10 PROVEN WAYS TO DOUBLE YOUR INCOME THIS YEAR

Many coaches and other information-based business owners are not making the kind of income they would like to make. But you don’t have to be one of them! The following 10 principles are a proven way to double (or more!) your income in the coming year – if you not only read them, but implement several of them in your business. Some of the rewards will be increased revenues, increased number of clients, and even a greater enjoyment of the work you do.

I will assume, since you are working in the coaching field or another information business (or want to be), that you are doing work you love and want to share that with others in one way or another. Whether you are a career coach, resume writer, outplacement professional, or other infopreneur, your business provides a service to others. And unlike many fields, your service to clients fails to ring true unless you, too, are passionate about what you do. Not making enough money can zap any passion you had when you started your business, fast!

So here are 10 proven ways to increase (by at least 100%) your income – while actually working less time than you do now!

1. Choose to challenge any aspect of your life or business that is not what you want. Even those of us who enjoy our work may have areas that we would like to change. The best way to find these areas for yourself is to reflect on what you repeatedly feel frustrated or upset by (or ask your spouse what you complain about the most!). While we can’t usually change our lives overnight, we can change one thing at a time. How? By choosing to do so! If you don’t feel successful, what would have to happen to change that? Consider this quote from Spiritual Economics:

“Success is the most natural thing in the world. The person who does not succeed has placed himself in opposition to the laws of the Universe.”

When we feel that urge to make change, to improve, to get better (which is what New Years’ resolutions are all about, right?), author Eric Butterworth tells us that “your desire to get ahead, your urge to succeed, is your intuitive awareness of something within you that wants to succeed through you.” And the factor that distinguishes someone who feels successful from someone similarly situated who does not is on the inside of the person. It’s like the person who says “My job is not imaginative; there is no future in it.” In fact, “there is no job with a future in it – the future is in the one who does the job!”

Question to Ponder: What one thing in your life or business, if you changed either the activity itself or your attitude about it, would make a significant difference in your coming year?
