Insight on Today's Quote
That quote is basically a “sleep better at night” plan. A single income can work, but it’s fragile—one delay, one emergency, one random life curveball, and everything feels tight. A second source doesn’t have to be huge. It can start tiny: a skill you sharpen, a side gig you build, or an investment habit you automate. The goal isn’t to get rich overnight. It’s to buy yourself options.
Step Up To The Challenge
Pick one “second-source seed” and do 20 minutes on it today:
Skill seed: Learn one small money-making skill (watch a tutorial + take notes).
Side-income seed: List one service you can offer (editing, admin, design, tutoring, bookkeeping) and draft a 3-sentence offer.
Investment seed: Set up or review an automatic savings/investing plan (even a tiny amount).
Selling seed: Choose 3 unused items, take photos, and draft a listing.
At the end, write one line: “My second source starts with ____.”
