So... How can you 10x your income?

1) Don’t have a blanket income goal - I want to make x by this age. Instead ask yourself what kind of lifestyle you want to live in your 20s, 30s and beyond and that is your financial freedom number needed per month to support that. Base your income goal and timeline off of this goal and I bet you will be motivated to get their faster!

2) Don’t be complacent - It is really easy to get comfortable and go through the motions every day - especially at work. If you feel that you have capped out your earnings potential at your current job and you aren’t 100% satisfied or passionate about the work, don’t wait for a promotion - that could take years or never happen if you don’t take action.

a) Speak with your boss and ask them what it takes to earn a promotion or a pay raise - create key performance indicators or metrics and a timeline. Meat weekly or monthly to review these metrics and that you are on target. Once that timeline is up, if you have hit your metrics, there shouldn’t even be a question if you should get a promotion

b) Change jobs! Don’t be complacent. You can LEARN new skills… apply for a ton of new jobs that have a higher earnings potential than your current job. This may not always be immediate - you may take a small pay cut or a lateral move, but instead move into a position that has higher upside in the next 1-2 years.

3) Get a commission based job. Most of the highest earners in the country are those that are in sales roles - ones that allow you to earn money for the company you work for and in turn you get paid a % of that. You now have a direct relationship with how much work you put in and the income you receive. Sales is a learned skill and anybody can learn how to do it effectively!

a) You can also get your real estate license and sell real estate - you get paid a % of the sale price of the home. Many real estate agents make over 6 figures within their first 1-2 years selling if they work hard. Some make over 7 figures per year!

4) Side Hustle
Find a way to make money in your spare time!
- Drive for Uber eats, Lyft or other
- Work at a restaurant or bartend in the evenings and on weekends
- Flip furniture like couches - buy cheap and sell for profit
- Affiliate marketing

5) Most importantly - INVEST
Even if you don’t make that much today, the earlier you start investing the better!

Once your income increases, invest the extra money instead of spending it on nicer things. The more you invest, especially into things like real estate that can pay you monthly cash flow, can drastically boost your income and wealth over time - especially when you reinvest the profits.

The biggest takeaways from my experience that may help you increase your income in the next few years really comes down to what motivates you? For me I thought it was money, but that quickly changed to financial freedom - and what’s the fastest path to get there. That allowed me to kick it into high gear at work and change jobs several times, starting over from scratch each time and investing my money like crazy.

I mean it when I say, that if I can do this, anybody can. Just wake up each day with that end goal in mind and push yourself towards that goal little by little. And lastly - take action! Don’t let paralysis by analysis stop you from achieving great things.

I was able to go from making $35k in a sales job cold calling people every day (I was miserable!) to making over $350k five years later. This led me to QUITTING my job, to pursue real estate and content creation full time. Financial freedom opens up your time to do what you truly love doing. Speaking from experience, there is no greater feeling in the world! I hope everyone can experience this some day (sooner rather than later!).

Love your mindset, energy and transparency! Agreed with all the points and everything in the description. We want to be financially free at a young age like you and it's been fun to watch your success. We are biased on airbnb properties too. We liquidated our long term rentals to build out an glamping airbnb business!
