Make friends with someone higher up in the company and seek their advice.  Most people like to teach the "younger" employees.  Tell them you are impressed that they are so successful and that you want to be just like them and believe me you wont be able to shut them up ;)

1st have a desire - determine the thing that interests you most that's the trick. Love the job or project and you will pursue for its success. Is it food? Is it service? Is it thinkering? Programming? \n2nd plan and compute - plan your products or service to render, determine your margins is it worthwhile?\n3rd location - do you have a market, will your location allow you to do business easier than another?\n4th financial backing - set aside money to fund 1,2,3 above and set a few more for drawbacks and operating at a loss for a few months.\n5th creativity - Set yourself apart from others, be original but acceptable. \n\nHmmm, a cocktail and a pretzel & nuts stand in the afternoons..

Be honest with your boss. Tell him that you enjoy your job, and you think you are an asset to the company. Hopefully your charts have examples of how you have helped the company to make more money. Because that's how you can convince him that you deserve a bigger piece of the pie.
