Work ON Your Business (Not IN It)
As some of you who know me know, I've had a pretty awful 9 months or so and have not been on the internet much - let alone this forum - for quite some time.
During my 'long night of the soul', my main income stream online completely dried up. The reason being, it needed my continual daily participation which, frankly, was impossible.
The point? Well, you never know when (or if) the fecal matter chooses to pay the fan a visit in your life - but it pays to be prepared. Could you be away from the Internet and still be sure of a regular income?
I was stupid. Lazy. Apathetic. "It'll never happen to me" - well it did and I learned a very valuable lesson. Never rely on one source of income and/or automate your business(es) as much as you can. I was working too much 'In' my business and not 'On' it.
I know there's nothing new here for a lot of you reading this. You're the sensible ones.
If it makes some of you think how you would survive financially if you were unable to access the internet for whatever reason and for any length of time, then I'm happy.
Having just read that back to myself, it comes across as being overly pessimistic. It's not meant to be. Whilst I'm in a financially challenging postition right now, I'm strangely feeling happier than I have for a long time.
When the money starts flowing through me again, I'll have systems in place to ensure that I capture a good portion of it regardless of my 'being there' to supervise things.
Will you?
