Transcript

Standing on more legs means simply you have to have more income sources. When you are an employee, you have mainly one income source, your employment. But as a freelancer, like I was talking about in the previous lessons, as a freelancer, nothing is for sure your life is very flexible, and there can be surprises and you have to be flexible and prepared that we were very used very well earning a lot and other periods, not so much. spending more legs is one way to provide the freedom. You need to leave the freelance life. Aim for this from the beginning.

I have this in mind from the beginning. Don't aim just to do one thing. Figure out what is what you like to do and figure out other income lines. For example, if there is a hobby that you could monetize, so make money out of it. I read once an article about someone who was very much into wines. So he just started to blog about it and his blog grew into a web page and the web shop, and it is generating a very big income to him.

Now, think about this, or at the start, you can be part time freelancer, keep your day job, or get a part time job and be a part time Freelancer have a side job to pay the bills, at least for the beginning. For me, one of the legs I'm doing is online education. As you see as in this course, I'm selling online courses on several platforms, so I'm selling them on my websites as well. And this is creating a semi passive income for me. For us, creatives, designers, photographers, writers, it's a great way to make money to sell your resources online. So you can sell photos, graphics, blank files, resources, anything and dollar by dollar, make money out of it.

Tutoring and mentoring online or live is also a nice way to get some income teach to people what you do. It's great. No one's gonna steal your job, they feel better you earn money with it. It's a very nice side income. There are many ways you can generate side incomes and send them more legs as a task. Now sit down and think about it write a list.

What ways you could make money to have your freelance job. Of course the first one has to be your main interest. Like for me being a graphic designer fine. But what do I do when I don't have many clients? How am I earning money in the month when I'm not having many jobs? So figure this out for yourself and build up a system around it.

For me now how it goes. Half of my work is not being graphic designer. Half of my work is marketing myself talking to clients and figuring out new ways new online and local ventures what I can used to create more income for myself and build a future life and the present life builds the life I want. That is why standing on more legs is very, very important.
