The Necessity of Multiple Streams of Income
Exploring the Power of Multiple Income Streams
In our ever-changing financial landscape, relying on a single income source can be akin to putting all your eggs in one basket—a risky move in a world where job security is no longer a guarantee. The concept of multiple streams of income is a strategy that can provide not just additional cash flow, but also a safety net in unpredictable economic times. Here’s why diversifying your income is a smart move and how you can get started.
Why Multiple Income Streams?
Financial Stability
With several income streams, if one begins to falter—say, because of a job loss or an industry downturn—others can help buffer the financial blow. This diversification can lead to greater peace of mind and financial stability.
Passive Income
Passive income streams, such as rental income, dividends, or sales from an e-book, can generate revenue with little to no ongoing effort. This allows for more freedom and time to pursue other passions or income opportunities.
Achieving Financial Goals Sooner
Multiple income streams can accelerate the process of reaching financial goals, whether they’re short-term (saving for a vacation) or long-term (building a retirement fund).
Taking Advantage of Skills and Interests
Having multiple sources of income allows you to monetize different skills and interests, potentially leading to a more fulfilling work life.
How to Develop Multiple Income Streams
Investment
Investing in the stock market, real estate, or a business can be a great source of additional income.
Side Hustles
Freelance work, gig economy roles, or starting a small business can add a significant amount of money to your total income.
Online Ventures
From starting a blog to drop-shipping, the internet offers a myriad of opportunities for creating income streams.
Intellectual Property
Creating and selling digital products, or earning royalties from writing a book or composing music, uses one-time efforts to generate ongoing income.
Risks and Considerations
Time Management: Balancing multiple income streams requires excellent time management skills to ensure that one doesn’t become overwhelmed.
Financial Risk: It’s important to assess the financial risk of each venture. Not all income streams are created equal, and some may require significant upfront investment with no guarantee of return.
Market Research: Understanding the market is crucial. An income stream that works for one person may not work for another.
In conclusion, establishing multiple streams of income can empower financial independence and provide a more secure economic foundation. By leveraging various sources, individuals can protect themselves from unforeseen downturns and progress toward financial goals with increased velocity and confidence. With strategic planning and thoughtful investment of time and resources, anyone can tap into the power of having multiple income sources.
The Beauty of Human Relationships
This past weekend in Deer Park , Long Island in New York City was a both a blessing and a revelation. The blessing was friends and family, some , haven’t seen each other in person in over 40 years. Life has taken its toll on many of our counterparts who for one reason or another, or for the fate of time was not able to be present. Life is for the living. For a brief 24 hour period we , a Queens ,New York Hillcrest H.S. basketball team that last gathered in June of the year 1978 was back together again joined by the loyal community that supported us.
The beauty of the human spirit should never be taken for granted. In the span of four decades technology increased dramatically. Where now today the iPhone is the best friend of many people, our Saturday Reunion reminded us that a firm hand shake, a brisk bodily hug are invaluable. Now , there was a place for the iPhones this day, to take high pixel photographs of the smiles and joy we experienced seeing each other again. No material possession can take the place of sincere and genuine company with people you love.
Many of the fellas that reunited for The Saturday Event left their wives at home, so we could truly have a guys night out ! However the host and his wife prepared food and drink that was out of this world. There most definitely is always a need for a woman’s touch to make events like this complete. It’s amazing what good food, moving music, and spirits for those who indulged in such can do to enliven aging men.
The revelation is the reward of being alive with a sound mind, and a willing healthy body to share the spirit of love amongst each other, and more significantly carry that spiritual vibe to those who we return home to engage with. That’s the beauty of human relationships ! I’ll never forget a wise saying from my mother as a child, ” Never put things, before people”. It has taken me 62 years to see that, ‘People Make The World Go Round’ !

The Day After Tomorrow
Here we are here in America approximately two years after Covid -19 altered life in ways that are unimaginable. Systems that we have relied on for generations have been changed negatively to the point where frankly it is advisable to totally abandon them to preserve one’s health, sanity, and life. Come on, you say , it can’t possibly be that bad. I wish that were the case, but unfortunately corruption has spread far and wide across the planet earth, and especially here in America ! All is not doom and gloom , there remains a slither of hope for those who recognize what they are up against and how they respond in defense.
If this sounds like we are at war, you are spot on ! Well , who is making war with the citizens of America , and the world , and for what purpose ? By time you finish reading this article it will be clear to you , the perpetrators , and the plan. Since the article is entitled ,”The Day After Tomorrow “, the best place to start is the way life was yesterday. For starters let’s look at corporate mass media. Censorship was always somewhat a factor in the way information was dispersed, but when the so-called pandemic was put in place any thoughts or opinions contrary to the given narrative was marginalized, or worst yet completely obliterated . In war, the first casualty is ‘truth’ !
When the information that reaches the masses of the people is purposely vague, confusing, and not transparent the citizen receiving the information is at a disadvantage. Couple this with a society that has become less literate, and fed a heaping load of sport and play to distract them and you have a recipe for disaster, when it comes to clarity of reality. There is no tool more effective in controlling a people, than to instill ‘fear’ . We were told that this devastating virus from Wuhan , China has been released to the world in which on the surface there is no protection, and no foreseeable cure. This started the ball rolling for the massive changes we would see primarily in the Health Industry. What is more important than physical life itself ? So , with this crisis to survive , as the base to this 21st century problem of biblical proportions the dye was set. There would never again be a normal, the way we used to know normal again.
There were a multitude of industries and systems affected by this so -called pandemic worldwide. We know hospitals , long-term care facilities, schools, churches, transportation , and employment would never be the same. We just want to highlight the obvious ; there is certainly an agenda afoot. You would have to be blind, deaf, and dumb not to see the events unfolding today as pieces to a nefarious plot. The unfortunate reality is that many people will succumb to an agenda that was designed to eliminate them. Yes, it sounds harsh, but welcome to the real world.
The good news is that the powers that be of this world are actually being ushered out, and a new world of righteousness awaits. The challenge we have is to find the Guide and the guidance to lead us there. He, and it exist and is accessible you just have to desire to step out of the darkness of massive lies and deception , in to the light of truth and salvation. We are at war, no doubt about it ! The question is are you ready to fight for your life.

