Give Yourself a Raise - THIS MONTH!

What is your value to your organization?  I remember when my wife Kim and I  started in the profession and one of our mentors told us that we can increase our total earnings by continually working on ourselves which in turn will bring more value to our group.  We started to realize that if our check rose faster than our personal development and/or skillsets by accident,  it would quickly settle back down because our check cannot outpace our value we bring.

Wow, think about that for a minute.  In economic times when there is so much uncertainty we have the luxury of being able to give ourselves a raise.  Too many people hear stories of large checks and success and think it’s a “get rich quick situation”.  It couldn’t be farther from the truth.  If you see a leader with huge success and a large check, you will see a leader that works on themselves nonstop.

By nonstop I mean doing things like:

• ·       Reading 15 minutes in the morning and night in an area that is improving our skills in this business or an area of our personal life.
• ·       Listening to books on tape while driving.
• ·       Watching videos online that have to do with our industry

The beauty is that there are mounds and mounds of people that have done what you are looking to do and all you need to do is reach out, buy their valuable information…even speak to them.  One of my sponsors that I learned too much to list was someone I reached out to get mentoring from.  Another mentor and author in our industry has become great friends and added huge amounts of value to Kim and I which we in turn could pass along to our groups.

Give yourself a raise!
