Why some people can make a six figure income easily, and you can't.

The American dream inspires people to thrive for a six figure income. Some people achieve it easily, and what appears to be instantaneously, while others struggle to make a measly few bucks working their bones to the ground while living paycheck to paycheck. The secret of the the six figure income is a mystery to most of the population. But the ones who have achieved it know that there are two simple principles to achieve the six figure income. It is not a mystery, it is a request, a desire and a driven belief that you will get the six figure income you desire. There are two ways you can achieve it. But you will have to take initiative on the exact desire, and drive to earn what you are worth. First let's look at the path which will give you the exact six figure income, or even multiple six figures you have always dreamed about. The first path that most people "try" first is the road where the employer pays you what they think you are worth. It comes at a price, a sacrifice that you will make to get what you think you are really worth. The second path is what most successful six figure income earners take after they have realized that the first path has boundaries and puts their financial future in the hands of another person. This second path is a road less traveled, but once traveled, most will never go back. If you have ever asked for a raise, you know having someone else dictate your income can be very disheartening, and make you feel like you have absolutely no control of your financial worth. It does take a lot to overcome this barrier, and have the employer you work for agree that you should be paid a high six figure income. To overcome that barrier, it takes time, and an effort on your part that is often missed by the average worker. You will have to exceed expectations of your employer by doing things above and beyond your job description. You will have to be at the right company that has a track record for paying their employees high six figure incomes. In some cases, it can take years to work your way up, but if you believe you deserve the six figure income, and you can show you deserve it, you will get it. Most people just stop at the job description, and don't think beyond to do what will help the employer. This technique works if you apply it consistently. You will have to sacrifice time, give up nights and weekends in most cases, and be patient. Usually it means doing a job before you are paid for the job. Although this technique works, and is done time and time again, it is not the quickest or smartest way to make a six figure income, or even multiple six figure income. Ask anyone who has achieved it, and moved on to better things. The real secret in achieving your dream of a six figure income is to be your own boss, and by using a business model that puts profits into your pocket. I warn you that not all business models, or ideas will let you achieve your income goal. You want to carefully select a proven system with six and seven figure earners that you can duplicate for yourself. Starting from scratch will take you longer, and most likely be in the 95% that fail. Even with a proven business model this process still takes time, and with the right business opportunity could be cut down to 3, 6, of 12 months instead of years in the corporate world. This does take effort, but anything worth while does. You have to be disciplined and follow the exact system six figure entrepreneurs do to make their businesses successful. You want to be wary of the businesses that require you to work 12-16 hour days in exchange for this six figure income. If you don't have the free time to enjoy the money, it isn't leveraging your effort. You want to look for a business model that allows you time freedom to do your business from anywhere, at any time. You want high profits, low overhead, and an integrated marketing system that will work for you 24/7. You want to have an education platform that will teach you every thing you need to know about running a successful business. Take all of these considerations seriously, it could be the difference in your success or failure. The ideal situation I have found, after many mistakes, is a complete business model with all of these elements together in one place. This allows you to focus on what makes you money, and leverage your time. Once this is done properly, you will find that your income will exceed your original expectation. You will find that you have the potential to earn six figures, multiple six figures, and even seven figures if you are really driven. Both of these paths are not for the weak. This process is for someone who is driven, and sick of being underpaid for what they are really worth. You have to take a stand, and control your destiny. If you choose to have an employer pay you a six figure income, do what it takes. If you choose to be your own boss, be smart, and work smarter, not harder. Six figure incomes are achieved everyday. Is it your turn to get paid what you are worth?

Re: Product innovation can discourage counterfeits - It's rather sad that people just have to figure out how they can make money by cheating rather than by honest hard work, whether it's counterfeiting money, or tennis rackets, or whatever. I've always heard the cliche of Rolex watches being easily counterfeited.... for that matter I've never understood anyone paying $1,000 or even $2,000 for a watch when a $10 watch keeps just as good time!
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - Hi there, I have been listening to lectures and interviews ie SMM, I have come to the following conclusion: In order to be of benefit, it needs to attract a large number of people. Certainly it has to reach the six figure mark. If we have a struggle to get 20 people voting for or against, how can we attract that sort of figure. Of course I know, it grows by word of mouth, email and basic internet with its various tools. It can't just happen, that people stumble upon the SMM, it needs a clear strategy. It has to be attractive too, or else it just will doodle along. It demands a lot of planning, it may need sponsors to make it viable. Properly done, it can be a money spinner. All the best.
Re: Web Business Podcast is LIVE! :) - This might be a stupid question and something I could figure out very easily, but I am going to ask it anyway... How do you get something on iTunes, such as you have done with your podcasts? Is there somewhere you can submit them or what?
Re: Proper pricing & profit margins - [quote="BuzzAroundBooks":pchmjytu]If you were buying products to re-sell on eBay or elsewhere, what kind of profit margins should you look for? More specifically, how much would you charge above cost to make the venture worth your while? I recently sold an item which had a 14% profit margin. Is that good or too low?[/quote:pchmjytu] With ebay one thing you need to consider is what price are you likely to get. If there are 200 people trying to sell a similar or identical item - you aren't going to get substantially more than they are asking. In turn, if you have the only one of an item, then you can ask for more - doesn't mean you're going to get it, but at least you can try. You need to determine how much you want to be compensated for your time and whether you need to sell the item or if you can let it sit around while you wait for a buyer who is willing to pay a higher price. You also need to figure how much you're going to need to pay in listing fees each week while you wait on the item to sell. The percentage could easily fluctuate depending on the overall value or price of the item. You can also take it to an ebay reseller and see if you would make just as much without the additional hassle of listing and sending it yourself. Depends on what you want out of the sale and what you're selling. Chris
Dealing with businesses that won't pay... - Hello Everyone I'm currently stuck in a situation as a sub contractor where the business I completed work for (up to 3 months ago) has not paid my last 2 invoices. They are now saying that if I complete a 3rd job it will give them some more income to pay me. What would you do in my situation? I have thought about saying "Would you mind paying at least ONE of my invoices first?" but it would most likely sour the relationship as he has told me "the business is trying to get some income quickly as you know so could you do this job to help me out" but this time I'm not quite convinced. The last invoice was for their web hosting and I could easily turn off their business by the click of a mouse but I know that would definitely turn things sour. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Cheers R
