We haven't worked in weeks and our income hasn't gone down (being self employed)
It is possible! Money can still come in while self employed.
Similar to being an employee and having paid time off (PTO), you can set up your life/business up to have income come in while you take time off.
Coach Mike has set up $2,500/month to automatically move money from the business to personal banking account. This income can come from online business (such as ILMA), being a contractor (engineering, IT work, live events worker, etc), investments paying dividents, or buying & selling things.
Be clear on your expenses! Know your numbers. This is necessary for how much money you need to bring in and how many different income sources you need to live your Ideal Life.
