The Truth About Passive Income

I struggled with a finding a good topic for today.  I find that people looking to make income online, or folks that want to be self employed; are in fact looking for a way to generate passive income.  Not everyone, but, the majority.  Well, is there such a thing as passive income?  If there is, is it permanent income?

Let's discuss "permanent" income.  There is no such thing!  Even if you hit on the perfect idea and you get it off the ground and you are sitting on a beach in Tahiti reading this, the income is going to stop without at least some maintenance work.  So, there it is, maintenance work.  Most people that make it online and find that "passive" income have found something they can be passionate about and causes them to use there imagination.  Once that becomes maintenance work, the creativity dies and so does the passion.  Now the income stream is in jeopardy.

Before all that, what was your motivation to earn the passive income.  Was it for a noble cause or just for the money?  Money is the worst motivator in the world.  Yes, that's right, the WORST motivator in the world.  As human beings we need stimulation.  So what ever you chose to make your business it has to make you want to do it day in and day out.

Okay, I am about to start rambling so I will stop.  This is why I usually post other peoples articles.  I get off topic or into a rant way to easily.  Below is a video from actualized.org.  Give it a play.  This video is actually full of good advice and cautions.  It is not going to give a system or ideas or tell you how you can be successful.  It simply is 25 minutes of discussion in the reality of passive income.  If you listen with an open mind, you will find a lot of good advice and maybe avoid some disappointment once you do find the right system or niche.  If you have already found success and the money is rolling in, then this should be even more valuable to you.

Enjoy and the best of luck in your endeavors.
