It is my preference to develop multiple streams of income by running businesses in different industries.  At the same time, it is rewarding to help others who want to do the same.  Many of my clients end up entering companies or industries that I have no affiliation with.  Yet, they always refer me to people who woud benefit from my products and services because they remember how much I helped them.  It is true what my mentor once told me, "If you want to be successful, help other people to do the same".
