    I lost my job about a year ago, and my family and I want to move in less than a month so I don't have the option to look for a job. How do I build passive income and make REAL money? Do I invest in the stock market? Crowd funded real estate? Futures? Do I start a business and have someone else run it? And another thing...once I do start a business... How do I take it online so I can keep my employees safe with the covid 19 thing GOI g around?

    Good point, but don't forget they are just employee. Employees are valuable when they specialize, but Businessmen are different. Who do you think makes more money, a general clinic or a high paid pro doctor?. People are more likely to face general disease a LOT more. I myself have seen the growth of the owner of a small clinic build himself a great building with many doctors for himself, that's business thinking.

    I’m glad someone said it! I think creating multiple streams of income is horrible advice. In your video about having a work life balance, you said it best- “Humans are not machines.” We as humans are DESIGNED to focus, not be all A.D.D. and multitasking trying to be in a million things at once. Trust me- it adds a lot of unnecessary stress and inefficiency trying to balance multiple streams of income. Focus. Then diversify. That’s the name of the game.

    I believe having multiple streams of income depends on your desires, your goals, and your skillsets. If you're good at real estate, multiple streams of income are basically going to be multiple income properties that one will own, such as multiple single family houses, apartment buildings, or income-generating commercial properties. You're not going to find a real estate investor doing side hustles with Uber/Lyft, or becoming a social media maven. Likewise, if you are a serial entrepreneur, you are probably going to start a business, bring that up to great profitability, sell that, or leverage the profits to start or buy another successful business, and once you have obtained enough money to the point where you don't need to work anymore for money, you become a venture capitalist and help fund other businesses like Warren Buffett, Peter Thiel, Marc Andressen, or all of those guys on Shark Tank. Yet even those people usually specialize in a particular business field like technology, energy, finance, or health care. I think the big myth about multiple streams of income is that they are a vehicle to obtain great wealth when in reality it is a way to preserve wealth once you have already obtained wealth via a "single egg basket", such as through great stock investments, real estate, or your own business.

    Very good points. I always enjoy the information that I receive from tour videos, they have really helped me to grow in my business life and personal life. I agree that you should specialize first. Build your foundation then grow. However, I know there are those people that can make it work with multiple streams early on and I think you understand that also. To each their own. I have tried the multiple streams early on and found it detracted from my ultimate goal and took valuable time away from me truly being great at my primary business. So you just have to learn as much as you can early and hopefully not loose your main goals along the way. That is why I like your educational videos. You try to help people avoid some of those pitfalls early. Thanks for what you do.

    I have a welding business. We specialize in iron" stainless, aluminum products like making gates, railing, fence and other metal products. This has been my number one business for 20 years. We own the welding shop that we work out of. We have a few small side hustles but nothing that takes away time from specializing in our primary business. I believe that saving a huge amount of money and investing the money to make you more money is a good side hustle that you don't even have to think about while you're running your primary business. running too many multiple businesses can cause stress and confusion and also may cause the businesses to not run at optimal performance because you wouldn't have time to dedicate to each business individually.

We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise.

    Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $21k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

    I think to a certain degree that diversification can be good at the very beginning and at a later stage as you said. In this case I'm mainly talking about the people who may make ebooks or other streams that can become passive quickly. This could, no guarantees, could get you some extra cash for investing in the main goal and then it falls by the wayside. But, I think this could mainly apply to those in their 20s and maybe early 30s. I have seen people gain great benefit from something like that in the beginning, but only those who dont stop and rest on their laurels. It can be good for an initial boost that allows you to maintain crystal clear focus on the main goal since you may get to a point where that side income covers your basic bills. Other then that it is a little idiotic to waste time on 40 different things. My uncle is an orthodontist. Paid off his ridiculous student loans within the first 2 years. Same with his wife, my aunt, who is a dentist. Specialization is key in the long run. Sure, you can put money into rental properties, commerical or residential, so long as you can buy and then hand off all the work to someone else and watch the checks come in.

    Absolutely bang on Patrick. Focus is the key and once you achieve success in solving a particular problem of the industry then you can move on solve the other one . Jumping on many problems together just because you want to create back ups or generate multiple streams is strategically and practically not right. Focus keeps the passion alive and make you more intense especially to fight your competitors and you win one day while others leave the battle.

    Well the way Grant Cardone puts it is figuring out one stream of income, and only after that expanding to others, but to never abandon the first stream, so pretty much in agreement with what you seem to be saying. I think the key for specialization especially for the polymathematical or dynamic types is to revolve the various disciplines you've mastered around one central mission, making the cause the focus and everything else as supports to that zenith. In other words, leadership is the ultimate specialty.

    Did you consult the dictionary for that one? LOL Of course leadership can happen in any field that goes without saying! However just because you or your peers are in a specialized field does not make you a leader, yet positioning yourself as the leader, whether through excellence, vision or conviction, is a specialty that can apply to any industry!

    It depends on what kind of leadership. Usually leadership comes from at least one of two major things; execution and vision. Executive leaders lead through excelling in their specialty, while visionary leaders lead by selling their vision to those around them. In the first case, you are right, one cannot be a leader in execution in one field and stay a leader in execution in another, without starting anew. However when it comes to the visionary style leader, the bigger picture may be able to incorporate numerous industries and specialties. For example an executive leader is like a Gary V who puts execution above selling, he'll even be willing to lose some sales in the short term to execute better in the longterm, to ensure product quality. A more visionary leader is like a Grant Cardone who focuses on selling you his vision of empowering people to rise above the middle class, focusing more on selling you the idea, than the product. That's for marketing but in tech it's like Jeff Bezos who focused more on execution for the customer, while an Elon Musk focuses more on the overall vision. As you can see, though Bezos has eventually been able to branch out, he's taken a one-at-a-time approach, since that is best for execution. When you look at Elon Musk though, he has launched multiple things at once in multiple specialties, but he does so while revolving around a singular vision of a better future. So while Bezos is more policy based and procedural (satisfy the customer), Elon Musk is more goal-oriented and coordinating multiple things (make a better world). Of course both end up being both in the end, but it is undeniable that though the executive leaders can eventually branch out into other fields (as Bezos ended up doing) they're more focused on the process and accomplishing things one at a time, however visionary leaders can take on multiple projects at once for the one end goal and this is more of an approach that focuses on little accomplishments in multiple fields that support each other, eventually building a working and interconnect eco-system around that singular mission. In the end it ends up being the same, in that top leaders can manage multiple companies for different industries, it's just that one style is to expand out of one industry, where as the other style is to revolve it around brand leadership, based on a mission.

    I am in finance and a money manager. I can say with certainty that this "investing" kid doesnt know anything solid in finance from watching a few of his videos just now. I can also say that in finance, you need to specialize. It requires specialization even more than any other fields. When you get your CFA charter, you come talk to me. But you wont ever, because you refuse to specialize and an exam like that will show you that you know absolutely nothing. You will somehow convince yourself that you are better than it. Right? Very pathetic.

What kind of specialization are you trained and/or interested in and specialize in multiple aspects of that , that you can handle at one time. Or , if you have training in multiple industries , specialize in a few of those ; that you can do at the same time. These are not the only ways to look at this issue, but, I believe it opens up your options , while staying within reason. You also must know your intentions in business. Is financial security important or becoming rich or a combination of both.
