A Must Read For Every Serious Income Earner


Recently, I was revising the notes I took from a business training I attended sometime ago, so I decided to share with you an incredible business insight that will change your perspective.

Between earning linear income and passive income, which is better?
Well, to make sense of the question, let's attempt a distinction between linear and passive income. If you're being paid once per month for the work or services that you have provided, chances are you're earning a linear income.

Linear income is also called active income, where you earn one unit of income for one unit of your effort. To earn a linear income you also need to be present at your supposed workplace.
Hence, doctors, lawyers, hawkers, or practically every employed or self-employed person are earning linear income. If they don't attend to their clients, they don't get paid.

What about passive income?
It is an income that you continue earning even when you're not working.
Sounds unbelievable?

Believe it, as thousands or probably millions of people have made it. Passive income, also known as residual income, is a stream of income which you can earn many times, with your one unit of effort.

Let's briefly explore some examples of sources of passive income:

1. ROYALTY INCOME. Do you know that singers and song writers are paid royalties every time their songs are played on the radio/TV, regardless of how long ago they made it? This is a form of royalty income and the best part is, it continues for the rest of their lives. Of course this also includes those MLM home-based businesses.

2. DIVIDENDS. This can come from stock investments, where listed companies share their income with share holders in the form of cash or stock dividends. Dividends also come from mutual funds.

3. REAL ESTATES. Your real estates can be rented out to earn a good amount of passive income!

4. INTEREST INCOME. Interests from savings / fixed deposits.

5. WEBSITES. With increasing availability of internet, websites have become an effective place to sell your products and services to the growing population of internet users and earn big bucks!

People actually get rich by simply having multiple streams of passive income!
So, would you rather earn linear income or passive income?

Have an amazing day!

Focus On The First Step

If you ask me if success in life is easy to come by, I'll simply tell you the obvious: NO! But if you focus on the first step of whatever you want to achieve, the most difficult part would have been taken care of. Here is an interesting story to buttress my point. One day, I was at a camp meeting and I met this aspiring writer. I asked him how his book was coming along. "I didn't really getting started… I'm not sure my stuff will be good enough…" He was so insecure about his writing that he didn't even START writing anything. It's hard to become good at something you don't practice. I just explained to him that what really matters is taking the first step. The first step is really all that matters. If you can be the man or woman who always takes the first step, you become a force of nature. That's a really counter-intuitive secret to success. Every success I've had in my life was created because I took this first step. ...

Water Your Dreams

There’s an old saying by Lao Tzu that says: "Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear, and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions, and you will cultivate success." We all have dreams, and it's a good thing. The spirit needs to believe in something higher and bigger. The most important thing in life is to work a little bit every day on your dream. It doesn't matter if it's 15 minutes or 2 hours. Every day, we must make progress on our dream. Every day, we need to water our dreams for them to grow. You'll be amazed at how far your dreams can take you when you do something small in their direction on a daily basis. Every day, invest at least 15 minutes and make progress on a dream you have. Even if it's crazy. It could be reading a book, sending an email, doing a Google search, making a phone call, writing the first line of the book you dream to write. Any...

The Power Of Clarity

Today, I want to use a popular place in the world to illustrate the power of clarity. Even if you've not been there, you'd probably be aware that the average fat cat in Nigeria is obsessed about travelling to Dubai, either for business or vacation. 40 years ago, Dubai had no roads, no real economy, and was at the bridge of collapsing. It was through the incredible leadership of its leader that Dubai became a global success. While most countries in the west are experiencing slow growth and political turmoil, Dubai is experiencing growth, prosperity, and global influence. One major key to the success of Dubai is 'the power of clarity'. Everybody in Dubai was and is focused on creating economic prosperity for the country. They’re not trying to do 100 things at the same time. Their prime chief objective is the prosperity of their country, or to say it bluntly: selling and marketing Dubai as a world hub and top destination. Their leaders are not was...
