Why you need multiple sources of income

Happy Friday EduCreator,

2025 will not only be my (and hopefully OUR) best year ever, it will be my year of many firsts. Yesterday was my first time traveling solo with a very energetic two year old. We got to the airport way too early and our flight was delayed, but by the grace of God, we made it to DC safely and Romeo slept almost the entire plane ride.

This is not only my first time traveling with him, this will be my first time being in Parent #1 position for a full 11 days. 3 months after Romeo was born, his father quit his sales job because he was working full time on commission and not earning enough. This was right at the end of covid and times were surely tough.

We quickly decided to swap roles where he would be full time stay at home dad and I would revive my consulting business. Little did we know, the timing aligned perfectly with what will be one of the biggest releases in tech history, ChatGPT!

I dove headfirst into the earliest wave by sharing what I was learning with other AI enthusiasts on Clubhouse (a social audio app), launched my first AI tool in February 2023 (the One Click Course Creator) that went viral, and quickly earned more income than I could have ever anticipated.

And almost as quickly as it came, it went. That’s the problem with virality. It doesn’t stick. You can’t build a sustainable business off of it. If it weren’t for setting up multiple streams of income, we wouldn’t have made it through the lows.
