To double your income from $100k to $200k in five years, stop asking for raises and build a strategic plan to gain high-value skills and become indispensable. The speaker argues that adding real value improves your negotiating position and lets you systematically reach $150k, $200k, $250k or beyond.
What if in 5 years' time you could actually double or triple your income from where you are right now? And what would that do to your investment portfolio? So you want to be starting to think about, well, how am I going to grow my income? If I'm earning $100,000 now, what do I need to learn? What skills do I need to get? What experience do I need to have to move that to $150,000 a year income, $200,000 a year income, $250,000 a year income, right? And actually start a bit of a strategic personal growth plan. So going out and demanding things is stupid. But instead going out and going, okay, how can I add so much value that I become indispensable and so valuable to the marketplace that you actually put yourself in a better negotiating position so you can then go and increase your income dramatically over time?
