I didn't let the lemons that life handed me slow me down; I created passive income lemonade. Yes, I started working when I was 16 years old (1996/1997) at McDonald's. I grinded up in the Marine Corps for over 20 years.
But all this hard work did not make me rich; reading, learning, and creating passive income made me rich. You see, the rich do not work for money. They do not exchange time for money.
To become wealthy, you need to separate yourself from the act of making money. For example, if you have an online store, it is open 24 hours a day. It can make money for you while you sleep.
What if you started writing books. They would be available on Amazon for anybody to buy and read at any time. Wouldn't it be amazing to wake up to have fresh money that you earned from book sales?
Dividends and rental income are the same. These are all forms of passive income. Once you separate yourself from the act of making money, you will be surprised how much money is possible to be made.
So don't cry over your lemons. Sit back, read, and learn how to make passive income lemonade. It tastes delicious!
