On this second part of our two-part series on the topic of underearning, I have a special treat for all of you. I am talking to two of my students – Bev Aron and Deb Butler – about money, the mentality that keeps us stuck, and mastering the skill of outearning yourself.

Bev and Deb started out in their careers as chronic underearners, although most people would never categorize them as such because they had "plenty of money." After becoming Master Life Coaches with The Life Coach School, they weren't able to break the six-figure mark for some time, until recently.

One of the things that I notice about my students is that they have a lot of thoughts about their thoughts. They create models about their thoughts – they have models about their models.
