Do you deserve a raise?

I recently saw a group of protestors demanding a raise in pay! They were asking for $15 per hour to be exact. The funny thing is not one of the signs explained what they were going to do better to earn it. There was nothing about staying late, arriving early, going the extra mile for the customer. Just a demand for more money.

There are two ways you can get paid. You can either do more or know more! I would like to ask each one, "How many nonfiction books have you read this year?" You become what you put in your mind and heart.

If you want more money, it's quite simple.  Read, listen to podcasts in your car, interview people making more than you, and set goals. Your not entitled to it! You have to go get it!

One of two things will happen as you put in more effort. The company you work for will reward you through promotions and raises or someone will see your hard work and steal you! Think of yourself as You INC. You are your own little company. You are the CEO! No matter your job or employer, you and only you hold the keys to your success!
