Ever daydream about Stripe notifications rolling in while you sip a latte and never touch another funnel? 🚀

Here's the truth no one wants to say out loud: passive income is never actually passive. There's still a funnel to watch, numbers to track, messaging to fix, and platforms that keep shifting the goal posts on you.

In this episode of The Good Advice Trap series, I'm pulling back the curtain on why evergreen funnels aren't the magical freedom pill we've been sold, why every online course business needs recurring revenue (and why that's NOT the same thing as passive income), and the reframe that will change how you think about freedom in your business for good.

If you've been chasing passive income because you're exhausted and craving more time with your family, this one's the real talk you need.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Why "one funnel is not a business" — and what to build instead

• The real difference between passive income, evergreen, and recurring revenue

• Why Pat Flynn is quietly dropping "passive" from his brand

• The reframe that turns your passive income fantasy into a real, sustainable plan
