Hello, I'm Brian Tracy. To increase your own personal income, you must be in a position to influence the company's income to somehow increase revenues or cut costs. Look at your company and look for a job where you can become more valuable. For instance, a position where you can influence the company's income or reduce its costs of generating that income. Perhaps the fastest way to bring yourself to the attention of your superiors is is to develop good work habits. You see, most people, unfortunately, are time wasters. They waste not only their own time, but also that of others. They work at 50% or less of capacity, according to the research, and because of this, they have a hard time getting ahead. But if you develop a reputation for speed, dependability and quality work, you will immediately stand out from the majority. In a survey of 104 chief executive officers, 84% of them agreed on two qualities that would most mark a person for rapid promotion. The first quality was the ability to set priorities to separate the important from the unimportant. The second quality that they noted was the habit of getting the job done fast. A Sense of urgency less than 2% of people have a sense of urgency and they are always the ones on the fast track. For many reasons, people respect those who get the job done quickly. When you develop a reputation as being the person who your boss can rely on for fast, high quality work, your future is guaranteed. And if your boss doesn't appreciate you for these qualities, there are plenty of other bosses who will.
