Don’t get alarmed by the heading and don’t start giving me the look before you start reading this post. I want to share with you some life changing actions I had made in order to be where am I now, financially free.
I remember in year 2001, I left the company I painfully built. Though I was not the owner or founder of the company, I felt cheated because I was owed commissions amounting to more than 30,000. I was employee No.2 in the company and broke all SAP Training Sales Record ($200,000 in one day!) when I was working there.
Soon, I was on the job hunt. I was a Group Sales Manager and used to hang out with my peers. I was spending lot’s of time mixing with my customers, IT Managers, Senior Managers… etc. So I thought to myself, I better start contacting them to help me.
I was shell-shocked to realize this. None of the few hundred contacts that I used to spend time with could help me. Then I told myself, “OMG, I’ve mixed with the wrong peopleâ€. The last few years had been wasted. I started telling myself, I should have fired my friends!
Birds of the same feather flock together.
IT Managers tend to hang with IT Managers; Storemen with storemen, Senior Managers with Senior Managers, Directors with CEO. . . etc
To know what is your net worth or how much your salary is, I don’t even need to see your pay cheque. All I need to do is to add your 5 closest friend’s salaries, divide by five and your salary will be +-20% from there.
