Why You Should Learn Creativity and Design
Starting a business is always on the top of my mind, mainly because starting an automated business is one of our keys to success during retirement.

The Passive Income Grind
The more I write about passive income, the more I realize society does not build people to receive it. Why is that? Before the payments become passive, you need to do a lot of work to get everything set up—I call this The Passive Income Grind. I never thought about the grind until I got…

To Be Truly Free, You’ll Need $20,000/Month Passive Income
That’s right, $20,000/month in passive income will be enough to set you and your family free from the tyranny of the workforce. Keep in mind; this is living a down-to-Earth, “below your means” lifestyle. If you want the full “American Dream,” you will need much, much more. Why did I decide to put a number…

The Magic of an Automated Business
I’ll be the first to admit that I usually leave an automated business out of most of my passive income discussions.

Start a Community Garden and U-Pick-It Farm
For the last six months, I have been saying it; the world is ripe for a return to Earth. We have gotten too far away from our roots (no pun intended), and returning to the ground is the only way to reset our core (and life) values. Josh, what the heck does that mean? It…
