The Art of Passive Income

Tips on Giving Up Your 9-to-5 to Start a Passion Project


Listen Later

Stephen Somers is a mentor, serial entrepreneur, and co-founder of Marketplace SuperHeroes. He started his entrepreneurship journey selling on Amazon about 7 years ago before meeting his mentor and business partner, Robert Rickey. Together they have generated multiple 7 figures in revenue through a strategic mind-set and consistency in executing their plan of action.

 Stephen enjoys a stunning level of success today, after pushing through many failed attempts at starting his entrepreneurship venture. His capabilities and potential were the directives that guided him after resigning from the corporate 9-to-5 world, and the fuel behind his bold move to live intentionally and start a passion project which blossomed into a 7-figure revenue-generating machine.  

As a person who has experienced good times and bad in his new business, Stephen understands the fear that holds many people back from realizing their true potential and living life on their own terms. As such, he spends his downtime guiding his mentees through a detailed two-phase process to find, brand, import, and sell their very own brand of low-competition, high-profit physical products globally on Amazon.

Listen in as they discuss:

  • Stephen’s journey into real estate and how he became a serial entrepreneur.
  • The importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone.
  • The benefits of doing accurate market research before starting your business.
  • Sifting through all the advice, tips, and hacks available for a specific industry to see which ones are more applicable to you.
  • The impact of practicing effective financial management at every phase of your business.
  • How to be patient with your business growth, but not complacent.
  • Setting realistic goals and doing a frequent evaluation.
  • Partnering with like-minded people who have the skills and resources to help your business grow.
  • The art of re-investing in your business.
  • Creating passive income that doesn’t turn out to be another job.
  • The importance of ensuring your business is something you are passionate about.

Become a producer, not a consumer. Everyone is consuming. ~Stephen Somers
