Welcome to this week’s episode of the Industry Insider!

How much would you consider to be “a lot of money” or a “high income?” What number comes to mind? If you’re like many people, you probably think of the income scale as being about $30,000 per year to about $250,000 per year. We’re programmed by society to believe that’s normal. People on the lower end of income will be making about $50,000 or less, and if you’re into the six figures, you’re doing well in the eyes of most. Many people think that if you can make $250,000 you’re right up there with the high rollers!

But we have something that may surprise you to know. If you take all the world’s earners and put them on a graph, that $250,000, when you put it on a graph, is not even very high at all. Millions of people are making WAY more than a quarter million per year, despite the fact that most people mistakenly consider it to be the top level of income!

Going from Rags to Riches—Average to BIG!

If I (Shane) told you I went from making $35,000 a year to $50,000 a month, would you believe me? If I told you I knew countless people with similar stories, would you believe that? Well, it’s true!

Here’s my tip: Make sure your solution matches the problem so you can spiral upwards financially, not downwards.

The first solution most people think of when they want to make more money? Getting a second job. But, you’re almost punished if you get a second job. You are tired, your day job suffers, the second job doesn’t often end up being worth it. The solution is not equal to the problem, and it actually can become a part of the problem instead of solving it.

With two or more jobs, you’re juggling multiple income streams to make ends meet, and you’re often still not making ends meet. But when you join us, you can begin to earn even more than that with even less work!

How do you defend yourself from staying trapped in a low income bracket?

You have to want it.

Personal development resources are so important. You have to change the way you think about life and what’s possible in order to get results. Get a whole new perspective on life and shift your paradigms—shift your autopilot.

3 things to help you get there:

• Find people—preferably, a community of people—who are on the path that you want to be on.
• Listen to our weekly live stream on Facebook to learn how to get your share of prosperity.
• Read books. Tune into information. (Shane reads about 2 books per week!)

The business works. It’s proven to work. The difference is in you. Hopefully, these tips will help you in your quest for future success!
