How To Increase Your Income, Make More Money and Become Financially Independent

financial-futureWould you like to make more money? Well, go to the nearest mirror and negotiate with your boss. The person in the mirror is the one who determines how much you earn. The person determines how well you do in your profession and how much you get paid for it. This is the first step towards learning how to increase your income and becoming financially independent.

 
Here’s an exercise for you to help you make more money:

On the first day of each month, take your finances book and write out the amount of money you want to earn that month and date it for the last day of that month. Sign it. Then, for the rest of the month, you concentrate on figuring out how you are going to make that money, just like a company’s president. If you have to increase your sales in order to increase your paycheck, your job is to figure out how to do it. You are the president. As the president of your own business, your current employer is your best client – you.

 
By making the decision to go from employee status to being the president of your own organization, you have made the critical decision to become the primary creative force in your own life and the ability to make more money. You no longer see yourself as a victim or a passive recipient of what happens in the economy. You are an active agent. You are in charge. You go out into the work place and you make your own life and your own living. You sell your services to the highest bidder and you deliver the very best services of which your personal sales corporation is possible.

 
Instead of waiting for things to happen, or hoping that things will happen, you instead make things happen. This is how to increase your income and how to become a millionaire in today’s working world. As the president of your own company, you are in charge of every activity of your business. You are in charge of sales, marketing, production, quality control, distribution, and administration. You are in charge of your own training department, constantly working on yourself to increase the value of what you do so that you can charge more for it in the marketplace. You are in charge of every aspect of your life both, both personal and professional.

 
How can you increase your income and become financially independent starting today? Here are three things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.

- First, make out a check to yourself for the amount of money you want to make next month. Then, make a plan of activities for achieving your goal.
- Second, break your monthly desired income down into daily and hourly rates of pay. Make sure that everything you do pays you your desired hourly rate.
- Third, get registered and become a distributor with Avenues to Wealth (A2W) this month. This is what I use to improve my income weekly.
