Side Income
I listen to a lot of audio books on CD, and the latest one is Automatic Wealth by Michael Masterson. It’s pretty good so far. It’s not that I desire wealth for my own benefit, but I do desire to be wealthy and be a good steward of wealth. I believe that God can use me in greater ways when he trusts me with his resources.
So, anyway, one of the ideas in the book is creating multiple streams of income. He uses examples direct marketing and real estate to create multiple income on the side. But to me, a very reasonable idea would be starting an ecommerce store. There are all kinds of people out there making money online or using the internet to point to their sites about Portland wedding photography or whatever. Some stores sell pirate weapons and others sell other stuff. All it seems to matter is to find the right niche and go for it. I’m very intrigued by this idea and will consider it going forward. The biggest obstacle is just getting off my butt and doing something!
Like a Pirate
I find myself more and more wanting to be like a pirate. National talk like a pirate day and this recent museum exhibit I went to didn’t help. I mean come on, they are really cool. They get to be dirty, steal, get women, plunder villages, have a boat, go after treasure, talk awesome…the list goes on.
I was shopping the other day and picked up some sterling silver pirate jewelry and some pirate eye patches to add to my collection. They are really sweet. I also got something I needed for my home pirate decor. It all helps.
I encourage everyone out there to release the inner pirate in them. It will make you feel a lot better, trust me.
