"If I had a dollar for every....."
In the interest of greater economic independence, let's talk about ways to increase your income.
We'll start by looking at a fairly traditional way to increase your income, then expand to the less conventional possibilities.
• Get a raise for your current position
Go to the person who approves raises and ask him/her what it would take for you to get one. Ask about the raise you could expect, based on specific performance activity during a certain period of time. Let the person know what you are willing to do to increase your value by developing your personal or leadership skills.
Take A Minute:
What ways have you thought of to increase your income? Are you limiting yourself based on your education, skills or the job market? Or have you found creative ways to access the abundance of wealth that exists?
Make A Minute:
Brainstorm at least one way you could increase your income. Decide what actions to take to investigate or incorporate this possibility, schedule them, and record the results once you've taken the actions.
Compensation comes in many forms. Let your curiosity lead you to inventive ways to accomplish what's in your financial plan.
