Six Secrets to Doubling Your Pay in the Next 12
Months
2
  • Many employees spend years stuck in a system
    where at best they receive a 3-10 annual
    increase in pay.  If you are the type of person
    who has the patience for this sort of
    progression, it may work well.  However, if you
    are the kind of person who likes rapid growth and
    wants to make a lot more money in a short period
    of time, follow these five tips and watch your
    salary soar.

Secret 1  Become an entrepreneur.
You may not be an entrepreneur, but you can be an
entrepreneur. Just because you dont own the
company does not mean you cannot act like you own
it.  Starting tomorrow morning, act as if you own
the company and think the way a business owner
would.  This does not mean you get to stop doing
the work assigned to you.  It just means that you
are going to start doing much more work and
looking at things within the business from the
same perspective that a business owner would
see. One of the first consequences of this type
of mindset is for you to start thinking
immediately about the profit and loss for the
work you do, the work your department does, and
the work that others around you are doing.  Keep
in mind that a business owner would never allow
unprofitable or underperforming activities to
continue, whether they were in his department or
something under the control of the person next
door.

Secret 2  Forget five days  40 hours per week.
If you are working five days per week and only 40
to 50 hours, try to get used to your current pay
and a 5 increase at best, because employees who
spend this kind of time in their job are
typically doing the bare minimum just to get by. 
If you are on salary and your company will permit
you, start working 60 to 70 hours and focus on
doing much more than the urgent tasks assigned to
you.  Instead, concentrate on tasks that build
something for the future.  Typically, these
activities are going to be important in the
future but have almost no urgency currently.

    future but have almost no urgency currently.

Secret 3  Get in clear sight of decision makers.
  • Depending on the size of your company and where
    you are at within the organization, the person
    you report to directly may or may not be the
    decision maker who has the ability to double your
    pay 12 months from today.  If you work for the
    decision maker, this will be easy.  However, most
    people find themselves in a situation where the
    decision maker is anywhere from two to three
    levels higher than they are.  It is therefore
    critical that you take on projects, tasks, and
    just about anything you can in order to be seen
    by the decision makers.  The more the decision
    maker can see you working and can see the quality
    of your work, the more likely you will be to get
    the big raise you desire.

Secret 4  Kiss up any chance you get.
  • Never underestimate the power of being a
    kiss-up.  That means doing the things that others
    may not want to or refuse to do.  However, it
    also means simple things, such as good manners
    and being pleasant.  In the morning when you
    arrive at least 10 minutes earlier than you are
    supposed to stop by the office of the decision
    maker and without disrupting their work, say
    Hello.  If there are additional levels of
    management between you and the decision maker,
    make sure they know you are early to work as well.

8
  • You do not actually have to tell them youre
    early, but greeting superiors ten minutes or more
    before your scheduled arrival time will give them
    the picture.  When its time to leave for the
    day, stop by all of those offices and cubicles
    again, especially the decision maker, and wish
    him or her a good night and make sure you are
    doing this at least 10 minutes after your
    scheduled departure time.  Occasionally you can
    even stop by the decision makers office and let
    him or her know you are going to lunch and if
    they would like you to pick up anything for them.

Secret 5  Always overdress.
  • One easy way of establishing that you are not
    like your peers is to make sure that you do not
    dress anything like them.  Accomplish this by
    always overdressing regardless of the occasion. 
    If your company is casual, simply wear slacks and
    a button-up shirt or equivalent, while everyone
    else wears jeans and T-shirts.  If your company
    is business casual, you just need to make sure
    that you dress a little bit above, such as a nice
    shirt and tie for men and the equivalent for
    women.  If everyone wears a shirt and tie, then
    put on a suit.  If everyone wears a suit, put on
    a nicer suit and wear shinier shoes.  The bottom
    line is that whenever people look at you, they
    should get a feeling that you are way out of
    place and you belong in a higher position.

Secret 6  Initially turn down a pay raises!
  • When your boss offers you a pay raise, always
    turn it down and tell them that you would like to
    be able to give even more to the company and you
    feel like you can do much more than you are
    currently doing.  Then give them a target salary
    that is much higher than the raise they are
    offering you and ask, What would I have to do to
    earn this rate of pay in 90 days if I turned down
    this pay raise?  In most cases, they will give
    you a list of things that may or may not seem
    reasonable to you.  Remember, your goal and
    obsession as of that moment needs to become
    attaining those goals.

11
  • If you follow these six secrets, you will
    undoubtedly set yourself up for a massive raise. 
    But if after nine months you feel like you are
    not there yet, then its time to set up a meeting
    with the decision makers and tell them that your
    goal is to earn X amount of dollars as of 90 days
    from that day.  Then ask them to tell you exactly
    what you would need to do in order to earn that
    rate of pay.
  • In most cases, they will provide you a list.  In
    the event they do not, you now have 90 days to
    find a job where they will see your true value
    and reward you for your accomplishments.  Of
    course, your resume, cover letter, and your
    interviews will be all about the last nine
    months, as well as your aspirations of earning
    your target salary and the fact that you are
    willing to do whatever it takes to earn it.
