It's time to make more money
I have this one weird hack
What’s up guys! Hope your week has been good so far. Today I wanted to talk about the other side of the financial equation: How much money you’re bringing in!
DEFINITION
Where the high paying jobs at?!
Did you know, 70 to 85 percent of jobs are filled through networking or word-of-mouth referrals, with the majority of jobs in the U.S. never posted on job boards. That means Indeed, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn are not your best bet!
PRACTICAL ADVICE
How do I learn about these high paying jobs?
If you want a job that gives you more learning and earning opportunities, than your peers. You can’t go to where all your peers are looking!
You have to find the back entrance, the side streets, and the lowkey ways to be in proximity of the better jobs.
How do you get in proximity? Meet powerful people in your industry in the non-professional settings! For example, play some tennis, play some golf, go volunteer, or go to church. The “professional walls” are down, and you can just be yourself. Be a genuine friend and those relationships can lead you to some cool opportunities.
