The 7 secret keys to wealth - Key #3: Passive Income.

This article is one out of seven that I wrote about wealth. The whole series contain a lot of free valuable information about key factors that can help you become wealthy. The rich do things in a different way. That difference is the one I want to explain here. Let's scrutinize together these strategies that can make you more money and help you boost your income.

The whole series contain the following articles . . .

1. Add Value.

2. The Multiple Streams of Income.

3. Passive Income.

4. Residual Profits.

5. Leverage.

6. Specialization.

7. Compound Interest.

You receive passive income when you are able to set up a business on autopilot, receive royalties from your art or creativity or make consistent profits from your investments. There are different ways to receive passive income. Some of them are more effective than others. I will show you a few examples here.

First let's explain how important it is to have passive income. Most people work too much on their jobs. They exchange their time for money. If they stop working, they stop earning. On the other hand, with passive income you can be making money while you sleep, relax or work on something else.

The ultimate strategy would be to set up a stream of passive income first. Then when that one is generating profits for you and you have some free time for other ventures, you go on and set up other and other and other. That way your passive income sources will increase exponentially.

You will soon realize how this can bring you financial freedom. When you follow this strategy it comes the time when you have two options. Number one you can work as much as everybody else does and become rich! Number two you work much less than the average person and you still have above average income!

Let me explain my point of view. If you work 3 - 5 hours per day but make more money from your business in annual income than the highest paid professions in the world, then you are working less than the average person and making more. So, you are financially free!

For example a doctor makes on average $250,000 annually from their profession more or less and they work several hours per day. If you can make more than that working only 4 hours per day, then you are making more than other people and working less. That's the idea. That's what I try to mean.

Further more, if some of your streams of income are completely passive, then you may stop working at all and don't do anything, and still you will break even. You may be able to pay for your monthly obligations and still get money to have fun, travel, etc.

The reason you work a few hours per day is because some of the sources of passive income you have require maintenance. You will make money even if you are not constantly monitoring them, but to ensure that everything is ok you still need to check from time to time that everything is running smoothly.

As you can see, earning passive income is one of the best things that could happen to you and your business. This is an effective technique that successful business people use. There are many others that I share in other articles of this series.
