How do you currently get paid?  Is it for your time (salary or hourly) or is it for the results you produce?  The latter always produces a more productive work force and more money in your pocket.

Paid for your time (the greatest risk and smallest reward):

Think hourly laborer or salaried employee…

- you only get paid if you show up

- no matter how hard you work the pay is the same for each hour

- benefits are usually low or non existent

- if you get sick or your child gets sick and you cannot work you don’t get paid

- you do not control your destiny

Getting paid for what you produce (still risky but huge reward):

Think sales people, executives, and entrepreneurs…

- you get paid for the results you produce

- the harder you work the more money you make

- you have control over your time and how you spend it

- you can work smarter and not harder and enjoy more freedom

Find a way to put yourself in a position to get paid for your results, not for your time.  You will have more control and best of all you will have more $$$$.
