Making An Extra Thousand Bucks
Making An Extra Thousand Bucks Recently the JibberJobber One Thing focused on developing multiple streams of income (which was a significant factor in me going out on my own, and moving forward with JibberJobber). Heres what it was: Can You Make $1,000 Extra This Year? Today! Tell me how you could make an additional $1,000 this year, OUTSIDE of your current job/employer. Iâm a fan of âmultiple streams of income,â and Iâve been thinking a lot about how to make an additional $1,000 a year. And then doing that 100 times would that be 100 different things, each generating $1,000? Iâm not sure, but itâs been on my mind. Iâve thought of a few things I can do, and have some of them in-progress. Think about what YOU could do to make an additional $1,000, and then tell me about it at http://www.JibberJobber.com/onethingblog. I hope this doesnât make me sound too materialistic, and money-hungry. For me this is diversification of my income, which should reduce income risk the same way a mutual fund should reduce investment risk. I threw this out as a One Thing because I have been thinking a lot lately what could I do to make an additional $1,000 next year? Could I think of 10 things that would each make an additional $10,000? Could I think of 100 things? Fun to think about, and yes, I came up with a number of ideas. Read the comments in the post, TR has a bunch of suggestions, and Alan Ferraro suggests something that I think could make you a lot more than $1,000. Its all doable. Heres an idea that I thought was perfect: Benton Cranes dad wrote a book and self-published it 10 years ago. Benton came across the inventory and thought it would be cool to move them for his dad, so he made a website. Go check it out, its a very simple website, something that you (and perhaps your high school neighbor) could put together. And hes moving his dads inventory for him. This isnt a huge business, its simply a way to create a revenue stream. It isnt going to require Benton to work hours, and shift his energy and focus elsewhere its just something to diversify his current income. He probably wont get rich from this, but its a terrific example of doing a small thing that could make a difference financially. The book is Mannys Christmas. I have a copy but havent cracked it yet its a short story, which apparently is the type of Christmas book that sells well if you are in the holiday mood, go check out Mannys Christmas, its only $9.95 (which includes SH). What can YOU do, outside of your employer, to make an additional $1,000 next year?

Why a Great Headhunter Needs an Understanding Partner
Why a Great Headhunter Needs an Understanding Partner My wife, Senda, is an amazing woman. Hey, sheâd have to be to put up with my nonsense. Today though, she said something to me that showed that not only had she been married to me for a long time, not only does she know me so well, but she is the wife of a head hunter. That she understands what I do for a living. When I first started this job, way back in 1998, business was hot. I was a 20 something kid, making money hand over fist while learning the job at the same time. It was a good time to be in information technology recruiting. If you had a heart beat, took a course on COBOL in 1979 in Leningrad, Beijing or the CHUBB institute and had once worked for longer than 3 months in Financial Services, there was an opportunity for you. On top of that, there was commission in it for me. Business was so hot that I was making calls after 7:30pm from home. Senda was not pleased⦠âJeff, you are at your desk at 7:30am. You donât get home until 7pm. Then, you eat dinner, flirt with me for 10 minutes, and get back on the phone! I need more of your time!â I replied very simply. âSen. If I told you that a 30 minute call was a 50/50 shot of making $6000 would you do it?â I think everyone of us head hunters understands that, and she got it, too. Flash forward 15 years. I just tried a job for 6 months recruiting a different line of business. It was all virtual which I loved, in theory. I am a 1960s hippie at heart. I hate dress pants (Heck, like Homer Simpson, I plain hate all pants!) I hate office politics. I hate time vampires that every office has. Plus, I have been known to be a Time Vampire and I didnât want to suck anyone else down with me. After 6 months of it, I loved my firm and the people I worked with but the money wasnât there. In addition, the LOB had a much slower turn-around time than I was used to, and I missed the excitement of IT. Senda and I sat down and talked about it. I did what I always tell my candidates to do. Make a T-Square, write down everything, from money to quality of life and compare. Then make a decision. Suffice to say, I called my contacts and I am now back in an office, having fun, and just scheduled my first interview after only 6 business days here. So, I have to wear dress slacks⦠It happens. Cut to this Morning. NYC is rainy and humid at the same time, as NY weather gets sometimes. I have a chance to land a major account today⦠and that means putting on a suit. The only thing I hate more than wearing pants is going whole hog, and putting on the suit and tie. Not only is it uncomfortable, it isnât me. I never feel quite right. I began whining to Senda. âBoo-hoo-hoo, I hate wearing a suit. I hate this aspect of the businessâ Senda grabs my shoulders, looks me in the eye, and pretty much repeats back to me what I said to her 15 years ago about night calls⦠Even better, she hits my Hot Buttons! âJeff,â She says, âIf one day of wearing a suit puts more money in Maxâs (our 3 year old) College fund and pays for a trip to Harry Potter World, then wear the suit for a 50/50 shot of winning the client. Iâd do itâ That is what we do for a living. We often find our job to be feast or famine. Our commission checks vary from month to month. When you get so frustrated you say, âForget this, I am going to go sell cars!â and then that Friday get a comp check of a 5 digit number. Like Michael Corleone, âEvery time you think youâre out, they pull you back inâ. This is the business we have chosen. From night calls to slacks at the end of the day, we do what we need to do. Having a friend and partner who understands this makes it all the better.
