HOW TO DOUBLE OR TRIPLE YOUR INCOME IN 3 YEARS
Are
you really satisfied with your present level of income? Or if it were possible,
would you want to increase or even multiply it? Whatever is the level of your income
now, know that you can double or triple it in the next three years or less.
Interestingly,
this can happen while you still work the same amount of hours. The
secret I’m about to reveal works whether it is in your office, company, or
private business.
The
truth we can’t run away from is that nobody loves poverty; everybody wants more
and more money. Dennis Kimbro writes that nothing man has ever invented has
received so much attention, is so widely sought, and generates so much
controversy, as money. Though everyone wants more money, yet most people look
for it in the wrong places.
It
is important to hear this, our individual levels of income at present is
proportional to our individual degree of contribution to life. True wealth is a
response to a person’s impact on humanity. So the income we earn now is what we
determined consciously or unconsciously for ourselves over the years. We’ll
soon see how we can make more and more income, far beyond what we’re making now.
Income
can be earned such
as salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, tips, etc. Even profits from operating your business or farm are also earned income.
Income,
strictly speaking, shouldn’t be determined by how many hours you put in every
day. For instance, even though some people spend eight hours in the office, it
may be only three that are really productive. The other five may be spent on
moving from office to office, visiting and chatting with friends, and so on. That
way, they daily waste five hours of adding value.
Let’s
assume that you’re a staff and that you even use eight hours at work without
wasting it any day. If you invest this amount of time each day, say for seven
years, without increasing your value and hence the value you add in the
workplace, you’ve only invested one
year’s experience, repeated seven times.
How
then can you increase the value you deliver within these eight hours of work over
the seven years? In other words, how can you become two or three times, or even
four times more valuable within the same eight hours of work each day and for the
seven years? The answer is self-development.
What you become greatly affects what
you get. Jim Rohn says “To have more than you’ve got, become
more than you are.” To earn more income than you earn now, become a far more
developed person than you are now. That means more in ideas, more in knowledge,
and more in habits of productivity. In fact, more in creativity, innovation,
skills, and in adding value.
3 Tips on Increasing Your Income Many
Times In A Short Period
(1)
Know that there is an active law of
earning more income: The law of
earning more income, or in short, the
law of income, has been there for centuries. It has not changed. It has
stood the test of time. This law states that, “You’ll be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according
to the marketplace.”
(2)
You must decide to increase your value
several times: It is important to
know that trading time for money ever
limits the amount or income you receive. Time is fixed, you can’t increase
it from 24 hours a day, out of which an average of eight is used in
money-producing work. The key then to continually
increasing your income is increasing your value.
Taking
the decision to do so is imperative. It requires scheduling days and time you
must read, listen to CDs, or watch VCDs, or videos on YouTube, that are
relevant to increasing your value. This is certainly the path to lifting the
limit on your income.
(3)
You must actually embark on
self-development: Rohn says that “income
rarely exceeds personal development.” Self-development implies going to
work on yourself: your mind (thoughts), emotions, attitude, mentality, habits, and
so on. It means there is something new you must constantly know through study,
learning, reading, and so on. Otherwise, you’re like the Dead Sea, stagnant
water that neither takes in nor gives out.
Fortunately
for all of us, the Internet and the Digital Age has made study and learning so
easy. You don’t necessarily need to keep going to the university to acquire
strings of degrees to get double, triple or quadruple your income. Rather, you
can keep getting information and knowledge from the Internet on any area you
want to increase your worth in terms of what value to increasingly add.
There’re also many books written on virtually every aspect of life. You must go
for relevant information.
The
way this life works is that when you’ve developed yourself far beyond your
present level on your inside, somehow, opportunities will present themselves
that will move you to the next level of new, commensurate income. That’s why
you see some people changing jobs, getting accelerated promotions, sometimes up
to two or three within one year, being transferred to better places, beginning
their own businesses, and so on.
This
law of doubling or tripling your income is no respecter of persons. Make good
use of it.
