This is GUARANTEED to Increase Your Income
You want to make more money. Everyone does. But here’s the thing most people get wrong—they focus on quick fixes instead of long-term, game-changing moves.
They jump from job to job chasing small raises, try to hack their way into a better salary, or start side hustles that barely move the needle.
If you REALLY want to increase your income—not just this year, but for decades—you need to focus on one thing: building career capital.
Career capital is what separates the top 1% from everyone else. It’s the rare and valuable skills, experiences, and connections that make you irreplaceable.
And when you’re irreplaceable, you don’t chase money—money chases you.
Here’s how you build it.
1. Become the Best at Something People Value
People don’t pay for average. They pay for expertise. The fastest way to build career capital is to become the best at something that matters in your industry.
- If you’re in sales, master high-ticket selling.
- If you’re in tech, get deep into AI, cybersecurity, or automation.
- If you’re a creator, build an audience and learn monetization strategies.
Pick something that aligns with what the market values, then go all in on mastering it. The more rare and valuable your skillset, the more leverage you have.
2. Make Yourself Impossible to Ignore
Skills are one thing. Visibility is another. You can be the best in your field, but if no one knows, it won’t move the needle.
- Share your expertise publicly—write, speak, post, teach.
- Build a personal brand—LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, whatever fits your style.
- Show results—case studies, testimonials, proof of work.
The people who own their industry are the ones you see everywhere.
They’re the ones getting speaking gigs, consulting offers, and top-tier job opportunities. Be one of them.
3. Play the Long Game with Relationships
Most people network wrong—they show up when they need something. The real players build relationships before they need them.
- Find the top 5-10 people in your industry and learn from them.
- Help others without expecting anything in return.
- Stay in touch with past bosses, colleagues, and mentors.
Opportunities come from who you know AND who knows you. If you consistently show up, add value, and build trust, doors will open that you didn’t even know existed.
4. Build Multiple Streams of Leverage
The people who get rich don’t just work hard. They stack leverage. They build assets that make money for them.
Career capital gives you options:
- You can negotiate a better salary because you’re a top performer.
- You can freelance or consult because you have rare expertise.
- You can build a business because you have industry knowledge and connections.
The more capital you build, the more control you have over your income.
Your Move:
If you want to make more money, forget chasing quick wins. Build career capital.
- Master a high-value skill.
- Make yourself visible.
- Build deep relationships.
- Leverage your expertise for multiple income streams.
Do this, and you won’t have to beg for raises. You’ll be in demand, in control, and in the driver’s seat of your financial future.
What’s one skill you can go ALL IN on mastering this year? Lock it in, commit, and start building. Your future self (and your bank account) will thank you.
