There Is Nothing Passive About “Passive Income”
I was 24 years old when I first heard the term “passive income.”
The internet made it sound like the greatest invention since gluten-free bread:
- “Work from anywhere in the world”
- “Earn money while you sleep”
- “Never need a 9–5 job again”
And so on.
For years, I dedicated myself to learning everything I could about this elusive destination — the lush, castle adorned mountaintop where money grew from trees. I downloaded PDF guides. I lurked SEO blogs and sales funnel Facebook groups. I watched YouTube video after YouTube video, trying to wrap my head around exactly what I needed to do to unlock what I assumed was The Career Path of the Century.
I never quite figured it out.
Then, when I was 26 years old, I quit my job to become a full-time ghostwriter.
The very first thing I did was hop a flight to Atlanta to visit one of my closest friends. I told him about how I was ghostwriting for founders and executives making great money — and how I saw an opportunity to teach other people how to do the exact same thing.
