How can you make more money?
Many self-employed personal trainers have asked me, ‘what can I do to make more money?’ One of the main problems encountered today by self-employed professionals is stress caused by working hard but never having enough money. They get paid for each hour they work, and the problem is there are only limited numbers of hours a day they can work. ‘How much harder can I possibly work to make more money?’ he answer to this question is that you don’t have to work harder to make more money but you do have to work smarter. Many people who are self-employed have the mindset that they have to work very hard in life in order to make money. When you are self-

employed, you are usually paid by the hour or by the job or project. So obviously, when you work longer hours and more days, your income will increase! But if you stop working, lose a couple of clients, or you are unwell or injured, your income significantly declines. This leads us to Jim
Rohn, author and speaker, who once said, “Profits are better than wages. Wages make you a living; a profit makes you a fortune.” Most selfemployed people earn a wage. You are simply trading your time for money. Therefore, if you want to make more money you will need to work longer hours. On the other hand, people who know how to turn their time into money own their own business – this simply means they work on the profit system. For instance, Bill Gates started his own business. We all know how wealthy he has become! Most self-employed people don’t think this way because we have been brought up in a culture that encourages us to trade our time for money.
So what’s the solution? I used to believe that I could only achieve an

I realised that anyone can achieve a massive increase in their income in any profession. There are opportunities to make money all around us, whether you are a chef, garbage collector, lawyer, doctor, teacher or designer, decorator, personal trainer or a software programmer. But how did they do it? The key is not just focusing on your single source of income, but taking action in order to create for yourself additional streams of income. You could consider investing some of your money in the profit system, instead of spending every penny on bills and essentials. This option enables you to double your income or even increase it by three to five times. When you work on building an asset, it doesn’t require you to work harder and for longer hours; it simply requires you to work intelligently with your time and money. If your aim is to increase your income massively then choose a few of the ideas below and start using them to develop a money-making enterprise for your business type. What kind of product, service or idea could you create that could give you another form of income? 1. Start to generate information products: Information products can be e-books, for instance for the exercise professional could be workout DVDs or on-line fitness classes. Photographers earn royalties when their images are used for an advertisement, brochure or magazine. This type of product can be created with little or no money
Gates gets paid millions of dollars in licensing fees every time the software is installed. 3. If you are a chef you get royalties by licensing your recipes to food manufacturers. As a chef you can create fantastic recipe and licence it to be used as a frozen gourmet food product. Alternatively you can write a book or even create cooking lessons at your restaurant to generate extra income and gets paid royalties for every product that is sold. 4. Anyone can write a book, no matter if you are a rubbish collector, decorator, lawyer, doctor, teacher or any other profession, you can receive royalties from the books you write and tapes recorded. For instance J. K. Rowling was struggling to earn a living as a single mother. When she wrote ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’, it became such a mega hit with children that the royalty cheques came pouring in within less than seven years. CHW but they’re good money-makers. People will pay for more comprehensive and in-depth information, as long as it provides them with the benefits they are looking for or a new angle. 2. If you are software or game designer you get royalties for the games you develop. For instance, Microsoft owned the DOS program but licensed it to IBM and IBM clone manufacturers to install it in their computers. As a result, Bill

Are you looking for optimum health? Redox Signaling molecules. Your own body makes them, every minute of every day. But as we get older, our bodies get less efficient at the process.