In light of the events that have transpired in nearly two years due to the Covid 19 pandemic the future looks bleak.
Do You Value Your Life ?
This seems like a no-brainer question. If I would ask one hundred people this question, it is safe to say ninety-nine would answer yes. However action, truly speaks louder than words. Why would 85 % of humanity be willing to remain blind, death, and dumb. They have eyes but can’t see, ears but can’t hear, and have tongues but can’t speak . Of course , the meaning implied here is strictly figurative. What I am getting at is a herd mentality, where people today are easily led in the wrong direction, and hard to lead in the right direction.
Let’s start with economic value, and the disproportionate balance between the elite, and the masses. A master can’t rule a slave, if the slave has the same knowledge as the master. So by design knowledge especially when it comes to economics is held back from the masses. There are numerous ways this is systematically done through various institutions to get the desired result. Classism, racism, sexism, and greed are major components in this grand scheme to maintain a society of ‘The Haves’ and ‘The Have Nots’. The term middle-class is given to the masses as a placebo effect. One either has what he wants, or not. We live in a world where mind games are played daily to confuse, distract and dumb down the majority of society. The tragedy of this unjust system is that most individuals don’t have a clue that they are being manipulated by a wicked 10 %.
So how can we straighten this mess out. Yes, life today for a plurality is a hot mess and the sad part is , so many are oblivious to why things are the way they are. As a man and woman thinks, so is he and she. There is a specific teaching that the people need to help them to know themselves , the time , and what must be done. This teaching is, and has been available here in America for 91 years. How will they know unless they have a teacher, and how will they have a teacher unless he is sent. We can introduce you to this teacher if you are humble enough to accept him.
Finally, let’s look at the devastating effects of the pandemic which struck the world approximately one year ago today. Life as many of us know it has been altered in a massive way. Many lives have been lost , many businesses annihilated , life as we used to know it has dramatically changed. Desperate times call for desperate measures, but there is a point that should not be crossed. Unfortunately that threshold has been passed and most of the world has been persuaded to take an experimental vaccine that God only knows what will be the detrimental effects of doing so. Who do you trust, who can you trust ? These questions today, and how we answer them will determine if we live or die. If we want to live, and if we want a stable economic life, listen to everyone but think for yourself.
Sincerely,

A Changing World
In a twinkling of a eye, the economy of America suffered a devastating loss. Industries that have waxed rich for several decades like the airlines, hospitality, automotive, and retail have been annihilated by a pestilence called Co-Vid 19. There will never be a so-called time where we can say the word “normal ” again. The world as we knew it had transformed from conventional to uncertain, and unpredictable. Children would no longer attend a physical classroom at a school building. The office space in downtowns across the country from New York City to Los Angeles were vacated. Broadway, Disney World, hotels, restaurants, airports, bus stations, train stations, bars and on and on.
The first casualty of a deadly virus that supposedly started in Wuhan, China and later meandered in to the United States was of course its “health” effects. Some countries fared better than others in terms of preparedness and how well the virus could be contained. Well since I live in the U.S. I can say our government did not handle the crisis well. For sure I am not telling you anything that you don’t know. Volumes will be written about the pandemic, and the year 2020.
The engine of a functioning society is “economics”. The world economically morphed from a brick and mortar industrial manufacturing model to an automated digitalization model driven by the internet and a Zoom, Cisco Web Ex explosion. Yesterday, today economically would no longer prove suitable. The businesses that would survive and possibly thrive are those who have the ability to adapt, adjust, and improvise.
I am a professional network marketer who own and sell Home-Based Businesses. Many of us never thought there would come a day where working from home would be one of the most popular occupations in America and around the world. Think about it , when you work from home you don’t risk your health as much as those who don’t have the option to stay home. With the advent of video conferencing and virtual communication look at the money saved on gas for your car, tolls, eating out which is a whole lot more than eating at home. Of course anything of value in life has a difficulty factor attached to it, and owning your Home-Based business is no exception. Due to an industry that is either misunderstood or not viewed as credible there are obstacles that present a challenge . However for the basic low-overhead to get started, and the high upside of financial paydays that an average job wage can’t see.
We may never be able to say our society is “normal” again. But what we could say is that as long as we have breath to breathe we can work it out! If it is to be , it is up to me! If it is up to you, what are you going to do? Where there is a will, there is a way. Have a nice day !

