Transfer this to a card or something where you can put it up. Where you can see it every day. Preferably, put it up where you can see it at the beginning of the day. Before you go up to put the day together, this is a good phrase just to glance at, to keep in mind as you’re putting the day together. If you’ll just let this talk to you during the day, you will find it tremendously helpful.
The major key to your better future is you.
Ever wondered why two people could work for the same company and yet one makes twice as much money? Maybe, they are even in the same age, graduated from the same school, live in the same community, work for the same company with the same product in the same services. They’ve got the same traffic, the same problems and yet, one makes a thousand a month and the other one makes two thousand a month.
Isn’t that a puzzling question?
Why would this long list be the same and the money twice as much? Why would one person do twice as well or three times as well speaking economically? Ofcourse, there’s more than one way to do well but in this little narrow area called compensation, what’s the difference?
You can say that some people do better because they have more time. If you think that by having some extra time you can make some extra money, then forget it because there isn’t any extra time. Now, if you can’t get more time which you can’t, what could you get more of it would make a difference in economic results.
Create more VALUE.
You can’t get more time but you can create more value.
The first lesson of economics everybody should learn from the time they’re old enough is to understand what a dollar means, how to earn one, how to get one, how to keep one, what to do with it. First lesson of economics we should be taught is that we get paid for value.
Bringing value to the marketplace – that’s how you get paid.
You don’t get paid for the time. It sure takes time to bring value to the marketplace but you get paid for the value not the time. Is it possible to become twice as valuable at the marketplace and make twice as much money in the same time? Could you become three times as valuable and make three times as much money in the same time? The answer is yes. If you go to work primarily on yourself.
Learn to work primarily on yourself.
To develop an above-average income you need to become an above-average person.
Develop an above-average handshake.
Develop an above-average smile.
Develop an above-average excitement.
Develop an above-average interest in other people.
Develop an above-average intensity to win.
That will change everything. Probably one of the most frustrating experiences in life is looking for an above average job with above-average pay without becoming an above average person.
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
For things to change for you, you’ve got to change.
Don’t hope things will change. The only way it gets better for you is when you get better.
