One Way To Skin A Cat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let’s put this one to bed so that we can move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The takeaway, in this sense, is that there’s usually more than one way to do something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether that’s solutions to a problem or just different ways to go about a certain task or situation you might be contemplating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diversification Or Divide And Conquer. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I am obviously in ‘idiom’ mode. I suppose that’s better than clich\u00e9s or is it as long as it’s short? Maybe it should read ‘idiot mode’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s cut to the chase and I’m talking about more arrows in my quiver, or more strings to my bow, if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The subject matter is income streams, plural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see, for the best part of a year I have been concentrating my efforts in the world of finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not the exciting world of crypto or forex, not even stocks and shares. My area of expertise has been loan brokering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did I Say Expertise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
My bad. Expert I am not. It would be more truthful to say that I am a student of the art of loan brokering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though I am a quick study, my progress has been slow and somewhat arduous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, as the late, great Steve Jobs said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Learn continually, there’s always ‘one more thing’ to learn!”<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s the thing about webinars, they are a little bit shiny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, it doesn’t matter the ‘how did you get into loan brokering’, it’s more about the ‘why’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like the idea of being able to provide funding to those who need it. I’m not just talking about aiding and abetting those just trying to make a profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think, those who are looking to take the first steps into business, whether that be in real estate or a more traditional ‘bricks and mortar’ model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s right, 2021 bought in the grand total of zero dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was going for ‘nil pointe’ with a subtle French accent. Turns out that there’s actually a definition of it in the ‘Urban Dictionary’? Nil pwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However you spin it, I earnt nothing and my only excuse, not that I am relying on this, was that I only started in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I promise this is the last adage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTreat your business like a business and it’ll PAY you like a business.<\/strong> Treat your business like a hobby and it’ll COST you like a hobby.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I was guilty of the above, though it was more through ignorance than a lack of drive, I just didn’t know any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the start of 2022 I made a conscious effort to turn things around. I studied, watched videos and put together a plan of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I aligned myself with a company that had an internal mentoring program and a community that was geared towards helping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, now there was no excuse, or at least that’s what I believed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contrary to what you might have heard, lending money isn’t as easy as you might think due to the conditions laid out by the various lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Asa result of this, 2022 hasn’t gone quite as planned but we’ll come back to that on the next post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bewildered?
