The Six Core Types of Income Streams
And why it’s important to understand them (especially if you want a creative career.)
I’ve always been excited by income streams.
It started with a lemonade stand I set up with my sister, Jill, on the bluff across the street from our house when we were eight and ten. We sold plastic cups of Kool-Aide to the multitudes of joggers and beach-goers who used that bluff every day.
And we made $100. In 1981.
We were rich!
Then our mother found out that our dad let us go to the bluff alone to sell lemonade to strangers and lost her mind. We weren’t allowed to do it again.
Later, Dad took us with him to conventions where he’d set up a booth to sell baseball cards. We’d bring a roll of paper towels and bottle of Windex — and make a killing cleaning glass cases for people and fetching lunch for venders who were alone in their booths and couldn’t leave their goods.
I think I was a born an entrepreneur.
