Be careful what you wish for

Did I just say I wished I had more time to work on building my residual income streams? It appears my wish has just been granted … I just received word from AltGlobe that they are suspending paid blog posts — apparently indefinitely — due to some difficulties with investors. It’s sad news — not only was AltGlobe my first regular freelancing gig, but it was also really cool to have regular writing assignments that dealt with my personal interests of yoga and spirituality. This also takes away a large chunk of my projected income for March. The good news is, I will have more time to devote to my editing project and to learning how to generate more income on ehow. Fortunately, I can afford to take the pay cut; it will just reduce what I am able to put towards my savings goal. But if I can get ehow to work for me, it could very well make up for the setback.

The funny thing is, if this had happened yesterday or even earlier today, I probably would have considered it a much bigger setback and would have gotten discouraged about my freelancing goals. But after reading a bit about earning residual income (check out Residual Income Web Blog, I’m really excited to start making my writing work for me.

That is one of my strengths, after all — I can always find a new project to get excited about.
