A couple of things to remember if you wanna make money. This list may appear trite and cliche. Nonetheless, I've found it to be true:
1. No one owes you anything.
2. Show up. Every day. Prepared to work.
3. Don't complain.
4. Don't make excuses.
5. Don't blame others.
6. Be ready to do labor that is "beneath you,"--for many years. (I was in the workforce for 13 years before I started making a decent living.)
7. Understand your strengths and weaknesses.
8. Fairly evaluate the value of your labor, then insist on being paid a fair wage.
9. It's not always about IQ. Learn the value of social intelligence.
There are many more tidbits I could throw out, but I'm sounding too much like my father so I'll shut up now.
