Three Ways To Increase Your Income

DEFINE YOUR PURPOSE
The quickest route to promotion is problem-
solving. This also holds with respect to finances.
You do not get something for nothing. Money is
only a means of exchange. It flows to us in
proportion to the value we give in solving
problems for others.
You have been designed to solve a particular
problem in this world. You must identify that area
of need and define your purpose. Your purpose in
life is not what you decide. It is too late to decide
it now. It was decided by God before you were
born. Therefore, it is not what you decide; it is
what you discover by asking God. Jesus said;
“Where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also”. Ask God to show you where your treasure is
in life so you can put your heart there.
Then do an appraisal of your gifts and talents. You
see, you are already designed to do some things
better than other people. There are things you do
with ease and you enjoy doing them. God has
designed you to make money while doing what
you enjoy doing.
DEFINE YOUR VALUES
It is important that you list also, your values – the
things that are important to you as a person.
Values include family, health, love, success,
independence, fun, adventure, creativity, financial
independence, beauty, relationships, information,
innovation, justice and so on. You should list four
to five values that are of priority to you. Then list
activities around each one that can generate
money. You will see clearly how to make money
while you do what you enjoy doing. You may even
realize that you need to make a major career
change this year. For example, whereas I studied
engineering in school, I have turned out a
motivational speaker and pastor, and I enjoy every
minute of it. I am happy about the contribution I
am able to make to people’s lives.
DEVELOP SKILLS
Another area to consider in order to increase our
income is the development of professional skills.
Having identified what you can do to meet
people’s needs, you must develop the ability to do
it with excellence.
Since we are not born with professional skills, we
must commit to learning as much as possible
about your job. What you learn ultimately
determines what you earn. Attend a course. Attend
a seminar. Buy and read books. Go to school. Get
a mentor. Browse the internet. Do whatever you
can do to improve this year.
King Solomon, the exceptionally wise king in the
Bible, once said; “Do you see a man that is an
expert in his craft, he will stand before kings, he
will not stand before common men.” You see,
those who do their work with excellence eventually
have better and bigger opportunities. More so,
what a king can afford to pay for your services will
be far more than what an ordinary person can
afford.
If you are a carpenter, be the best carpenter in
town this year. Whatever you do, go the extra mile
to satisfy your customers. Find out the latest tools
or techniques in town. Learn and apply them. By
God’s grace, doors of opportunity will open for
you, better than ever. Get ready, you are about to
move to a new level.
You will succeed
