Often when we hear the term "multiple revenue streams" we might think, having multiple businesses, investment properties, investing in stock, or joining a MLM. Although I admit I'm a multi-passionate entrepreneur, I can honestly say, this is not usually the most efficient use of your time. Adding these types of revenue streams can make it more difficult when you're trying to get your primary business off the ground. Today on the show, I'm talking about about how you can diversify the business you already have and ways to add additional revenue streams - in an easy and organic way. Thanks for listening!
