If you’re an employee, always tie what you’re doing to how the business makes money.

0:00One of the easiest ways to make more money as an employee is go to your employer and ask for less money. Here's how it works. Anybody who can [music] directly tie what they do to what a company makes can then say, "Hey, instead of giving me this base, I'd like [music] a much smaller base so I can have more participation in the upside." And so, what you're actually doing is shifting the [music] risk from the business owner to you. And whenever you take on more risk, you will be entitled to more reward. And so, if you know you're good at what you do, ask to get paid less.
