The Truth About Passive Income: It’s Not What You’ve Been Told With Russ Morgan

If you think passive income means sitting back and letting the money roll in, think again! In this episode, we uncover the truth behind passive income and why it’s not as simple as it seems.

Discover how entrepreneurs can build wealth without Wall Street and learn about the Passive Income Roadmap.

Is it getting us more of what we want or less of what we want? It's not an accumulation plan. The person who wins this game doesn't have ten million dollars in an account in the future.

That is financial freedom." ~ Russ Morgan   In This Episode: - The value of hiring a coach - Is your CPA knowledgeable about The Augusta Rule? - Money mistakes and the obstacle to financial freedom - Becoming a good steward of your finances - Active vs. passive income and activating PIOS - Mistakes people commit as they start building passive income  - How the market's sugar rush impacts investors - The framework for building passive income  - Understanding your "investor buy box" for smart decisions -  Investing with the right people vs. just the right deal - Passive income ideas you can try   Resources:  🌐 Consult with Erik - https://form.jotform.com/222685728939070 [https://form.jotform.com/222685728939070] 🌐 Want to buy a franchise?
