Many dream of leaving corporate life to become entrepreneurs, as the call for material independence is usually strong. However, this can be frightening for those who want to experience living outside of their accumulated experiences.

In fact, building a model to earn revenue from multiple sources requires developing the following seven habits:

1- Focus on your target audience
In a report published by the American "Business Insider" website, author Scott Mautz said that many who want to invest their expertise focus first on the product that they can sell and its form.

However, this should come after deciding which category to use and what you know will benefit. Having a clear picture of your target audience means you know who the product will not sell.

Once you know the people you will serve, determine the needs and demands they want that are not being met, and the urgent problems that need to be solved. In this way, you will create demand for your expertise rather than focusing on shared knowledge or solving a problem that no one faces. After all this is achieved, you should know what form your product will take.

2- Arrange your goals
Having a strong portfolio of income sources requires balancing things that bring short-term benefit with long-term goals. In fact, you need to pay bills today to create tomorrow's fortunes.

For example, many people want to write a book, a task that takes time. If your book is reasonably good, it is a great platform for creating great revenue sources, but at the same time, you have bills that you have to pay, so you can write for the benefit of a website, for example, or create brief educational courses online.

3- Maintain your network of relationships
The author stated that when he left the company he was working to become a speaker, writer, etc., he was not a member of Facebook or LinkedIn, and was about to lose contact with all the people he knew and the relationships he had developed over three decades of work.

It became clear to him later that 80% of his commercial activity in the first few years after his departure from the company came from parties he had known in the past, so your network of relationships should be preserved.

4- Think well
The writer emphasized that he had to make difficult choices even in creating different sources of income, as he avoided auditing and some consulting work to focus on activities that better align with each other and support his business model and interests.

In this regard, the writer said that the articles he writes generate income, but also give him important ideas and give him the motivation to write more books and create training courses. So he praised the need to do something you enjoy and integrate income-generating activities into an integrated plan.

5- Promote yourself
The writer stated that he hated selling books, training courses and the like to the list of people in his email, until he realized that he had great benefit in providing them. The truth is, there is nothing wrong with getting money for this benefit to make a living. If you are not promoting yourself, your experience will remain buried.

6- Reuse the content
This point is the first habit that you should develop, as the writer clarified that he reformulated the content he included in his books and made it suitable for training courses, classes and articles online, so be organized and save your work in a way that makes it easier for you to remember and reuse it.

7- Make your product safe and secure with its success
Many people do not convert their expertise into a source of money because they underestimate them. Trust what you make and acquire the habit of telling yourself again and again that if you create a product it will work, but in case of failure, find out the reason behind it and then keep trying.
