I've been thinking about this for some time. One needs to have alternative sources of income (and joy) at once. I've been writing an essay about the importance of having multiple goals (I might publish it on my blog) and this gave me some new perspectives. I've become to a (temporary) conclusion that it's crucial to have alternative sources of income, and I'm currently working on making it happen. With multiple jobs one has a better idea of what is really important and which one is the best way to earn. I believe that each task gives ideas to other tasks and is a great source of inspiration for problem solving in any situation. Great post. I’ve been thinking about this for some time.

I attend user-groups and other quasi social hacker gatherings to build relationships with folks who, some day, may hire me (or help me get hired). I guess it works. Never been tested, though.

I've been wanting to write about this topic for quite a while already - as it sort of brings together many of my ideas about the work family balance and the role of work in our lives. If your job is your only income source, the fear of getting fired can greatly affect your ability to follow your passion and dedicate time to your family. What I'm trying to do here is to get rid of that fear by making good backup plans. This is still an ongoing experiment, and only time will tell how it'll work out in the long run. So far everything looks good... But anyway, more interesting stuff coming up tomorrow: tomorrow we're laying the foundation and getting started on the freedom project. :) Thanks, Petteri!
