EP204 | Let's Talk Passive Revenue


Listen Later

Fresh off a trip to Chicago. Amazing city in the summer, and the 4th of July fireworks from a rooftop deck were unforgettable. It got me thinking about this whole "passive income" thing that gets thrown around so much, especially with younger PTs and students. Let us be real, the "laptop lifestyle" gurus are selling a dream that is mostly bullshit. I get emails weekly from students asking how to generate passive revenue. Here is the truth: there is no magic bullet. True passive income takes a ton of active work upfront.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Active Income Builds Passive Income: You need to put in the work first. Take your active income and invest it into things that historically generate passive revenue like real estate or dividend stocks.
  • "Laptop Lifestyle" is Still Active Work: Building a digital business, an ebook, or online courses takes immense effort, expertise, and time. It is not just set it and forget it, especially early on.
  • Beware of "Passive Income" Scams: Slick marketers sell the idea of easy money without work. The only people getting rich are the ones selling those dreams, not the ones buying them. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

🧠 Pro Tip:

  • Focus on "less active revenue" rather than pure "passive revenue." Build systems and leverage technology so you are not trading every hour for a dollar, but understand that meaningful work and consistent effort are always required. Do not be lazy; find work you love and build from there.
