Wealthy People Choose to Get Paid Based on Results, Not Number of Hours Worked

by Travis Winn Business and Marketing Coach Take a quick overview of the prosperous folks you know. Are they working for an hourly wage? I highly doubt it. The rich and abundant folks of the world rarely get to where they are by trading their time for cash. Think about it. We each only have 24 hours a day to work with. If you are working a JOB, you are trading your time for dollars. The biggest problem with this is simple.....YOU CAN ONLY SPEND SO MUCH TIME!

If you are working for an hourly wage, you are not putting yourself in the position to achieve financial freedom, let alone build wealth. There is a limited number of hours that you can work each day, week, and month. Therefore, there is a huge ceiling on the income that you are able to earn.

So what else can you do? Well let's take a look at the abundant, apparently they know something that the masses do not. How do the abundant get wealthy? You will notice that the vast majority of abundant folks work for themselves. This may come in a variety of occupations. Many of them own their own businesses, get paid commissions, have investments that generate them dollars, and they often have passive revenue streams set up that earn them dollars whether they are working or spending a day at Disneyland. The bottom line is this......RICH people earn money based on their performance....NOT TIME!

Everyone feels that they should get paid what they deserve, what they are really worth. Can this happen with a job? Of course not. A job only pays you a small fraction of the value that you are adding to the company. That is why the entrepreneurs are the ones who are getting rich, not the employees. If you got paid what you are worth, the business would see no profits. They make money by employing folks to create revenue for the company, and they pay the employees a small fraction.

So is it hopeless? Can you ever make the move from working a 9-5 job, over to the ranks of the biz owners? Well of course you can, anyone can. Anyone can make that transition, and folks all over the world are doing so on a daily basis. And it doesn't require a large capital investment or 20 years of "moving up the ladder." All it takes is the desire.....and the Self assurance to actually make the move.

Confidence is the real factor that separates the "could have's" and the "doers." As I said, most rich folks work for themselves, which means that they get paid based on the results they achieve. This take courage. Nothing is guaranteed. Many folks fall into the "steady paycheck rut." What's hard about a rut? Well the longer you're in one, the deeper it gets, and your shots of escaping get smaller and smaller. It's comfortable to know exactly when you are gonna get paid and exactly how much. But is "comfortable" all you ever want to achieve? Are you satisfied with just getting by? From what I hear on a daily basis, most folks want more. folks want freedom, they want riches, and they want control over their future.
