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 this problem is the idea of a passive income. Passive income is the money-making principle that separates your time from your work. Once you set up a stream of passive income, it is on autopilot and you will have the opportunity to make money while working on other interesting projects.
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.
One way to create a passive income is the idea of residual income. This is a monthly income from something that you put time into investing only once. You can establish a residual income by selling unique, electronic products online to a stream of customers. This method is entirely automated by allowing digital delivery and payment.
A way to establish this residual income is through e-books and PayPal. You can even purchase the resell rights to pre-existing e-books and simply buy the rights from there. However, this is not the best and most efficient way to have a passive income. You need to apply leverage to have this automated income perform at its best.
Having a labor supply to establish additional streams of income is applying the idea of leverage. Using leverage, you can make money off of other people's labor, instead of your own. Although you may need to invest the money, and it may not sound like residual income, it is very powerful. You can double or triple your profits by correctly applying leverage.
There is one other way to most effectively apply the idea of a passive income, and this is termed active leveraged income. You will have to put more effort in this approach, but by getting others to work with you, not for you, you can earn even more money. An example of this exists in the Multi-level-marketing world. You can greatly enhance your return and get closer to 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.
