The Problem with Passive Income

The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast

#838 Passive income is a myth. That might sound weird coming from the "passive income guy," but many people misunderstand the path to success and financial freedom. This is what's stopping them from building a thriving business! I just stumbled upon a mind-blowing example of this on X. Paddy Galloway, a YouTube expert, shared a DM from a teenage fan who was ready to shut down his channel after investing months and thousands of dollars in online courses and hiring editors. Listen to today's session for my reaction to this exchange because it perfectly illustrates why people struggle with building an audience! When the kid fessed up to not even being passionate about making videos and just being in it for the money, I lost it! This episode is a reality check for anyone chasing passive income without a genuine desire to help others. Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session838.
