The speaker is considering diversifying from writing daily newsletters to focus on other business ventures such as a personal finance business. They have already started a personal finance business called Jared Dillion Money and have created products and courses for it. The ultimate goal is for the new venture to be successful enough to allow the speaker to scale back or walk away from the daily newsletter.
