#192: 5 Ways To Give Yourself A Raise Today


Listen Later

In my last day job, I busted my ass for two years slinging video games at a chain called Gamestop. I never missed a day of work, I always hit my upsell targets each month (getting people into our rewards program), our regulars like me, and my manager loved me.

After two solid years of "kissing ass and kicking ass" there, I had worked my way up from $5.15/hr to a staggering $5.50/hr. Truly life-changing money, for sure🙄

Two years...$0.35/hr raise.

While I hope you can't relate to that, chances are you've had some issue in your past where you (or maybe someone you know) didn't get the raise you worked hard for.

It sucks.

You know what's awesome, though?

One of the biggest advantages of being self-employed is that you can literally give yourself a raise today. There are no gatekeepers holding you back. You are the one in charge of your income nowđŸ€˜đŸŒ

So in today's super-tactical, fun episode, we break down 5 different ways you can give yourself a raise today.

One of the things we covered in this episode is one I used in my recording studio in 2015 to give myself a raise from $100/hr to over $300/hr.

It's time to take your income into your own hands by listening to this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast.
