 2: you leaving. You can only kind of make peace with
Speaker 2: I gave them six months of my hardest effort, my
Speaker 2: best work, and I did what I came here to do.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm choosing a new opportunity for me
Speaker 2: that will benefit me professionally, and that's the name of
Speaker 2: the game, you know. So just make your peace with
Speaker 2: it and and move on, and don't do it in
Speaker 2: such a way that, yeah, you would burn too many
Speaker 2: bridges on the way out.
Speaker 1: No, I love that, and that I would say as
Speaker 1: an employer, if someone who came to me, you know,
Speaker 1: it depends how I feel about it. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: If they were in a social employee, I'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: we wish you well, girl, you know. But if they
Speaker 1: were like a rock Star employee. Absolutely I would counter
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, oh, man, like, you know, what
Speaker 1: can we do? And even if they decided not to stay,
Speaker 1: I would relative in the feedback because what can I
Speaker 1: do to create a better environment where Rockstar employees want
Speaker 1: to stay? Because we create an environment where they thrive,
Speaker 1: they're paid well, they feel respected or whatever.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: So you know, but ultimately, I mean it's business, because
Speaker 1: I mean I had to let go of a lot
Speaker 1: of people earlier this year and so and it was
Speaker 1: really hard. But I also had to remind myself I'm
Speaker 1: running a business like that. I'm wanting to run a
Speaker 1: business with compassion, with care, with all of those things.
Speaker 1: But if if the business goes down, everybody's out of
Speaker 1: a job, you know, And so believe me, your job
Speaker 1: thinks about it like that and thinks about you like that,
Speaker 1: even if it's a great working environment, that ultimately they're
Speaker 1: in business. And so I try to remember that on
Speaker 1: my end, that I'm in business. But then also employees
Speaker 1: get to also say this is a business, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I don't owe somebody my whole life,
Speaker 1: you know, Like if I am allowed to choose what's
Speaker 1: best for me, because rest assured the business is going
Speaker 1: to choose.
Speaker 3: What's best for the business, and so like, yeah, man.
Speaker 2: I went back and yeah, I went back and read
Speaker 2: his question again, and here's what I'll say. Remember when
Speaker 2: I said, like, you have to kind of know going
Speaker 2: to that conversation what you want out of it and
Speaker 2: if you're willing to walk away no matter what they say.
Speaker 2: He said, specifically, I've received a job offer for the
Speaker 2: exact role at another company that will increase my salary
Speaker 2: by twenty two percent. And I think in this case
Speaker 2: it's the exact same role. I feel like you would
Speaker 2: be open to them countering. And I think that it's
Speaker 2: if you walk into that conversation saying, hey, like so
Speaker 2: it's a whole different conversation. If you would be open
Speaker 2: to them countering, then this is what I would say.
Speaker 2: I would say, And this isn't my new guide nail
Speaker 2: the negotiation, which you can get made money dot com.
Speaker 2: I have an exact scenario like this where you walk
Speaker 2: to you say in person or on the phone, and
Speaker 2: you say, hey, you know, I've really enjoyed my time here.
Speaker 2: I've learned so much, but I have to be honest
Speaker 2: I've received an offer from a competing firm and they've
Speaker 2: offered me a twenty two percent compensation increase for doing
Speaker 2: very similar work. I would love to stay with this firm, honestly,
Speaker 2: and I want to give you guys an opportunity to counter.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to give you a chance to, you know,
Speaker 2: hear me out and let me know if you're able
Speaker 2: to match this offer and then shut up and stop
Speaker 2: talking and let them fill in the silence and take
Speaker 2: that offer to HR and see what they have to say,
Speaker 2: because they may just say, you know, it's expensive to
Speaker 2: go out and hire someone to replace you, and they
Speaker 2: just they just got you in February, right, So I
Speaker 2: think you may be surprised that they may come back
Speaker 2: and counter. And I would definitely love a follow up
Speaker 2: THEO know, if you've had this conversation yet, and if
Speaker 2: you have, how did it go and what happened? I
Speaker 2: would be I feel like maybe they'll counter, and if
Speaker 2: they do that, maybe you don't have to leave, because
Speaker 2: if it's purely financial that's the reason for you leaving,
Speaker 2: then maybe they'll just like make you good on the
Speaker 2: money front and you can stick around, and hey, you
Speaker 2: just prove one of the best ways to get a
Speaker 2: raise is always interviewing.
Speaker 3: Amen to that always to you maybe had.
Speaker 1: A little slight plug, but we need a heavy plugs
Speaker 1: that girl. So Mandy has a new resource.
Speaker 3: What is it called.
Speaker 2: It's called Nail the Negotiation nineteen scripts to help you
Speaker 2: secure the bag.
Speaker 1: Yes, and so especially, I mean if you're a b
Speaker 1: a listener, it's got to be like just a perfect
Speaker 1: tool for you, even if you have a business. Mandy
Speaker 1: and I were talking offline and she's like, oh, if
Speaker 1: I told her I was excited to go to mandymaandimoney
Speaker 1: dot com to like secure my own copy. And she's like, well,
Speaker 1: it's not really for business negotiations. To Mandy that like,
Speaker 1: one thing I've learned in business is that a skill
Speaker 1: bill sets a skill set as a skill set. The
Speaker 1: reason why I am good at teaching as the budgetista
Speaker 1: is because I was a preschool teacher. Because there's a
Speaker 1: skill set I honed about teaching and negotiating. Negotiating is
Speaker 1: a skill set that I struggle with. And that although
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the scripts are like you know about
Speaker 1: like jobs and things, No, no, no, no, there's a
Speaker 1: skill set there that I can glean from. This is
Speaker 1: how you negotiate, this is the tone, here's some of
Speaker 1: the phrasing here. So I'm excited to get that Randy
Speaker 1: Mandy's resource because I'm just like no girl. You know,
Speaker 1: even as a business owner, I struggle with sometimes illustrating
Speaker 1: my own OPRAH to brands and companies who want to
Speaker 1: hire me, who say they don't have the budget or whatever.
Speaker 1: And it's like, Okay, I know from this resource that
Speaker 1: I can lean in and be like, oh, if this
Speaker 1: was a job opportunity, I would say this, how do
Speaker 1: I flip it a little bit for this opportunity for
Speaker 1: being hired to be a speaker or whatever. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so mandymoney dot com, nail the negotiating negotiations. What is it?
Speaker 2: Nail the negotiations, Nail the negotiation. Nineteen scripts that you
