Diversify your income streams

Diversifying your income streams needn’t be complicated.

If you have a physical bricks-and-mortar business? You can still expand your reach by learning to market and automate selling your products/services online.

If you have a particular skill/area of expertise? You can also ‘monetise’ this; here are some ideas…

⏹️ Provide consultancy services (and get paid for it)

⏹️ Start an online membership group – where people pay to be coached/guided by you

⏹️ Teach someone what you know – face to face or virtually (Zoom, Video, etc)

⏹️ Share (and sell) your knowledge by packaging it into eBooks, Training videos

⏹️ Learn to use ‘automation’ to market and sell your products/services for you 24/7

You’re only limited by your creativity, imagination…and courage.

Diversifying your income streams, gives you more peace of mind, should one of them drop out? You STILL have others to keep you propped up.

6 Steps to Discover Your Purpose: Make Money Doing What You Love

Have you ever wondered what your true purpose is—and how to turn it into a career or business you love? Finding your purpose isn’t just about self-discovery; it’s about aligning your passions, skills, and the world’s needs. Here are six steps to help you uncover your purpose and make a living doing what you love.


1. What Is Purpose?

Your purpose is the unique reason God placed you on this earth. It’s what energizes you, fulfils you, and aligns with your values. When you find it, it acts as a compass, guiding your decisions and giving your life meaning.


2. Why Align Purpose with Your Business?

Building a business around your purpose creates more than just income—it brings joy, motivation, and long-term fulfilment. When your work reflects your heart, you’re more likely to persevere and succeed, even in tough times.


3. Revisit Your Childhood

What excited you as a child? Think back to hobbies, dreams, or talents you pursued without prompting. These clues often point to your natural inclinations and passions.


4. Assess Your Current Skills

What are you good at today? Your unique skills—whether in communication, creativity, or problem-solving—are tools you can use to serve others and build your business.


5. Explore What You Love

Ask yourself: What can’t you live without doing? What would you do for free? These are the things that bring joy and energy to your life. When you love what you do, work feels less like a chore and more like a mission.


6. Discover What the World Needs

Your purpose should meet a need in the world. Research trends, pain points, and demands using tools like Google, Amazon, and YouTube. Look for gaps you can fill with your skills and passions.
