Many people today have income that comes in from more than one source. For example, someone might have both rental properties and a business which provide him income. This is excellent, having separate sources of income, but there is a better way.

If you want to advance a step further, you’ll need to combine your sources of income. Why? Before we can answer this question, we must look at timetable for growing these fortunes from the beginning.

These streams of income resemble snowballs. They started as nothing but loose snow, and they were packed together by the hands of the business owner into a ball shape. The owner would then push the snowball along the ground; if he did not push it every step of the way, it would not move. Eventually, however, as the snowball picked up snow, it would also pick up momentum. Soon, the ball would be rolling down the hill by itself.

Most people do not realize that the owner must now pay even more attention to the ball, making sure that it does not roll in the wrong direction.

All this becomes a problem when you have three balls, you cannot steer all three at once. So, your real estate is taking off, and you have your business taking off. You are going to have to sell one and put the money into the other, because you cannot focus on both of them at the same time. This is why it is important to combine them early in the game.

Ray Kroc, who founded McDonalds, did this in his business. He actually owned two companies, which surprises many. He owned a real estate company and his well-known restaurant business. Many who buy property will buy a piece of property and will have a tenant pay him or her rent to use it. Ray Kroc, by combining both of his businesses, was able to have those who bought his franchises buy the property for him and still pay him rent to use it.

Because he combined his snowballs, he was able to acquire property that paid him for free. Any work that is done grows both businesses at the same time, rather than only one.

You must combine the snowballs. You must focus your efforts.