Why Most People Don’t Believe Success Can Happen To Them
Ten percent of the people own ninety percent of the wealth. What do the 10% know that the 90% don’t know? What is the benefit of knowing the rules of finance? Can the knowledge of how money works determine the quality of ones’ life?
The answers to all the questions presented above stem from thoughts, beliefs, actions, and results of the individual person. Many people from a early age have big dreams of what they want to be in life, but somehow through the course of public school, and the social environment of the good ole family table, which was once a cascading waterfall of hope is deduced to a raindrop of reality. The traditional line told to the masses is, ‘ Go to school, get good grades, go to college get your degree, and get you a well-paying job in corporate America and you will be all good to ride off in to a stable and secure sunset. Give me a break, I ask. America is home to over 540 billionaires, and over 10 million millionaires , however 69% of Americans don’t have $1,000 in savings.
The truth of the matter is that the masses were not taught the financial literacy that the ten percent was taught. If I know the rules of a game , and you don’t , I am certain to win simply due to familiarity and purpose. As long as you have this disproportion of knowledge you have, and will continue to have glaring disparities in the distribution of wealth. It is not hard to see where the term was coined ,’The Rat Race’. Picture a cheese pie and you have 90% of the people scrambling for 10% of the pie. This is where we get the rush hour traffic, this is where we get the minimum wage, this is where we get the 25% tax bracket and on and on.
The solutions are either those who want to succeed, make the decision to join the 10% by learning what they know and implementing the principles for self , or strike out on your own ( no pun intended) and create your own cheese pie so you can determine how it is distributed. Good luck on that second option, it would be like reinventing the wheel , which is totally unnecessary . The bottom line for all looking for financial success is to have a positive and confident mindset about money. Once you find a source that can establish that mindset whether it is scripture, or from books like Napoleon Hills’ Think and Grow Rich’, or Robert Kiyosakis’ ‘Rich Dad ,Poor Dad’ the key is to think the way wealthy people think. Next, it is essential to believe you could possibly be as successful in business as Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, and Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffet. Of course thinking and believing can only take you so far. The last and most crucial step to success happening for you is to take action, and I mean massive action. Remember ignorance on fire will get you further than knowledge on ice , so start with where you are and what you have and go from there. You can do it!

From Employee To Entrepreneur
Life has so much to offer when you realize when, and how to seize it. Ever since I picked up my first crayon and coloring book in kinder garden I was guided in a certain direction. The way I was shown was not necessarily bad, because there was a lot learned along the way. However , life’s experience has taught me that the road less traveled is usually the most beneficial, especially when it comes to the business world.
In the book , ” Rich Dad, Poor Dad ” written by Robert Kyosaki he references what is called the ‘Cash Flow Quadrant ‘. Picture a box with four separate parts. In the first box in the upper left hand corner is the ‘E’ section , for employee. This is where I resided for thirty plus years of my life, trading time for money and working to the beat of someone else’s drum. Directly below the ‘ E ‘ section is the ‘S’ which stands for self-employed. Being self-employed is a step up from being a employee, because you can now be your own boss. This is a significant step toward having freedom financially in one aspect, but limits your freedom in another. When you are self -employed you basically have the job of running your business. This means if you become ill and are not able to physically show up at your business revenue stops. The aforementioned sections of the Cash Flow Quadrant is the infamous ‘left side’. Ninety percent of the population in America resides on the ‘left side’.
Why do 10% of the people control 90% of the wealth ? When we look at the upper right hand side of the Cash Flow Quadrant we find the ‘ B’ section which represents the business owner of a system that leverages other peoples time, talent, and efforts to establish residual income usually through a turn-key operation . A good example of turn-key is the McDonalds franchises. The same way the french fries are cooked in Brooklyn, New York is the same way they cook them in Tokyo, Japan. This is one of the most effective ways to have a profitable business not only in America, but all over the world. I am fortunate to be a successful business associate with a fast growing company that is doing the same. http://www.doforself.myecon.net
The final section of the Cash Flow Quadrant is the most lucrative, and is the fun part. The letter represented here is ‘ I ‘ which stands for investor. Any one ever heard of Warren Buffet ? Here is where your money is utilized by you to make more money. The keys to financial freedom is to first start a business that you can leverage, second apply wise financial strategies by minimizing taxes, eliminating debt, maintaining good credit status, and third invest wisely invest to benefit from the amazing power of compound interest. You too, can travel the road of employee to entrepreneur and meet me at the top of the financial Mount Everest.
