What High Earners Do Differently

The tips below are from my experiences as an employee, entrepreneur and investor over 3 decades.

These 3 roles do overlap at certain points in time, in that I’ve also been an entrepreneur and investor while I was working as a full-time employee.

Note that I was fully focused on my job when I was working for my employers. I was NOT using my working hours as an employee to create side hustles or invest in assets.

That would literally be impossible to do, if you knew what I was working as.

But even if it was possible, it wouldn’t be fair to my employers as I would need to commit fully to my job in exchange for their commitment to pay me a salary that I was working for.

(If you don’t know what I have worked as, click here for my background in brief.)

Yet despite the demands of those jobs, I could still become an entrepreneur and investor in my spare time because I was using technology and HI (Human Intelligence) to create side businesses and invest in assets at the same time, without using up too much of my time and effort.

And if I am starting as an employee today, the numerous AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools, systems and services paired with HI strategies would make becoming an entrepreneur and investor while working as an employee even easier and quicker to do.

Since you’re living in a world of AI tools, systems and services today — I can only say how lucky you are.

Of course, you must know exactly what to do to ride on the AI train to 10x your earnings as quickly as possible without burning yourself out.

(If you don’t, let me know and I’ll point you in the right direction.)

Anyway, I hope you do more than just casually read the tips in this issue. They look simple — and they are.

But most people don’t do them, regardless.

Don’t be one of them.

Let’s start.

The 10x Employee
If You’re Not Top Of Mind, You’re Last In Line.

High-impact projects are where careers are made.

But here’s the truth:

Most employees never get picked for them.

Not because they aren’t smart or capable. But because no one sees them as the “go-to” person when the stakes are high.

Managers don’t assign big projects based on effort alone.

They assign them based on visibility, reliability, and value.

If you’re quietly doing good work, but no one associates you with results or initiative, you’ll keep getting left out.

🔧 Steps To Take

Getting picked starts with positioning.

1. Know what matters right now.

Look at your manager’s top 3 priorities this month.

2. Find a gap.

What problem keeps surfacing but still hasn’t been solved?

3. Offer your help.

Even one line in a meeting or Group message — “I’ve noticed we’re working on X. I can help move that forward if you need support.” — is enough for you to stand out.

You don’t need to ask for more work. Just offer support where it’s needed most.

💥 10x Action Tip

Send one message today offering to help with a project that aligns with a key team goal. Short, clear, no pressure.

Big projects don’t go to the loudest person. They go to the one who shows up before being asked, stays consistent, and adds value where it matters most.

The 10x Entrepreneur
Build Offers, Not Just Products.

Many entrepreneurs spend months perfecting a product — but only hours thinking about how to sell it.

They assume if the product is good enough. people will figure it out.

But people don’t buy “products.”

They buy offers.

Clear, specific, outcome-driven solutions that solve urgent problems.

A strong product without a strong offer is like a gift with no label.

No one knows what it’s for.

No one knows who it’s for.

And no one’s in a hurry to open it.

🔧 Steps To Take

Make your product easy to buy.

1. Start with the result your customer wants — not your features.

2. Package your product as a clear solution to a pain point.

3. Add urgency (limited spots, time-sensitive bonuses).

4. Make it ridiculously easy to say yes.

The product might be the same. The difference is how it’s framed.

💥 10x Action Tip

Rewrite your offer headline.

Make the first sentence speak directly to a pain or desire your customer already has.

You don’t need more products.

You need better offers.

The market rewards clarity and urgency — not complexity.

The 10x Investor
Plan Your Exit Before You Enter.

Your entry sets the potential.

Your exit locks in the profits.

Both matter.

Most investors get excited about getting in.

They time the chart, catch the news, and feel confident about the upside.

But they leave the exit open-ended. That’s where profits slip away.

Good investors know the trade isn’t complete until they exit.

And smart ones adapt their exit as the price climbs.

They don’t leave it to chance.

They define their risk and plan their exit from the start.

But they also know when to move that exit higher to lock in more upside.

This one habit separates steady growers from lucky guessers.

🔧 Steps to take

Use this 3-part method for every investment:

1. Profit target: Decide at what % gain or price you’ll take partial or full profit.

2. Stop-loss or risk control: Know what you’re willing to lose and where you’ll cut it.

3. Trailing profit lock: As the price climbs well above your entry, move your profit target up — and lock in more gains with a higher Stop Loss figure without guessing the top.

Write these down before you enter.

Then update your trailing target as the market rewards you.

That’s how you remove emotion later, in both wins and losses.

💥 10x Action Tip

Audit your portfolio today.

Pick one active trade or investment.

Define three things:

1. Your profit target.

2. Your stop-loss.

3. Your ratcheting exit — how you’ll raise your sell point as price rises.

Write them down today.

Knowing how you’ll exit — and how you’ll adjust as the market moves — keeps you grounded and takes the panic out of drawdowns, and the greed out of rallies.

When you start treating your trades like decisions, not reactions, your portfolio becomes a strategy — not just a bunch of numbers.

Cheers!
