Having a single stream of income leaves you at the mercy of circumstances

In today’s world, one of the most terrible mistakes one could make is to put all of one’s eggs in a single basket. More than ever, people are losing their jobs. Nobody’s job is secure, not even those with specialized skills. Most companies won’t even think twice before cutting you loose if some unforeseen event in your personal life causes you to miss work for a couple of days.

Even most people with their jobs “intact,” so to say, find it difficult to make ends meet — they live from paycheck to paycheck and find it hard to keep food in the fridge, let alone save up after they settle their monthly bills.
Working too hard at one job that barely sustains you is not worth it. ~ Aubrey Hall
No matter how secure your job seems right now, you need to have a means by which you can sustain yourself if you get fired. Besides your 9-to-5 job, you must have other sources of income. Relying solely on one source of income is a huge mistake, and its consequences can be detrimental. A single misadventure could potentially cost you everything.

The truth is, you don’t have to put your focus on one job that barely puts food on your table. You can pick up other activities that will bring in money while you work on your full-time job. Thanks to the Internet, you have access to a wide range of resources at your disposal. You don’t even need to learn a new skill from scratch.
Monetize your hobbies and passions.
Those doodles and paintings you’ve been dumping in the trash for years because they were not good enough can be turned into merchandise or sold to be used by others. And those skills that come naturally to you, there are millions of people all over the world who want someone to teach them for a price that reflects the value of the service.

You can spend your time doing what you love and turn it into a significant source of income so that when you lose one source of income or need a little extra money, you don’t have to find yourself at the mercy of others.

In the following sections of this summary, you will discover some vital keys to starting a self-sustaining business that will free you from the looming perils of relying on one income stream.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
