After her husband died in 2018, this speaker had built 13 income streams that let her take a year off to grieve with her teenage twins instead of scrambling for work. She faced five major crises: death, divorce, diagnosis, downsizing, and job loss. Without those diversified streams, she says the family would have collapsed.
Chapters
It's death, divorce, diagnosis, downsized from the economy, or being dumped from your jobs. Most people, yeah, 3, 4, 5, that's what people are dealing with. All of these are emotionally devastating, let alone financially devastating, and you couple that together and literally it will break a person. And so this was created after my husband had passed away in 2018 very tragically. And I, through a whole series of events, had actually created 13 streams of passive income for my family. So I was emotionally devastated, but had I not created those 13 streams, like, that gave me the freedom to take a year off and grieve with my 14-year-old twins at the time and figure out what we were going to do next. Again, we didn't plan for my husband to die. We didn't plan for the economy to crash. We didn't plan for, you know, any of these other 5 Ds to happen, but they happened. And so having those multiple streams of passive income in place to be able to take care of our family during those very devastating times makes a huge difference. And then we go on and we create multiple streams of like income 8, 9 through 40, and those can actually go make an impact in the world, which is what Tracy had alluded to a few minutes ago.
