A great friend once told me about how he he’d built his business on ‘four pistons’, four ways to earn money so that if one drops off for some reason, things wouldn’t go pear-shaped overnight.
It got me thinking, and I’ve revisited the idea ever since, always considering what my four pistons might be.
They’ve changed over the years but have always stayed true to two ideals:
- Do I enjoy it?
- Does it make money, if not now or directly, then possibly in years to come or indirectly?
What are my four pistons these days?
- My work at Amp Media
- Working as a freelance sub-editor at sports events
- Writing and self-publishing books
- Running pmsl, my business through which I blog twice monthly for a client in broadcast industry, and host and manage websites for about a dozen clients
