If you're thinking of going down the path of passive income to create "easy money, fast", then I urge you to listen to this podcast episode first! There's no denying that there's much content out there online promising "60K in 6 Weeks", giving you hope that it's possible for you too - but in my opinion, this is unrealistic and a pretty sleazy marketing tactic that is doing more harm than good.

For the longest time, I used to believe that "sitting on the fence" was a bad thing and that if I wanted to be seen in the online business space then I would need to vocalise big beliefs and opinions.
