Multiple streams of Income;

The biggest misconception in this Century is the must to have multiple side hustles ( passive income) and that you can’t have one job etcetera. We keep forgetting not everyone is cut out for doing hustles, that’s why some people invest heavily in businesses and fail.

We can break it down into passive income (which creates a consistent stream of income) and active income ( income received for performing a service). So most times the side hustles/multiples sources of income are passive income.

One would say I am not cut out for the multiple sources of income, basing on the fact cause they wouldn’t be interested or it’s there nature. They completely know themselves, if they attempt to do such hustles they would fail.

Truth is some people are not cut out for handling so many plates at once.That’s the reason, there are various investing schemes to help and guide one who can’t contain side hustles to invest in other business ventures. For example investing in treasury bills or bonds, stocks, investing in a friends business (providing them with capital) and on the other hand one can head into Venture Capital.

We often get too stuck to the words in the street: that most often people want to impact there opinions on others. I once was in a conversation.

Individual ; “So guys it’s prudent to have side hustles”

Me; it’s not a must as there are people content with what they have. They appreciate the little they earn provided it executes their basic needs.

Individual ; “A a you are wrong, you will not prosper with one job”. Side eye, that’s like the back of my palms anyways, I state that everyone will make it at the end of the day. The one with a job that sustains him or her or one who has a job and multiple streams of income.

I actually believe in having multiple sources of income, but we ought not to push our agendas on other individuals. Cause there people who will have one source of income and it will be greater than one with more than 2 multiple sources of income. That’s Capitalism at play.

Truth is everyone has got a plan, it might be in the pipeline but they will exercise it in due time.

I guess or think; one should be advised according to the size of there cloth, how willing and able one is able to execute all the multiple sources of income. On the other hand this Century has enabled various platforms for one to invest in this is a great road to traverse through.
