The 411 On Your Passive Income Opportunity

One good Passive Income Opportunity can have a HUGE effect on your life.  How would your life change if you KNEW you were going to make money without having to do any additional work?  Seriously, think about this for just a minute.  Imagine yourself hanging out on the Golf Course or taking a weeklong trip to the beach and your income still continues to come in.

I’m not talking about taking a week’s paid vacation either.  I’m talking about being able to do this whenever you want and yes, your income still keeps coming in.  This is what we all want right?

Do you have access to a passive income opportunity?

It used to be that in order to have passive income you had to own a business, real estate or some sort of fund that paid you on a regular basis.  Think about Donald Trump.  He has a TON of passive income.  Every single month people have to pay their rent for being in his properties.  Or, think of the person who owns your local McDonalds.  This person too has passive income coming in every month.  Every time you go buy a Big Mac you have just lined their pockets.

Now, the draw backs of the previous two examples are the amount of Capital required to get started with either of these opportunities.  Even inexpensive real estate ‘aint cheap.  And a McDonalds…be prepared to throw down close to $1 Million!!

Yup, it’s Gonna Cost You $1 Million..

to own the McDonalds.  Did that just take you out of the running for a passive Income Opportunity?  NO WAY!! It’s easier now than ever for you to get involved with an opportunity that will produce MASSIVE amounts of passive income for you.

In fact, some of the MOST PROFITABLE passive income opportunities will cost you no more than $20k and as cheap as $2k.  Can you believe that!?!  A chance for you to plug in to a Passive income opportunity that will pay you whether you go to work or not for less than 5% of the McDonalds.

That’s what I’m talking about!  Get involved, get set up, do the work once and get paid for LIFE!! Some of the most successful people out there, and I’m talking top 1% of the tax bracket, are utilizing a passive income opportunity just like this.  You know what the most exciting part of this is….

This Same Opportunity is Available to YOU!!

Today is the day you stop “thinking about it” and start acting on it.  If you are not living the Life you want and making the amount of money you want, you deserve to be introduced to how great life and business can be.  Life doesn’t have to be a grind and business doesn’t have to run your life.

There is a better way.  All you have to do is decide!  I know you will, and I can’t wait to see you blossom!

What Are Some Residual Income Opportunities?

Residual Income Opportunities will allow you to spend a work day on the golf course and still make more money than most of the people working their 9-5.

Residual Income, by definition is, an income received on a regular basis, with little effort required to maintain it.  I want you to think about tha for a minute.  An income received on a REGULAR basis with LITTLE EFFORT required to maintain it.  Now I don’t know about you, but this is what I go to work for everyday!

Here are a couple examples of typical Residual Income Opportunities:

  • Real Estate:  When most people invest in real estate, they are investing in the Residual Income Opportunity.  A very basic example of this would be a rental property.  You purchase the property, someone else lives in the property and pays all of the expenses and leaves you with a nice little net profit at the end of the month.  Whether you do anything or not, that check comes in EVERY month.  All you had to do was purchase the property.  There is that regualr basis thing with little effort we talked about.
  • Brick & Mortar:  Most people go into business to gain the effects of the Residual Income Opportunities.  Let’s say you own a hot dog stand.  You hire a couple people to run your hot dog stand and every day money is put into your account with out you having to be there.  Now, the trick is to sell enough hot dogs each month to off set the costs involved (rent, power, employees, supplies, etc).  This is another example that could throw off some extra cash for you.
  • Direct Sales: This is by far my favorite example of Residual Income Opportunities.  The very basic premise of Direct Sales is for you to set up a Sales and Marketing system that sifts, sorts, tells and sells FOR YOU!  Your job then becomes to deal with people who are interested in becoming clients and ultimately business partners.  Just like any good sales hiearchy, this allows you to focus your attention on your two biggest Income producers…Marketing/Advertising and replication of your efforts through your team!

