Laying a Foundation for your Business
Running a business gets so demanding, that we often can't see the wood for the trees. We become preoccupied with ensuring that everything in the business works the way it is supposed to. In other words, we spend most of our time working in the business.The problem with this oper

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is a highly-regarded time-tested financial concept. The idea is to spread the risk around and to not be dependent on any one source of income. It was good advice for our grandparents a hundred years ago, it's good advice for us today.

So how does this apply to us now? It means that we should "diversify our portfolios" and develop multiple streams of income. This concept is developed rather well in the teachings of the "5 Bucks a Day" program. Every week, look for an income stream that has the potential to give you $5 a day in income.

In and of itself $5 is not much. But if you keep on adding income streams of $5 a day at the rate of 1 per week, at the end of a year 52 weeks times $5 per day equals $260 per day. It adds up. At the end of the second year your income hits $520 per day.

Of course, these things don't develop in straight lines. Some ideas work better than others; the income could be more or less, but the principles remain the same.

An example of an income stream that could easily produce $5 a day or more could be paid online surveys. Pick a good guide company (an established one with a refund rate of 3-5% and a strong 60-90 day money-back guarantee), and you could be set up with most of the work done in a week's time.

The work would be in applying to the 150-300 different survey makers on your guide company's list of recommended survey makers. With a little help from RoboForm or similar software to help you fill out the repetitious parts of the application forms, you could have all the applications made in a week or less.

Then all you have to do is accept the offers to take paid surveys that come in. You spend a few minutes actually filling out the survey questionnaires, afterwards you just wait for your checks to arrive in the mail. Almost all the work is in the setup. Maintenance is easy.

Most report monthly income from online paid surveys and associated activities (focus groups, product testing, etc.) of $200 - $600, which comes to $6 to $20/day. Once it is set up you just use a little time to maintain it and turn your main attention to your next potential income stream.

You build your financial security the same way you build a strong, secure house: one brick at a time.
