MM 200 - The Lie About Passive Income Everyone Believes
In today's Maggie's Moment, Maggie smashes the myth of "passive income" and reveals why most entrepreneurs waste years chasing it. Learn the 3 hard truths about building real scalable income—without the guru hype.
Passive income isn’t real. Here’s why:
- Truth #1: Passive = Pre-Loaded Hustle (the hidden work no one talks about).
- Truth #2: Focus on leverage, not laziness (scalable vs. "set-and-forget").
- Truth #3: Your time is your best asset (skills > systems).
💡 Key Takeaways:
✅ There’s no such thing as 100% passive income—only pre-loaded effort.
✅ Scalable income (e.g., group programs, productized services) beats "passive" dreams.
✅ Invest in skills that compound (marketing, sales) over buying shortcuts.
