Don't put all your eggs in one basket. This was not a phrase heard by many of my generation. We believed at that time in security, in company loyalty, in pensions!
The folks who chose to start their own businesses were rare, back then most people still believed in the white picket fence and marriages that lasted forever. Most did not think of Wanting it All which is far more common now.
Freedom that is. Freedom and Security. The security of knowing that whether you are at your desk or vacationing at a quiet lake spot, that the money was rolling in. In Dorie Clark's Entrepreneurial You: Monetize Your Expertise, Create Multiple Income Streams, and Thrive I read about some individuals who recognized that what they wanted was not to carry around the egg basket. They wanted to choose how their lives should look not told how it should be.
This book reached me through NetGalley, I wasn't prepared for the number of zeros that the case study participants requested and earned. This was out of my realm. All I was looking for were some ideas for regular people (like me) to have a few more deposits into the checking account than withdrawals.
I was becoming intimidated through the chapters of hearing of six or seven figure incomes. I read about selling your system, connecting with influencers, podcasts, and email subscription lists in the thousands. But what this want-to-be entrepreneur needed didn't come until Chapter 12. I needed encouragement to discover the type of entrepreneur I wanted to be.
