I learned from past mistakes to never put all my eggs in one basket. I've had great positions in companies that overnight decided to close up shop and move operations to another country among other things.
Until I have enough $$ in the bank to insure that all the bills can be paid if we lost ALL sources of income for at least a year, I do whatever I can to make money from all different sources so if something happens to one, something else can pick up the slack a bit.
I have my own online business (non-adult) that does well, I do the full day time job thing. I webmaster and do a couple of other things also.
Sounds great huh? Nope, as with everything else there are drawbacks that everyone should consider when doing multiple projects and that is spreading yourself too thin.
Each project I am involved in has potential to expand but there not enough hours in a day to do that. Yes, I could drop a couple of things, but then what if I drop the wrong ones? I live in constant fear that we might be broke again so I work far too much, enjoy life far too little.
