Never have a ceiling on your income.
- Work in an incentive based career.
- Get paid a percentage of revenue.
- Take the royalty rather than the money up front.
- Focus on ownership and getting paid in profits.
- Choose stock or stock options in lieu of higher salary.
It doesn’t matter what other people think about you. The opinions of others are irrelevant. The highest levels of success in whatever you do demand a strong self-image. Real leaders think for themselves.
We think everyone else has it all figured out, but they don’t. Everyone is testing, failing, trial and error, making it up as they go along. Some just have more courage to keep moving forward long enough until they hit on something big.
3 things without a doubt that will heavily influence success this year or any year: 1. Your habits. 2. The people you associate with. 3. The books you read.
Sad fact: Nothing pains people more than having to think. Your brain and your words are powerful forces. If you learn how to use your brain and words deliberately and thoughtfully people will give you what you want.
People will pay more for who you are rather than what you do. What you do is a commodity. But who you are is unique. How you do it is unique. You are an original never to be repeated.
Never let anyone make you feel like “wanting more” is a bad thing. As soon as you get complacent, it’s a wrap.
You can be grateful and ambitious at the same time.
It’s not about money making you happy. It’s the freedom that money creates that makes you happy.
Money is a commodity. A means for getting things done.
Don’t be afraid of the money. Be afraid of the outcomes that occur without it.
Much love and respect to any and everybody putting in work, pursuing a worthy goal, and on the grind for themselves and their family. You are already winning. 💯
