Predictable Income
starts here.
A practical system for building three-plus income streams so one paycheck doesn’t control your future.
The problem
You work hard, earn good money, and still feel one email away from panic.
One restructuring and your paycheck, health insurance, and sense of control can vanish in a morning. Housing, childcare, and basic life costs keep climbing while annual raises barely keep pace with inflation. Most people are not “bad with money”; they are just running their entire life on a single engine that can fail without warning.
Predictable Income is written for that moment when you realize the real risk is not trying a side project. The real risk is staying fully exposed to one employer.
What this book gives you
Predictable Income shows you how to design three connected income streams around the skills you already have.
First, you turn your job into a better asset. You learn how to negotiate comp, pick roles that build scarce skills, and treat each offer like a deal, not a favor.
Second, you build a freelance or consulting stream that fits around your day job. Not a fantasy “online business,” but a clear service, a basic offer, and a handful of clients that can add tens of thousands a year once you get moving.
Third, you build an investing system that takes your surplus cash and stacks it into assets over the years instead of letting it leak away into lifestyle creep. Defined quantitative targets, automation, and aggressive investing lead to financial freedom.
Who this is for
You are a thirty-something professional, often in tech or a high skill field, earning six figures but feeling strangely fragile.
You like your work, but you do not want your entire family’s future riding on your current boss. You have tried random side hustle ideas, bounced between podcasts and money hacks, and are tired of scattered tips that never add up to a real system.
You want a straight plan that respects your time, leverages your existing skills, and fits on top of a demanding job and real life. If that is you, you are the reader in mind for this book.
What is inside
Most people are never taught how to generate an above-average income that can compound into genuine wealth. This book fills that gap. It provides precise details on the income levels, streams, assets, and timelines needed to make financial independence a predictable outcome. You won't find vague advice or unnecessary filler here. Instead, you get a proven framework for building stability and control in a world being reshaped by AI, globalization, and inflation.
Inside, you will discover how to:
Achieve $4 million in lifetime career earnings through structured, three-year "tours of duty" in high-value roles.
Start a $100K-per-year freelance business using your existing skills, without quitting your day job.
Follow a clear, step-by-step investment plan to grow a $2.5 million portfolio that generates $100K a year in sustainable income.
Practical, grounded, and designed for action-takers, Predictable Income shows you how to build resilient income across every role you inhabit: employee, freelancer, entrepreneur, and investor. It's time to assemble a fleet of income vehicles built for the new economy.
Why this book is different
Most money books focus on spending less or finding a magic investment. Predictable Income focuses on earning more first, then putting that income to work with intent. It treats your job as an asset, not a trap, and shows how active income paired with simple portfolios leads to real net worth over time. This is written by operators who have earned across salary, consulting, and equity, built companies, and lived through layoffs and misses.
Meet the authors
Aaron Ross is the author of Predictable Revenue, the book that rewrote outbound sales in SaaS. After a failed startup, he joined Salesforce, helped build a major revenue engine, and later advised hundreds of B2B companies. He is also a father of ten, so his systems have to work in real life, not just on whiteboards.
Camila Farani went from helping in her mother’s coffee shop to building one of Brazil’s strongest investing and media platforms. She is an investor on Shark Tank Brasil, a best-selling author, and an operator who knows what it means to build from scratch.
Matt A. Smith is a sales and growth operator who has made millions as both an employee and a consultant. He helped drive major revenue at AppSumo and StackCommerce before launching Full Stack Sales, where he builds go-to-market systems for top software companies.
Together, they wrote Predictable Income as the book they wish they had at 30 when they were juggling high pressure roles, side work, and families.
What happens after you read it
You come away with a clear income structure, not a collection of ideas. Your career decisions become intentional instead of reactive. You have a straightforward freelance offer you can dial up or down, and a portfolio designed for both growth and access. The result is flexibility. You can step away from the wrong boss, pause without fear, and say yes to work because it fits, not because you need the money.
