Having a finger in every pie can be very tasty!

As a rule, we are led to believe that in life, we go to school, grow up and get one job. But for some of us, one is not enough, one is boring and one is unsatisfying.  When I say job, I am of course here talking entrepreneurial ambitions, not 9-5 day jobs. I don't think anyone would cope with two of the latter!

Today's technology opens the whole world up to us from the comfort of our own home, so why not take advantage of it, if you can cope with the multi tasking and time? Why is it frowned upon and why do other people try and find the negatives in our excited adventures "Oh, but I thought you were a secretary, so how can you be an Aloe Vera seller too?" might be a common response.

But with technology and access to the web on our phones, our tablets and at home, and social media reaching out further than we could have ever imagined, why not give everything a go! As long as you're declaring your sales to the tax man and it's all above board, why not?

The advantages of having a finger in every pie is that life is exciting! When one project is on a go slow, you can work on another, while one might be earning you a nice bob, the other is supporting an amazing charity and bringing smiles to others faces. and whilst you may love being a car mechanic, getting down and dirty, getting the motor back on the road, what if you love your sparkly shoes as much as your car and want to sell your dream shoes to your friends and neighbours, earning yourself discounted pairs in the process.

I am a multi opportunist! If I had my own way (and maybe a LITTLE more time), I would not only be coaching and making other's lives better one at a time, whilst embarking on my children's clothing market, which can be managed whilst i'm asleep on ebay and facebook; I would also love to write a novel, play in a band and be part of a theatre group. Understandable, I know at the moment I don't have the time for ALL of that,  but if I did, what is to stop me? I could be a different person every day of the week, but still be little old me in the background.

Don't feel guilty or pressured into staying with one "job", take on what you can, stop and start as often as you like, give everything a go whilst it makes you happy, complete and possibly even rich!
