Episode 133: The Truth about Passive Income

May 20, 2020

You’ve heard all about passive income and it’s recent popularity in our industry, but have you considered the work it takes to prepare for passive income?

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the truth behind how “passive” this passive income really is. As someone with experience in creating products that provide passive income, I can attest to the hard work put into them.

I’m sharing what you should know about passive income, what to review when it comes to your product type, how to take your intentions into consideration, and how to prepare for the work you’ll put into it.

Chase after your dream in a way that empowers you to hit those big goals.

The Work Behind Passive Income

Passive income isn’t an easy way to make a quick buck. It takes time, energy, strategy, and so much more to successfully launch a service or product that will provide you with passive income.

I’ve successfully launched a few products that led to passive revenue, but trust me when I say it wasn’t easy. There are always going to be mistakes along the way—you can take those as lessons—but it’s important to be thoughtful in your pursuits in business.

Ask Yourself Why

Why are you going to pursuing passive income? Are you focused only on the money and not the purpose of the product? We can get lost in trying to create passive income because it’s trendy, but how are you serving your customers or students? Be honest with your intentions and create from the heart.

Learn From the Pros

As an entrepreneur, there are so many things we can learn from others in our industry, online resources, and more! Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from others, not only how to get started, but also what not to do. Do yourself a favor and find success by learning from others:

1. Invest in a course

2. Join a mastermind

3. Hire a coach or mentor

My name is Bonnie – I’m a brand designer, strategist, and writer which all adds up to one eclectic conglomeration of qualities that enables me to serve you well! Past clients have dubbed me "the Joanna Gaines of brand design," and I've had more than a few call me a dream maker, a game changer, and a design wizard (my Harry Potter-loving heart didn't hate that one, let me tell you!). At the end of the day, I'm a big-hearted creative who will get teary-eyed as you share the heart behind your business; who will lose sleep over the perfect font pairings and color selections to bring your brand to life visually; and who will work tirelessly to empower, encourage, and equip you to share your work with the world intentionally.
