Its not just working hard, you have keep a lookout for opportunities to grow your wealth, could be a better job, could be good performance and the boss rewards you, could be investments, could be start new biz, etc

The key is to constantly keep a look out, widen your social contact (you never who u might know next that can help you do something better or intro opportunity to you), always work harder and better than your colleagues, always set aims, e.g. grow income by 50% in 3 years, and set clear steps on how to get there.

There are many means to any end and the guiding attitude is to stay positive, work hard, look for opportunities and dont expect things to drop from the sky.
