Don't put all the eggs in one basket

Working from 9 to 5 during the last years and saving money brought me stability, however, that feeling vanished instantaneously last week when I asked for a loan for a small flat. At that point, doing the math, I realized that if I want to sleep well at night for the next 20 years I need to increase my incomes, in order to reduce potential risks. The big question is: How?

You will never be rich if you work for others

When I was a kid, my father used to tell me "You will never be rich if you work for others", in fact, the harder worker employee you are, the richer your employer becomes. Today I can't agree more with that, but creating a company is not something that will free my mind and let me sleep better at nights. Creating a startup implies working much harder and lots of new responsibilities which I don't feel like doing at this point in my life. However, there are alternatives.

Don't put all the eggs in one basket

The idea of creating this blog is to share my experience and lessons learned from this quest, whose ultimate goal is to find an alternative source of monetary income to my bank account. Rich people don't have one source of income, and working 200 percent for a company does not gives you that extra 100 percent benefit, therefore the idea is not to put all the eggs in one basket but distribute my work in several tasks that eventually will bring me additionally income.
