Double Jobs and Part Time Income

I read in the Star today that it is common for people to have double jobs today - a second part-time income is necessary to cope with the rising cost of living.

I read about a Steve running a skating school by day, amd a home based laundry service by night.

I read about a Betty who is a sales executive, and earns at night as a waitress at night.

I read about a Mohd Hazri, an account manager, who manages an artist for that much needed second stream of income.

I red about a Personal Assistant named Mukhshirin who double deals her life as a voice over talent.

I read about a tax consultant named Stanley who adopts the clown to entertain children while making some side money.

And some people, even in this economic crisis, are living on what they used to do part-time, because that part-time income had grown to be bigger than their day job's salary.

And when people like us can work part time but earn more than what most people earn, we have most of our day off.

With which we look through the newspapers to see if there's any good movie we can watch.

With which we ask our children and spouse if they feel like shopping anywhere.

With which we have nothing better to do but to write blogs.

I'm not about to brag about my life here.

I'm just saying that you can start out earning that second income you need, but to plan that part time income to be more than what you are earning from your employment, you need to know how.

You can learn how through the Eilham Technopreneurs Development Programme, and the programme provides income-earning vehicles for you to try out as well.

You gonna get that second job anyway. Why not do it smart?
