The time is
right for you. It is time to begin a new
business venture—time to move in a new direction. You have inspiration and energy, but there is
a slight problem. You are not sure of
your direction. What should your
business be? Where should you start and
then what path do you follow? Which
opportunities should you seize and which are better left alone? I can help you with this. I can be your guide through this maze, so
that you can make your right decision. Now,
before we begin with that, we need to touch on something you may have already
heard, but it bears repeating: You need to diversify your life. What? You
need to diversify your life!
Some individuals
follow their family’s example and work in the same business or head along the
same career path as everyone else has for generations. They say, “My father, and his father, and his
father’s father all [went in this business direction] so, of course, I will
too.” Other individuals follow their
bliss. You know this because they cannot
stop talking about it. Life is great for
them and they can’t see themselves doing anything else. Then, for both sets of individuals (and many
like them) life changes. The family business
goes under, or there are reductions in force at work, or maybe the bliss has
worn off. What do they do now? This is why diversifying your life is
essential to your mental and financial well-being.
By “diversifying
your life,” I mean having more than one
way to earn money. If you enjoy working
for a company, that is fine. Make sure
you are doing something else besides that. You should be doing at least two, maybe more,
things in addition to your company job. Why
is this important? Refer to the above
example. If you have more than one
income avenue, when there are reductions or the business goes under, you will
not be in a panic, wondering how you’ll survive. You will have other income options. You will only need to look into ways to fill
that gap. A better alternative to
complete devastation and wondering how you will survive from week to week. Having other avenues of wealth will give you
the time to figure out how to fill that gap. With panic can come rash decisions, and then
you feel stuck with the decisions that you made. Having options gives you the opportunity to
try things out and then, if you find that that opportunity was a poor fit, you
can change without having a big disruption to your income.
Am I saying you
need the equivalent of three full time jobs? No! You
can set up your wealth avenues however you wish. Just make sure you put some thought into it. Now, let’s figure out which wealth avenues to
create…
