I know it has by far been the longest since I last wrote a post. Countless things have happened during this period of time. My personal and professional plans have not exactly come to fruition just yet. Notwithstanding, I have recently been working towards growing my small teaching business. Even though I have lately yielded a little more profit than usual, it is still far from my financial goal. Thus, today I wanted to share some information on how to maximize our income and be able to have enough money at the end of the month to keep working towards our long-term goals.

These pieces of advice are not set in stone. Nonetheless, they are going to give you an overall guideline on how to become more financially successful and self-aware of how you spend your money.

Step 1: Become more valuable as an employee: If you happen to be part of a team of staff members in a big corporation, it his highly recommended that you constantly be proactive and look for creative ways to be of more help to your employer. Hence, if your boss sees you as a more valuable asset, you can over time request a raise in your job.

Step 2: Move into a company's profit stream: There are three types of jobs in the business world: Technical jobs, operation jobs and revenue generating jobs. 

Technical jobs have positions such as the legal department, the accounting department and the financial department.

Step 3: Become an intrapreneur: This means than an employee within an organization becomes an entrepreneur with the CEO's permission.

Granted you could begin with this step and forget all of the above. Nevertheless, so as to set up a business you need capital. Consequently, working a regular job is the correct avenue in order to earn that money allocated for that undertaking.
