Career Job vs Multiple Streams of Income


Today my wife and I have multiple businesses:  Counseling, Mediation, Law, and network marketing (Market America). We didn’t always believe in multiple streams of income. Originally I was a social worker, and my wife was a psychotherapist.  We were very comfortable in our careers, and actually insulted when someone asked if we were open to consider other opportunities. I later became a lawyer, and once again only focused on my career as a lawyer.  

Our experiences taught us that we had too many of our eggs in one basket. We discovered that ALL JOBS are temporary, whether you know it or not.  Lately I have been sad to see so many people discovering this fact.  When the rug is yanked it is a crisis. Being proactive means learning to keep your options open, even when you think “all is well”.  So... which are you?  

1.    “I’m busy. I’ve got a job and don’t have time to look at anything else?”
 
OR

2.   “I’m busy, I don’t know where I would find the time, but yes I’d like to learn about another opportunity?”
