I wrote this article to help you lead a fulfilled life doing what you love to do and not what your boss or job demands of you. It is your destiny to take your life into your hands and hope this helps. 

What is Passive Income

Passive Income is the art of making money with little or no effort from your end. The simplest example is your Bank Deposit where your Savings will give Interest every year. You do not have to work to earn the Interest. I will be focusing on helping you convert your skills to recurring income with a  few skills, technologies, and strategies. You need not work 9-5 or overtime to make money. Nor do you have to do a job that you hate.

Why Passive Income

Passive Income is very important for your security, freedom. As long as we have to pay in the supermarket to get needs, you need to have some regular cash flow for your expenses. Jobs are not secure, interviews are not in your favor and Employers have too much power that is misused leading to many harassments on employees. Passive Income gives you options to escape the insecurities, pains, uncertainties in a job system.

What do you think is better? A chair with 4 legs or a chair with single legs?

If a table with a single leg has one source of a leg gone, it falls. If a table with multiple legs has a problem with one leg, it can still stand. Passive Income gives you the freedom to work on multiple sources of income. At least 5 sources of Passive Income are recommended.
