Zen Garden > Passive Income - Why You Are Missing Out If You Are Not Taking Advantage Of It

Passive income, by its very name is the opposite of active income. Active income is the money that you physically toil for.

Passive income is the money that you wake up to every morning. It's the greatest income of all time. In fact it's so GREAT that I really can't understand why everybody isn't taking advantage of it. This leads me to believe that there are a lot of people who simply don't know about it or think that it is impossible for them to get involved. Believe me - it's not that hard!

Perhaps those who do not take advantage of passive income techniques are just skeptical. Maybe they think it has pitfalls or, for some reason, it is not for them. The reality is - they simply don't realize the power of passive income and don't know what they are missing out on. You really have to be operating on false assumptions if you are prepared to deny yourself such a fantastic wealth producing opportunity. Passive income is so much easier than active income.

Examples of passive income are as follows:

• capital growth from shares or property or precious metals or pieces of memorabilia or art
• franchise fees from master franchise or license arrangements
• commissions such as affiliate commissions
• investments in various commodities
• royalties from some copyright or trade mark that you own

It's sad that more people are not taking advantage of passive income techniques. It all starts with changing your mindset. Thinking of possibilities, not impossibilities.

You are seriously missing out on a fantastic wealth building opportunity if you are not taking advantage of passive income techniques. Do yourself a favor - investigate it. Find out how you can get involved.
