# Introduction: Your Path to a Six-Figure Income Increase

Sarah M. was burning out. As a marketing manager at a Fortune 500 company, she worked 60-hour weeks, answered emails at midnight, and consistently exceeded her targets. Yet after five years in the same role, her salary had only increased from $72,000 to $81,000—barely keeping pace with inflation.

Then she discovered what I call the Income-Productivity Paradox: working harder rarely translates to earning more. In fact, the professionals who earn the most often work fewer hours than their lower-paid colleagues. They've simply learned to work on the right things, in the right way, at the right time.

Eighteen months after implementing the strategies in this book, Sarah's income had jumped to $145,000. She didn't work longer hours. She didn't get an MBA. She didn't even change companies. She simply changed how she worked.
