Living a High Income Life is a Matter of Choice

Living a High Income Life is a Matter of Choice

One of the most difficult things to do as a person is to self-evaluate. Examining our own lives is harrowing because we are sometimes too hard on ourselves when we fall short of doing something we want. Ultimately, living a high income life is a matter of choice, not chance.

If you have ever wondered what separated some wealthy individuals from some blue collar or working class people, the answer may startle you. If such a survey existed, you would find that the wealthy cross-section of subjects had a moment in their lives where they made a choice to go after or do something that would set them up financially.

That is right; wealthy people chose to do certain things that would lead to financial success. Some of the other, less affluent members of the study would show that they made a choice, or series of choices, to be in the place that they are in financially. While we would not make generalizations about one group or the other, if there were a study like this, it would probably turn out this way.

Imagine that. What would happen if average, everyday people figured out that they could change their financial standing simply by choosing to do so? Would the world suddenly be filled with overnight millionaires? Of course not. Unfortunately, many people may hear of this discovery and never take action.

That is possibly the key to this whole process. The wealthy would have chosen to be wealthy, they chose a plan of action to get to that place, and most importantly, they acted on it. They were not overly concerned with failure, because they came into this scenario having nothing to begin with.

Even for those who are affluent already, they too make choices that affect whether they remain wealthy. Truly wealthy people who have worked hard will tell you that climbing to the top of the mountain is a lot easier than staying there. With that in mind, we must remember the habits we learned that helped us to get where we are.

There are three basic components in the “choose a high income life” philosophy. Before beginning the journey of what could be, we should have formed a plan, made some long-range and short-range goals, and we should be willing to self-reflect as directed.

The first component in living a high income life is to simply choose a life of financial reward rather than accepting less. We are always able to give great advice to others, but we seem a little powerless to self-evaluate and take our own advice. Still, wealthy people choose to make things work, even when others stand in the way.

The second component in living a high income life would be choosing a course of action that moved your life toward financial success.

The last but most important step would be to move and actually get started on accomplishing the goal. Without action, no amount of goal setting, positive thinking or good intentions will give you the high income life you seek.

Three Ways to Double Your Income

Three Ways to Double Your Income

The global economic crisis has sent many of us searching for ways to supplement our incomes. Unemployment rates are at an all-time high and traditional methods of generating income are getting harder to come by. Here are a few ways to double your income with minimal effort or skill required.

There are no hidden tricks or gimmicks that apply to unlocking untapped wealth. The truth is following a few simple guidelines will do wonders to help you realize financial freedoms you may think are unattainable.

Method number one: Become an expert at setting and meeting goals. Many of us may already understand this principle, but some of us may not be maximizing our achievement due to the way we set our goals.

First, set small benchmarks that are steps or action items toward the end goal or result. Make sure these benchmarks or mini-goals are easily attainable. Second, make sure the end goal and the benchmarks are measurable. Third, write the goals down so that they can be used as a daily reminder of the changes being made.

Method number two: Choose a career doing something you love. Again, many of us may be fully aware of a passion or love we have for something, but we do not understand how powerful it can be.

There have been studies that have shown how people who are involved in a field that they are truly passionate about are more productive, healthier and enjoy higher financial returns.

While it may not seem practical to change careers in mid-stream, discovering ways to live and or work in one’s passion can be the first steps toward financial success. Small steps toward your passion can lead to a larger change over time.

Method number three: Become an expert at taking action. Mastering the art of goal setting and knowing what your passion is will not affect the overall changes you seek-action will.

If you were on a boat going north and you steered the craft even one degree to the right or left, sooner or later you will be going south. This change of direction was not caused by doing nothing; it was caused because you took action and began the process of changing direction.

In fact, taking action may be the most important step in doubling your income or anything else. Simply writing down a goal or finding your life’s passion will remain like ships in the distance if there is no action taken.

It should be obvious to you by now that the most effective way to double your income is to make changes in your every day life, and to take action to affect those changes. There is no magic bullet in accomplishing this task, only the action you take toward accomplishing the goals.

Even the smallest steps to that end will have a dramatic effect on your financial outlook. Beyond goal setting or even having a healthy passion for life, reaching financial goals will have a positive impact on your self esteem, which will make you healthy, wealthy and wise.

