Zen Garden > Passive Income - What Is It and Why Should You Be Moving Heaven and Earth To Take Advantage Of It

Passive income. What is it? Basically, PASSIVE INCOME is money that comes to you day in and day out WITHOUT you physically expending any effort to earn it. Now, is that a GOOD type of income, or not?

Passive income keeps flowing to you whether you do anything for it or not. Even better, passive income is usually tied in some way to inflation so, by association, it usually keeps growing in size.

Every day you just get richer up richer. What a great result! I sometimes refer to it as wealth by stealth. For the life of me I cannot understand why everybody isn't jumping on the passive income bandwagon. I can only think that there are a lot of people who just don't know about it or think that it is too complicated for them to understand. In reality, it's quite simple to understand once you know the basics.

There are many examples of passive income. Some of them are:

• franchise fees
• commissions
• investments
• royalties
• capital growth such as shares and property trusts

Maybe there are people who think that it has a downside or it is in some way fraught with danger. In my opinion that is just nonsense. These people simply don't know what they are missing out on. Why would ANYBODY want to miss out on something for nothing. Essentially, that is what passive income is - money for nothing.

If you are one of those people who, for whatever reason, think that passive income is dangerous or too complicated or whatever then, excuse me but... you are wrong. There are always ways to get involved in passive income techniques. Maybe you should do some more research or start changing your mindset. Perhaps you should think of possibilities rather than impossibilities. Only victims deny themselves the opportunity of passive income.

Start thinking like a winner. It all starts in your mind. Change your perception, educate yourself on the ways and methods of passive income and try it. When the money starts to flow, I GUARANTEE you will like it!
