CHAPTER 1

Why $100K Can and Should
Be Part of Your Career Plans

Are you being paid enough? Despite the risk of sounding politically incorrect: You want to make the big bucks! Although 91,993,582 households in this country earn around $31,241 a year, that's not the life for you.

Only 4 percent of U.S. households, approximately 4,035,799, earn over $100,000. That sounds better, doesn't it? Seems like there must be room for a few more to make enough money to break that barrier and join the $100,000 Club -- namely, you!

According to Fortune magazine, "The new rule of thumb for being well-paid is to earn four times your age." Hey, it wasn't that long ago that earning twice your age meant you were well-paid! Regardless of any rule of thumb, the key is: What is the magic number for you?

Most everyone says $100,000 is a special number. Hence, The $100,000 Club is to help the majority of my readers who desire and deserve to earn much more than they are currently earning.

To make $100,000, you have to decide to do some fairly simple things well and consistently. The $100,000 Club is about those specific things. But it isn't just about making big money; it's about becoming a person who deserves big money and takes the responsibility for getting it.

THE $100,000 CLUB IS NOW OPEN TO NEW MEMBERS!

The requirements? To begin with, you must be willing to add to your self-worth every day.

While adding to your self-worth typically means making money, in the financial sense it can also mean investing money, learning a timely job skill, developing a new personality trait, solving a time-consuming energy-draining problem, controlling time, managing an attitude, improving appearances, even building muscle.

Adding to your self-worth will make you more valuable monetarily, professionally, mentally, physically, emotionally. That's successful living. That's a $100,000 Club member.

Regardless of the exact dollar figure that lights up your eyes -- six figures, seven, even eight figures -- a lot more will try than succeed. If you want to be one who succeeds, The $100,000 Club is for you.

I've spent the last twenty years around people whose financial earnings reached $100,000 and far beyond. I've studied, watched, interviewed, and consulted for them. What I've learned, from those who have made it, is yours for the taking. An acquaintance of mine is a female business leader who says it's her personal mission to add to her worth every day. She's forty-one years old but looks thirty-two because she takes good care of herself so that her body will hold up for all the work she puts it through. She says, "I have to 'win' every day. That means I'm either in a race or in a battle."

That's how you have the energy to make significant money!

All $100,000 Club members add to their self-worth every day before they make the big money. The habit isn't formed once you reach some financial goal; it's formed to get you to that financial goal and to keep you at and beyond that level.

Fortunately, there are myriad ways for you to add value to yourself on a daily basis so that you are worthy of earning six figures.

In the 1980s making money was the goal in itself: having more showpieces, cars, clothes, or someone on your arm. Not today.

 

Condensed for business readers on the go, this book offers insights and advice for achieving a six-figure income, culled from over one hundred interviews with CEOs, headhunters, presidents, career counselors, executives, and other professionals, each of whom earns more than $100,000.

An irrepressible guide to one of life's most significant career milestones--a six-figure income. [Benton] tells the real story behind the fascinating quest for success, complete with the most helpful hints on understanding what it takes to prevail in the high-stakes game of business.
