303: The 15 Income Streams I’m Working on Right Now
Could you live for free?
That’s what The Side Hustle Snowball framework proposes: to erase your expenses with new income streams.
Start out with your smallest monthly expenses and work your way up:
- Gym memberships
- Life insurance
- Netflix
- Utilities
- Cell phone bill
- Car payments
- Car insurance
- Day care
- Student loan payments
- Rent or mortgage
We all want our business to cover our costs of living and then some, but the “Snowball” framework (apologies to Dave Ramsey) allows you to work your way up to that ultimate goal of financial independence.
Celebrate the small wins along the way.
In this post / podcast episode, I’ll break down the 15 income streams I’m working on right now. Which ones can you start or add to your existing business?

302: Catching Up with the $30k a Month Piano Teacher — How He Grew His Business While Cutting Back His Hours 97%
Things were going great; he had a bunch of happy customers, he’d quit his engineering job to focus on it full-time, and he was doing what he loves.
You might remember Jacques Hopkins from episode 223, where he broke down how he turned his hobby of playing piano into a solid $20k a month online business at Pianoin21days.com.
BUT….
Between customer support, email, social media, phone sales, and all the other day-to-day tasks, it was taking a full 40 hours a week to run.
Since then, Jacques set out to automate, optimize, and outsource different elements of the business. Those initiatives cut back his time commitment to maintain the biz to just 10 minutes a day — and still grew revenue to $30k a month.
Jacques isn’t one to sit still, he’s using his newfound time freedom to work on more strategic growth projects and his other project; TheOnlineCourseGuy.com.
He’s launched a podcast interviewing other people who have successfully launched online courses, and sells his own course giving customers a behind the scenes look at how he built and sold his courses on Pianoin21days.com.
Tune in to hear how Jacques “plugged holes” in his course, outsourced time-consuming repetitive tasks to a virtual assistant, and successfully increased his revenue while reducing the time spent on his business.
