Here is a question for you. Do you get paid for your time, or for your value? If you are an employee you get paid for your time in almost all situations. If you are compensated for your time it is unlikely you get paid what you are worth.

In an interesting study done by the Social Security- Bureau of Labor statistics studied 100 people who started work at age 25. By retirement age; 63% were dependent on social security, charity or family members, 1% were percent wealthy, 29 % were dead, 3% were still working, and 4% had the accumulated capital for retirement. Only 5% achieved some level of financial success after 40 years of working!

So realize it doesn’t matter if you keep your head down and work hard for 40 years, the chance of you retiring wealthy is relatively small when you get paid for your time. Here is the funny thing; wealth is not necessarily created from working hard! Wealth comes from making yourself into a person of value.

Here I will use the example of network marketing as a path to get paid what you are worth. How is a valuable network marketer defined? Certainly they don’t get paid for their time it’s for their sales! To do this they will have spent time changing who they are. This means they read different books, hang around with different people, and shift old mind patterns to new supportive ones. They question their viewpoints about life, the government and even their family and are open to new ideas. Successful network marketers grow; they challenge themselves and are willing to do what it takes to move beyond huge obstacles. Every time an obstacle is surmounted they have gained more courage and therefore value. They are detached from difficult people, things and circumstances that immobilize others. In essence a valuable network marketer is an enthusiastic leader who makes a great income, loves to teach and influence others to become valuable problem solvers.

You must be willing to do all of these things if you want to stop trading you time for money. This requires you to be “self motivated”. You must stop looking to others for direction and start directing yourself, making firm decisions that you don’t waffle over. Self motivation is not taught in schools. It means you are productive, not busy. You make it a failsafe habit to do these productive things every day. Your passion is followed up by consistent action.
When you are committed to this process “no matter what” you are likely to find yourself wealthy one day. Remember; be detached, you won’t know when that day will be! Along with the wealth you will also have some other great side benefits. You will attract other success minded enthusiastic people who want to work with you. Best of all, you will love your work.
I wish you all the success in the world!
