Voters have voted and election results are in….

Voters have voted and election results are in….

That’s right voters have voted and the election results are in…..The new president and his policies may indeed impact the economy for the next decade. How will his policies affect you? People that voted for the loser will be claiming that the country is in turmoil and that the world is ending. They will also spend the next decade blaming every economical problem on the new presidential policies. People who voted for the winner are going to spend the next decade putting the positive spin on every judgment that their hero makes and crediting him for every positive influx in all of society.

But how will it affect you for the next four years? How will the election results impact YOUR economy? Are you counting on the new president to change your employment status? Are you worried that the voters have voted you into poverty or are you excited that the new president will somehow bring you new wealth? But most importantly, what are YOU going to DO to impact your own economy?

There are several ways to increase your own income and your own economical status regardless of the next 4 years. It all boils down to adding value. What I mean here is that if you want to earn more money and increase your economical status you must a) add value to yourself either by working harder or adding to your education or experience b) add value to the company you work for or c) you need to offer something to others that adds value to their lives.

Simple ways to add value:
a) Add Value to yourself. Start looking at yourself as a business entity. YOU are your own most valuable asset. Develop that asset no matter what your field. Do you realize, even without college, that if you read 30 minutes daily about whatever you do or whatever you want to be doing that would be 3 ½ hours per week, 182 hours per year, 910 hours in 5 years. An average 3 credit hour college class that lasts 12 weeks is equivalent to 36 hours. That means in 5 years in your spare time you could gain the equivalent knowledge of 25 college classes. Except by choosing the topics that really affect your field it could become an extremely targeted education. That is immense value and will result in higher pay as well as higher performance in your given field.
b) Add value to the company you work for or what you do. Very simply – work harder. By simply not wasting time taking trips to the water fountain you could save time to add to your work performance not even including the time you would save not having to visit the bathroom because of the water fountain trips. Work hard / play hard. Start looking at your position as an owner instead of an employee and pretty soon you will be an owner instead of an employee.
c) Which brings me to the last point-add value to others lives. For instance if you have a business opportunity add value that will help your team succeed i.e. a marketing system in place to help your new people. If you have a vacation product focus on the value your product adds to families through those vacations. Whatever your product is start focusing on how it adds value to others instead of selling them on the fact that you work with an 800 year old, debt free company that has a juice product they might make money from.
Any way, those are just a couple quick tips I was thinking about today. Even with the election results in, you still have a choice of what your next 4 or even 40 years will be like. You may have voted in the election but you can still continuously vote for freedom everyday by working for yourself.

Good Luck and God Bless.
