I like how you turned Pat’s blog around and talked about Smart “Active” Income. Very refreshing.

“As you grow you’ll document everything, planning as if you’ll franchise the deal down the road.” This is something really important, but totally non-urgent type of thing. I’m guilty of not doing it myself (or rather stopped doing it after the initial documentation phase). Definitely want to keep that in mind!

Thanks Maren, been following your blog for a while, it’s great to see you growing!

Trading dollars for money is definitely undesirable. I did this for years. The projects, deadlines, and clients eventually wore me down. As a freelance writer, the words I type are my bread and butter and I was sick of looking at them! I changed my business model to focus on my websites and it’s much better now.

Great interview. It made me think about my business and how I can scale it. It’s time to re-examine my goals.

I have one client that calls me very day and if I don’t answer he calls every hour.

I guess it’s the 80-20 rule. 20% of your clients take up 80% of your time,

Maren Kate,

Thanks for the excellent advice! What if your passion is something that is hard to be translated online? For example what if you love cars?

Perhaps I am not opening my mind, but would appreciate your thoughts!

Thanks

Maren Kate,

I like the term “active income” it is so much more empowering than “trading hours for dollars” with a definite different shade in meaning too.

Of course I like “passive income” even better … lol… Maren Kate you have hit the nail on the head with the emphasis on systems. Without systems and some active attention, a passive income can over time, dwindle away.

Thank you for the great post. Wishing you continued success.

I also think it’s very important to decide which of your tasks can be done by other people. You can’t give a specific task which requires the skills you particularly have to someone who can’t do it properly.
