Your HOURLY WAGE, No Matter How Big That Is, IS MAKING YOU POOR!

Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people choose to get paid based on time.

Most people,mainly in the employment world, take pride or for the majority, get depressed whenever "their hourly" wage is brought up. Most quite believe that they are getting paid below what they are worth. But really, in who's opinion? Of course, you would say you bring so much value to your company. But think about it, I am sure your boss believes that your pay is fair enough. And whenever you would try to ask for a raise, your boss would wonder why.

People do not really like the idea of getting paid based on their results. There is really nothing wrong with being paid based on time, especially if you just stay in the office for eight hours without completing anything. With that, it's either you hate your job or you are bored. Then, why are you still there? Of course, that is another story. What I'm trying to say is, with being compensated based on the amount of time you put in a project, you are actually limiting your potential income. I mean, really, how many hours are there in a day,just 24. How many hours can you work in a day? Even if you work for 24 hours, no matter how much effort you put in your job, you still get the maximum of just 24 hours. If you get paid based on results, even if it was just a few hours, as long as you efficiently worked on it, I'm sure it would be far better than being paid per time. That is the difference between an entrepreneur and an employee. The employee works harder, but has limited income because TIME IS LIMITED. The businessman works smarter, and earns money based on his results. THE GREATER THE RESULTS, THE GREATER THE INCOME. And we all know that we can never put a ceiling in the the results we can produce.

Most people are afraid of knowing their capacity. They really don't want to test if they could produce the results they desire, so they just content themselves with the idea of being paid with the time they put in. I have been an employee before and I know, the amount of time we put in work does not really equal the quality of work expected of us. Okay,maybe for some who are dedicated enough, they really put in that needed effort, and maybe more, but not everyone has that zeal and performance. So there, they just stay in their comfort zones, needing the "guarantee" of getting paid in the exact time every month, the same amount, even if they still continue complaining that it's not enough.

In the end, the only way to earn what you're really worth is to get paid based on your results. Rich people believe in themselves. They believe in their value and in their ability to deliver it. Not unless you have the courage to really know your worth, stay contented to know that there is a ceiling to your income, because again,time is limited.
