Working on Multiple Streams of Income

 

As an online preschool teacher, and homeschool mother, I enjoy the work I do. I love preparing and delivering lessons; I love creating activities and printables that get children excited to learn.

As I learned the technology to deliver classes online, as I'm continuing to learn varying marketing strategies, I am constantly coming across new "money making opportunities." I have heard from different entrepreneurs, that you need to have multiple streams of income, if something suddenly stops working.

Being away from the 9-5 job that most of my friends have, I'm not worrying about being laid off, but being my own boss requires me to be diligent with my accounting practices, because I don't earn a paycheck every Friday.

When one is self-employed, there are so many things that you have to consider, that you may not have thought of before as simply an employee.

As I look into various affiliate programs, and educational platforms, I want to promote something I believe in. It truly is a character thing for me. I am an honest person, with integrity, that desires to help others.... not simply sell them another program. As I am learning, I am sharing, and little by little I am gaining a following. Hopefully I can inspire someone else to climb out of their comfort zone and go for their dreams!

  I have often wondered why the life of servitude made me a victim of greed. For years I looked for a way to earn a living while staying at home with our children. I love helping people, but in our pursuit of trying to have a business that could help us serve others, people took advantage of us and over the course of several years, "robbed" us of thousands of dollars. It was hard for me to comprehend how people could live with themselves after taking money from people who were already poor, and instead of actually helping them, tried to upsell them. On top of that, I wasn't interested in becoming a millionaire! I wasn't interested in having a million dollar home or a brand new car right off the sales lot! I enjoy traveling, but I don't need to vacation 12 months out of the year. I actually like staying home & being with my friends and family and serving others. My desire was to serve the Lord and help others, but it became increasingly difficult as I hadn'

Why Stop Dreaming When You Wake Up?

 I have been encouraged over the past few months to "dream big!" What is it that you really want? I had been stuck in my small world of contentment, not realizing I was actually being complacent. I was truly happy doing what I loved. I did not care that I did not own a big house or new car. I loved the simple life, and did not seek after high paying jobs. But my jobs were not paying the ordinary expenses of life. I realize I have potential - I could be doing more  with the gifts God has given me. I admit to being lazy and undisciplined. I take the easy route when given a choice and avoid hard things, telling myself it's not worth my effort or energy to pursue. (In other words, I didn't want it that badly.) So as I look towards my future and what I could be , if given the opportunity; I had to realize it was going to require work. What's that saying? "Anything worth pursuing is going to cost you in one way or another." I had just not been willing to attem

October 19 - Evaluate Your Life Day

I realize as I type this that I am a day late, but this is the first time I've heard of " Evaluate Your Life Day." At our home we usually joke about Hallmark creating  more holidays so they can sell more cards & gifts, but sometimes it's nice to focus on something special for a specific day. This holiday looked interesting, to say the least. THE HISTORY OF EVALUATE YOUR LIFE DAY Evaluate Your Life Day was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy, founders of Wellcat Holidays. The website specializes in creating quirky and fun holidays for celebrating life. So far, they’ve created about 80 existing holidays, including “For the Love of Mike Day” and “A Room of One’s Own Day”. Evaluate Your Life Day is all about self-evaluation and self-assessment, which involves assessing yourself in terms of what goals you’ve achieved. This assessment is carried out with the aim of becoming better and not for the purpose of self-judgment or criticism. In 1988, the Self-Evaluation Maintenance
