Topic: Mii’s (Multi Income Individuals)
Location: Bournemouth
Topic description: What is a Multi-income individual? A Multi-income individual, or Mii for short, is anyone who has more than one income stream. People can earn a secondary income in a multitude of ways - from Airbnb hosts and bartenders to eBay sellers and film extras, as well as starting their own business. His current company recently commissioned a report into these Multi Income Individuals? Why? Because they wanted to champion the multi-income space for everyone who earns an additional income; that’s why they commissioned the Miis report with leading economic consultancy and research firm, Cebr. Many business owners are already considered as Mii self-starters who have seized the challenge of earning an extra income around their main job/business to enjoy greater financial freedom, pursue a passion or simply to beat the cost-of-living crisis.
