As it happens, you can get rich working for someone else, but how likely it is depends on three unshakeable rules:

1. You must work in an industry that rewards its top performers with
financial riches.

2. You must work in a field within that industry whose top performers are
rewarded with financial riches.

3. You must work for a company within that industry that rewards its top
performers with financial riches.

The fourth, generally unwritten rule is equally inviolable:

You must do whatever it takes to become a top performer within your company, field, and industry.

You can benefit from today's experiment whether you work for somebody else or you work for yourself....

Today's Experiment
Appox. Time - 7 minutes:
Answer the following questions as accurately as you can:

1. How much do you want to earn over the next three years?

2. What are you currently earning?

3. If you work for a company, what are the top performers in your company earning? The good performers? The average performers? (I'm assuming the poor performers are out of work... :-)

4. What are the top performers in your field and/or industry earning? The good performers? The average performers?

5. Would you currently class yourself as an average, good, or top performer in your company? In your field? In your industry?

By taking a few moments to review your answers, it should quickly become obvious which of the three strategies for earned wealth will work best for you:
a. Study and train to increase your performance capability
b. Switch to a new company
c. Re-train in a new field

Have fun, learn heaps, and remember - the power to predict is the power to choose!