The greatest aspect of Direct Sales as a Residual Income Opportunity is that you don’t have to buy any property.  Trust me, sometimes this strategy works great and sometimes there are months when you are stuck paying the bills.  And as far as a Brick & Mortar business, who wants to deal with rent, insurance, utilities, employees, etc.  If you don’t make a ton of sales, you don’t make any money.

You want a business model where you can make HUGE money with little Volume!!

Direct Sales puts you firmly in the driver seat to earn huge upfront commissions as well as walk away to the beach Residual Income Opportunities.  Do yourself a favor and start looking at the opportunities around you.

Everyday people make decisions that keep them locked in a rut or set them free.  What sorts of decisions are you going to make?  Decide today that you are worth more and capable of anything.

3 Irrefutable Laws of a Serious Entrepreneur

79,000,000 people plan to start their own business in the next 3-5 years. (Forbes)  That’s roughly 15.8 million people in the next 5 years.

How many of them are going to make it?  I think a better question is…Of the people who PLAN to take on this most glorious endeavor will actually get out of preparation mode and take massive action to get started?  My hunch is you can immediately cut that number in half.  However, for those that take the plunge into Freedom, I give to you…

The 3 Irrefutable Laws of a Serious Entrepreneur


  • This isn’t a Hobby: Most of the time when I hear someone describe themselves as an entrepreneur I normally cringe.  Usually this is code for, “I have a couple ideas, some things I tinker with and a little affiliate dough on top of my JOB.”  Every Serious Entrepreneur knows that in order to have sustainable success, you have to be all in.  There is a reason roughly 3%-5% of people who go in, come out.  It has very little to do with talent, education or connections.  These things are great resources, but nothing will take the place of Desire.  If you’re Mickey Mousing around with “some ideas” or you “make a little money” here and there, STEP IT UP.  If you can make $10,000 you can make $100,000.  It’s as simple as doing more of what works and less of what is a waste…(that’s award winning advice right there!!)
  • Risk/Reward: Without getting too deep into mindset, there are no risks.  I can hear it now, “But I have bills to pay…I have mouths to feed and so much at stake…If this doesn’t work he/she is going to kill me.”  LOOK, it’s this simple:  Your ONE vision is the vision of your success and the rewards you will get from pressing forward and progressing everyday.  A Serious Entrepreneur is not one to say, “Well, just start me at the smallest amount of commitment available.”  Hell no, quite the contrary…the Serious Entrepreneur looks around for the resources and asks if this is it and how do I get deeper.  ANY business in the world is as good as it’s leader.  If there is one drop of doubt in your water, the whole glass is tainted and NO ONE will touch it.  Do it or don’t…it’s that simple.
  • Empowering Others: How cool will it feel when you make $1 Million?  Seriously, think about it for a minute.  Where will you go?  What will you do?  How do things feel?  Does the coffee taste better?  Now, let’s go one step further…how AMAZING does it feel to know that your efforts as a Serious Entrepreneur have now made multiple other people $1 Million?  This, my friend is the mark of not just a Serious Entrepreneur, but also a world class leader.  You come to find that as your entrepreneurial spirit thrives, your role as a leader and a mentor begin to flourish.  Now, this could go either way…which cam first, the chicken or the egg?  I am a firm believer that nothing happens without gestation.  Get out there and become the person necessary to accept all of the abundance into your life because that same person is also accepting the responsibility.  The only thing left to do at that point is to give back to the community that brought you up.

So there you have it, The 3 Irrefutable Laws of a Serious Entrepreneur.  There is opportunity for you right now!  It’s not hiding from you.  It’s not making itself unavailable to you.  In fact it’s quite the opposite.  Success and Opportunity are waiting for YOU to become available and waiting for YOU to accept abundance.  Today’s the day my friend.  You have options…are you going to capitalize on them?  I hope you do..

Let me know if any of these “Laws” ring true in your life.  I’d love to hear some of your journeys.

