#7. How to Balance Multiple Income Streams Without Losing Focus

Drip Trickle Flow Flood

In this episode of Drip Trickle Flow Flood, we answer our very first listener question—and it’s a good one. Melissa Hoffman, a holistic mindset coach and nervous system expert, asked:

“How do you balance starting a new side project that’s different from what you've been doing while you're still growing the business you're working on? How do you do that without getting distracted or confusing people around what you do?”

Melissa is currently growing her women's empowerment coaching business, while also wanting to relaunch a boudoir photography business in a brand-new city. If you’ve ever juggled two different revenue streams—or even considered it—this episode’s for you.

We unpack our own experience with multiple income streams and share honest, tactical strategies for how to bring in more income without bringing on burnout or confusion.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why your “flow” and “trickle” don’t need to happen at the same time, and how to plan for that
• How to be realistic about time, energy, and which stream to prioritize first
• The importance of choosing what you can live with for the next 2–7 years
• Tips to batch your creative energy and create guardrails around your excitement
• How to explore new ideas without dropping your current obligations
• Why it’s okay (and powerful!) to publicly announce your next project, even if it’s not fully built yet
• How to blend or “swirl” different income streams under one personal brand or message

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling pulled between projects, confused about how to market your multiple offerings, or unsure which stream deserves your time—this episode gives you the tools to move forward with confidence, clarity, and intention.

Ask Yourself: Which of your income ideas is your flow? Which one could be your drip or trickle? Are you giving each the time it realistically deserves?
