Zen Garden > Passive Income - Why You Are a Mug If You Are Not Engaging In It

Passive income. What is it? Passive income is the money that flows to you day and night WITHOUT you physically having to do anything to earn it. In my opinion it is the BEST income you can possibly have.

Imagine that. You go to bed and you wake up richer. What a great deal! In fact it's such a GREAT deal that I cannot understand why everybody isn't taking advantage of it. I can only surmise that there are a lot of people that simply don't know about it or think they cannot participate. Heck, I even taught my children how to do it. It's not that hard.

Maybe there are people who are too skeptical or they think it has pitfalls. I pity those people. They simply don't know what they are missing out on. Really, they are mugs. You have to be a mug if you deny yourself the opportunity of a lifetime. Maybe those folks just love getting up every morning to go to work to pay the bills. They must.

Passive income can come in many forms:

• royalties
• franchise fees
• commissions
• capital growth - shares and property
• investments

If you are one of those people who don't think that they can take advantage of some of these things then you are wrong. There are always ways. Maybe you just need to change your mindset and start thinking of possibilities rather than impossibilities. Stop feeling like a victim and start thinking the way that winners do. It all starts in your mind.