Not Every Six Figure Income Is Created Equally

$8,333.33 every month and you’ll have a Six Figure Income.  How does that resonate with you?

Does it make you feel good?  Do you begin to think of all the new toys you would buy?  How about the vacations you would take and the nice dinners you would have?

Well, my first question would be…


What do I have to do to get $8,333.33 every Month?

I am going to tell you a quick story.  In the end, you will get to decide if you would rather EARN a Six Figure Income or CREATE a Six Figure Income.  But first, a little background information…

According to the Census Bureau, median earnings of men who worked full time is $45,113 and for Women was $35,102.  Here’s a little more from the Census Bureau…

Individuals with an MBA are expecting a base salary of $88,626 with a signing bonus of $17,428 ($106,054)

Individuals with Doctorates have an average salary of $81,400

“Professional Degrees” (M.D., D.P.T., J.D., etc) average $109,600 annualy.

The vast majority of the world, especially here in the United States, is on the path to receive one of the above mentioned incomes through one of the above mentioned degrees.  We all know this world needs more attorneys!  And while you are on this journey of the attainment of a Six Figure Income, all you can think about is the money and what you will do with it, or how much more of it you’re going to need.

Let me explain what a typical life of a highly paid EMPLOYEE looks like:

The alarm goes off at 6:30 in the morning but you know you can hit the snooze button at least once without any negative outcome on your day.  You make your way to the bathroom still in a trance and begin to go through your routine.  Within the next 30-45 minutes you’ve made your way to the kitchen to put something in your stomach just because you feel like you should.  Don’t forget the Coffee…how else would you get going?!?

If you’re lucky, you don’t have to commute but let’s face it, most people are in traffic at least twice a day.  Well hey, at least you have this time to get centered and clear about your objectives for the day right…WRONG

Your Blackberry or your Iphone is already blowin’ up with work emails

You haven’t even made it to the office and there are work related problems to deal with.  Any sort of organization of your day is already shot!  By the time you get to the office your assistant is giving you a handful of messages and your boss has scheduled a meeting at the same time you had planned to take lunch.  We aren’t even two hours into the work day and you’re already 4 hours behind!!  This sort of cycle continues and perpetuates leaving you to be a very REACTIVE person instead of an ACTIVE person.  Any hopes of having a life away from work is squashed with the amount of over time you put in simply to catch up to where you are, let alone trying to get ahead.  But you continue because you are trapped by the money and the hopes that you may get a 2% raise!?!  Until one day you take a hard look and say…

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING!?!

For me, the Six Figure Income simply wasn’t worth it.  The last year of my EMPLOYEE status I traveled 108 days of the first 120 days of the year.  I began to feel like this is what my life was going to be like forever.  I can tell you the EXACT moment I had had enough.

I was sitting in the Jacksonville, FL airport just after Midnight waiting for a shuttle.  And then I saw it…it was as if a farmer had opened the gates and all of the Livestock dressed in slacks and loafers pulling their carry on bags and brief cases came down the escalator.  Every one of them just looked tired and beat up.  Let’s not even get in to their physical condition…

These guys were DEFEATED!

That was it.  I vowed right then and right there that I have too much to offer and too much to do.  You see, starting your own business and CREATING a Six Figure Income is much less to do about the technical aspects and far more of letting go and letting the creative process happen.

You know you are capable of more

You know you have it within you to CREATE more for yourself and for your family

You have been conditioned to believe that the sky will fall and your 401k will diminish…oh, wait, that already happened.

I’m here to tell you that you’ll be fine.  In fact you’ll be great!  Do you have any idea how much greater a Six Figure Income is like when you have time and freedom to enjoy it.

I don’t know what it is that drives you but I know it’s not the story I just mentioned.  For me it’s the creation of abundance in ALL aspects of my life.  It’s time for you to go out and get yours!

TODAY is the day you start LIVING YOUR LIFE! Take some sort of action today to free yourself and begin to receive abundance.
