- An audio elaboration of this Threads/X thought or idea I just posted:
“Getting a percentage-based pay model is key. A fixed salary can cap your growth.”
- from TikTok LIVE #67 Podcast
Early-career professionals are starting to think critically about compensation and equity. This speaks directly to their future—many don’t realize until too late how much their income potential is shaped by the contracts they sign.
Percentage-Based Pay > Fixed Salary
Fixed salaries reward consistency but punish growth. In private practice, your value is often tied to production—percentage-based models allow high performers to scale their income.
Reflect on where you’re capped in life—time, energy, earnings—and consider what systems or models could allow exponential growth.
“If you want limitless potential, don’t settle for limited models.”
