Have you ever wondered why someone with the same job description as yours is earning more than you?
It’s not about working harder;
It is about working smarter.
I know of two healthcare managers overseeing hospital operations, managing staff, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
The same organisation.
The same role.
However, one makes £80,000 yearly, while the other makes £120,000.
Do you know why?
The difference lies in certification.
The second manager has an MBA credential.
And when it is time for someone to head the department, the second would be preferred.
Certification is not just a piece of paper;
It proves advanced skills, more profound knowledge, and a commitment to professional growth.
It’s not just about money;
It’s about maximising the impact of your hours.