A Simple Way to Double Your Income

A Simple Way to Double Your Income

The Internet is loaded with books, DVDs, podcasts, and many other media forms that promise to reveal money making secrets. There are many ways to make money and some are more successful than others. One simple way to double your income is to do what you love.

At first glance, making more money by doing something you truly enjoy seems like an idea that is fun to hear, but not practical for most people. As you examine further, you will discover that using this method to double your income may be a practical and powerful method to gaining financial freedom.

The first thing you need to do is change the way you think. Most people believe that certain things we do for money, like work, and other things we do for fun, like watch sports. This may be true, but have you ever asked yourself why you could not work doing something you love?

Take a moment and think about something you really enjoy. Now that you have it in your head, look at that thing as an idea or opportunity to work in a field that involves what you are thinking of. For example, if you love watching sports, think of ways you can get paid to watch sports.

In that example, there are literally hundreds of ways to earn money by watching sports. Become a sports writer, or freelance photographer. You can work for a professional sports team. Work at a local school as a coach, or open a sports bar if you are an entrepreneur.

The idea is that by looking at that thing you love in a different way, you can discover the unlimited possibilities for earning money while doing something you love. This can eventually lead to making more money than you could have ever imagined.

The most important factor in doing what you love and ways to double your income is that we are at our absolute best when engaged in activities we enjoy. Think about it: How great would it be to wake up in the morning and know that you are going to work, and you actually love what you do?

Would you be more productive if you were passionate about your work? Would you find yourself wanting to do more or go the extra mile because you truly enjoyed what you were working on?

The answer to both of those questions must be yes! This simple, two-step method can unlock a world of potential in you. People typically do not enjoy doing things they are not good at. Chances are, if you can identify something you are good at, and you love doing it, you can earn an income from it.

Being good at what you do because you love it can propel you to financial success very quickly. This is not a guarantee for success, but it is highly effective in connecting you with ways to think outside the box. Some of your greatest ideas come from something you love.

Remember, making a change is the first step in this process. Live your life intentionally. Choose to work, but work doing something you love. Be passionate about it, and soon you will double your income.

Double Your Income One Step at a Time

Double Your Income One Step at a Time

When someone wants to know the “secret” to double your income, I ask them, “What do you love?” It’s really that simple; you can double your income just by doing what you love. We’ve all heard the old adage, “Money can’t buy you love.” The truth is, it’s not about the $$$-it’s about what you want this money to do for you.

You figure out what you love to do and set a goal. Through Law of Attraction or neuro-linguistics or The Secret (whatever you’d like to call it), we can set our mind up for success one step at a time.

I decided to enter a 350-mile foot race to the magnetic North Pole. It was a lofty goal. I had one year to get there. So, for one month in April, I would be carrying a hundred-pound sled across the Arctic Ocean.

You do this in the month of April because it is too cold and not enough daylight in the months before. After that, the ice starts to melt, and you would never make it across without sinking into the ocean.

I decided to start my training regimen in my ten-storey condo. I thought to myself if I could carry that hundred pounds up steps, it would be easy to go across the flat ice surface with my sled. I decided to do this one step at a time.

The first day, I thought I was going to die. All I could do was climb a flight and a half and I was on the floor out of breath. I didn’t give up, though. It just took a little at a time. After a while, one day I finally did ten stories.

Let me tell you, by the time I got to 300 flights, I finally figured out what sweatbands were for. I was sweating so hard that the sweat would be burning my eyes. One day, I decided to try 1,000 at 4 P.M. on a Sunday afternoon. After a while, I figured out I could do it in 24 hours, then 12 hours, then 10 hours. Finally, I reached my goal in 9 hours and 51 minutes!

Can you imagine? From one year ago, I couldn’t get up a flight and a half! One of my favorite quotes from Pablo Picasso is, “action is the foundational key to all success.” Find something you actually love to do, and that will be the exercise that gets you to your goal.

Think about it this way. If you changed something 1% to reach your goal by doing what you loved, you just made a 100% change in your life. If you are in a boat on a body of water, and you make a 1% turn, you will completely change the direction your boat is going in a matter of about ten seconds! With this in mind, one step at a time can lead to an instant sense of gratification.

The key to double your income is to identify what you love. You can paste a million dollars up on your ceiling and wake up looking at it every morning; it’s clever… but it ain’t gonna work if you don’t take one step every day to accomplish your end goal.
