The current fiscal recession has resulted in record unemployment levels recently. As a result, many people are currently unemployed and seeking a job. In both the good times and bad, it shows great wisdom to be well diversified in your income sources, more than ever in a business making money online. Whether as a fall-back position, plan B, or even change of career, these ideas can be used as motivations to strive after your goals.
In typical David Letterman style, we'll start from the top and work our way down:

10. Express yourself outside the norm: Although many world economies rest on an exceptional entrepreneurial spirit, most Americans are "programmed" to seek the "safety" of a W-2 employee. In the US now many more immigrants are establishing business ownership than Americans. In today's new job economy, most are now realizing that they need to change their mindset about what it takes to become successful.
9. Get more experience quickly: The quickest way to broaden your experience base in a variety of areas is to work on different responsibilities. Additional experience will expand your resume, as well as qualify you to work with a variety of new clients.
8. Become more creative: Leverage the "spark of genius" that exists within and exploit your own natural talents.
7. Tax breaks: There are two sets of tax rules in the US and many other countries. As a business owner, whether in a full or part time endeavor, many additional expenses become tax deductible.
6. Set your own course: You determine your own value in the marketplace of ideas and contributions. In addition, you decide on your career path through deliberate choice.
5. Your income potential is virtually unbounded: Your income possibility is unconstrained as you discover how to put into action the ideas of leverage and advance in leadership skills.
4. Gain new influence and friends: If you work 9-5 at a single employer, your contact base can become limited and stale. You will make many additional relationships as your work and interests reach into multiple disciplines.
3. Realize time freedom: Learn how to develop a systemmatic approach to business. Learn how systemmatize you efforts and soon you can be earning money 24 hours daily. Enjoy the time freedom you have created through this leverage.
2. You operate at less risk: Yes, it's true that "job security" has now become an oxymoron. You must diversify for true "life" security.
AND the #1 reason to broaden your income sources is...
1. To face your fears: "Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision," Ayn Rand. Learn to take charge of your fears and your income and options become limitless. We hope these reasons will supply the motivation required to enable the boldness needed to take life "by the horns," in a business making money online, generating passive residual income streams.
