Morning Shot: How much increments & bonuses should you expect?

We often talk about the hustle of climbing the corporate ladder, but what if the real secret to financial independence is treating yourself as the ultimate business entity? Christopher Ng, a Financial Educator, Bestselling Author, and a man who achieved Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) at just 39 years old shares how he did it, all without ever earning a massive C-suite salary. Instead of relying on corporate loyalty and a single paycheck, he mastered extreme discipline, relentless dividend investing, and ultimate career agility. Christopher also opens up about his deeply personal backstory, sharing how watching his father transition from a founder of Pet Lovers Centre to a blue-collar worker fundamentally shaped his radical approach to risk management.
