78% of US Workers Are Living
Paycheck to Paycheck
The reality of where most of the American middle-class these days according to recent studies ...are onlymissed paycheck away from poverty.
- About 78% of workers in the US are living #paychecktopaycheck and the statistics don’t improve from there.
- Only 39% of Americans actually have saved enough money to cover a $1000 emergency.
- Nearly 3 in 4 workers say they are in debt and more than half think they always will be. The rise in interest rates and now food is leaving so many with the tough choice of eating or paying the car payment to get to work.
- A US bank survey found that 69% of Americans had less than $1,000 in total savings and 34% had no savings at all. They’d have to put an emergency on a credit card/borrow money just to cover something as little as $400.
THIS IS NOT CALLED LIVING THIS IS CALLED BARELY SURVIVING.
Some will choose to belittle/be skeptics while they stay stuck, complain, and continue to ignore proven opportunities that are changing the lives of real people around them…
- Some care what Karen from high school, who can’t pay her own bills, has to say about what you do.
- They choose to remain victims, posting their woes, Netflix binges, and non-stop nights/partying on the town while other people put their scrolling aside and get to work.

5 Ways to Build Authority With Any Prospect
While trust is necessary for a good working relationship, it’s not enough. You have to establish authority as well.
When you call a prospect for the first time, you probably haven’t given them any reason to care about what you’re saying. They’re thinking:
- Who is this person?
- Why should I believe anything they say?
- Do they even know anything about me?
Authority is different from trust. Establishing authority requires showing that you’re a specialist in a particular subject matter or process, and possess a particular skill set that can help your prospect.
Establishing authority is also necessary to stay in control of the sales process.
