Passive Income is Financial Freedom
A wise person once said that he would rather earn from 1% of 100 people’s efforts than earn from 100% of his own. This man then became one of the wealthiest men in our history - James D. Rockefeller. He introduced many concepts that allow businesses to prosper, including leverage and working smarter. Do you feel as though there is a limit to how much money that you can make because you cannot work any harder?
The solution to your problem is the idea of passive income. Passive income is the idea of setting up streams of income that will work for you without you having to invest your time. Once you set up a passive income, it mostly works on autopilot and you can make money while you are working on other endeavors in life.
Before we go further, I’d like to ask this: are you getting ahead of inflation? Statistics show that most Americans are not. Did you know that the average household income for Americans has only increased by 30% since 1968, and yet inflation says that a dollar in 1968 is worth 6 times that of today? That means that we need to earn around $225,000 a year to live at the same standards as the average income of 1968. We can get to this level by having multiple passive incomes.
The idea of residual income is a form of passive income that relies on making money off of a product that you only work on once. After you create this product, you establish an automated service to deliver and receive payment for this product.
Some of these methods do not need any of your involvement such as e-books. Others do require a small amount of individual effort. Examples of this are things such as an insurance worker phoning a consumer with regards to a renewal, which is a task you can often assign to a secretary.
The idea of leverage is exactly as Mr. Rockefeller put it - have other people do your work for you. You can pay people a respectable income to create you more income. You will need to invest money to make this happen, but it is much more powerful and effective if you can successfully apply labor income. This approach can easily double your earning potential.
Another type of leverage is active leveraged income. This type does involve your efforts, but by getting more people involved in your project, you can earn even more money. You do not have to hire someone because your recruits will want to do this for you. This can greatly enhance the return and get you closer to your financial freedom.
You can have the freedom to do whatever you want to do and be whatever you want to be sooner than you think without being concerned about money. If you can simply create an item people will continuously purchase, encourage others to assist in the resale of your product, and find methods to make money off of the labor of other people, you will establish this freedom that you, and many others like you, have been searching for their entire lives.
