27. Multiple Income Streams: Stop Being Precious, Start Being Strategic.

I lost my six-figure job on a random Tuesday. One Teams call, and poof - gone. That day I learned the $50K lesson: depending on one income stream in 2025 is financial suicide. ??

Hard truth: The average millionaire has 7 income streams. Not from greed - from necessity. Here's what I learned building mine:

Immediate Cash (Next 30 Days) ??

• Package your skills: My "marketing audit bundle" - $2K/weekend
• Rent what you own: Parking spot = $400/month
• Strategic gig work: Delivery during surge only = $45/hr
• Corporate consulting: 3x individual client rates

Growth Phase (90 Days) ??? Pick TWO, master them:

• Digital products: Templates $27-97 each
• Content creation: One platform, 3x weekly
• Investment dividends: Start with $100/month
• Affiliate marketing: Only what you actually use

Scaling Phase (6 Months+) ??

• Automate top performers
• Cut bottom 20% of efforts
• Reinvest 50% of extra income
• Build systems, not side hustles

Reality Check: Your job isn't your career - it's just one income stream. In 2025, multiple streams aren't optional, they're survival.
