After a long hiatus, Ben returns with a new episode of the HomeWorkingClub podcast.

He discusses a "three pronged" approach to self-employment, recommending consecutively working on slow-burn passive income projects, "bread and butter" client work, and side gigs and "money taps."

This approach to working freelance delivers variety, flexibility and a diversification of income that can help through periods of recession and uncertainty.
