7 Streams of Income for 2022 

You can read the entire article here:

From the article:

If every year you can replace an additional 10% of your current income doing work you love, you can achieve financial freedom in no more than 10 years.

My return to full-time work combined with my side projects provides an opportunity to put this plan into action. As with any technique that I implement, I will be putting on spin on it. In this case, I’m going to apply the rule to multiple side projects to provide diversification and acceleration.

If you’re living the digital nomad lifestyle or are planning to, you may be looking for a full-time job and concerned about whether prospective employers will be OK with location independence. 

I talk about some of the issues that they may have with you working abroad and share my experiences with companies that both allowed and prohibited remote work outside of my home country.
