Are you looking to increase your income?  Here are some simple steps to get you started.

1. Stop Doing What You’re Doing

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” If you aren’t satisfied, you need to drop what you are doing and try something else.

Life gives you second chances so you can completely turn your life around in a blink of an eye. No matter how many mistakes you have made before, the next decision can be the right one.

Finances and self worth are not connected at all. No matter how much you have in your bank account you always need to remain confident in yourself. Actually your confidence should increase while stressed so you are motivated to never feel that way again.

Money does not define you.

Make sure you are only spending what your income allows you to. To prioritize you should only spend about 20% of your income on activities.

Putting those things into your daily life consistently will result to a higher income.

4. Start Placing a Higher Value on Your Time

Time is more precious then money in any circumstance. You can never replenish time but you can replenish your bank account. There are so many ways to double your income in the same amount of time it took to make your starting income. Every one has the same 24 hours in day, it’s what you do with them that sets you apart from everyone else.

It’s okay to say no sometimes. Do not overwhelm yourself by taking too many tasks. Say “no” to everything that does not help you to increase your income or help you succeed. Focus on what is important, like your goal to increase your income.

6. Proximity is Power

Many people are in the same social group as people of the same income level. Surround 

yourself with people with a higher income then you.

Spending time with higher income people will help you to see what you will become. when you are around people for extended amount of times their belief systems, and actions become contagious. Surrounding yourself with people who hold you accountable is a lot more productive then surrounding yourself with people who let you off the hook.
