Long term stability with slightly lower payout, or high paying short term income

[darkdrift]

Just like the title says: What are you guys' opinion on which way to work. a more stable income but less payout, or a short term burst of high income. Please write your opinions on the matter as well.

I am not taking a side, just curious to your views on this issue.

this industry changes too often to plan for anything long term.

Yea i didnt think about that....you have a great point....Somethings you can plan long term, but for the most part just take as it comes...:rasta:

Some incomes can evolve from the one night stand flash in the pan revenue to a commited long burning hot revenue that just keeps on giving!

I lack the skills to bring on the money quickly, but would do both if I could. I'd hope a few short term persuits would evolve into long term. Multiple varied streams of income keeps the income stable. The difference between a 4 legged stool and a 2 legged stool.....one takes a lot more work to be able to stand it to reach higher.

Short term.. with net30 payments it already takes ages to get the money

But if I see a way to make a LOT for a short time I will do that.
Then take that $ and invest it for the long-term.
Make your money work for you.
