My 20-Year Trading Journey & Building Passive Income
What Passive Income Really Means: It’s not about money magically dropping into your bank account. Instead, it’s about uncoupling your income from your daily working hours. Picture writing a book or developing a piece of software once and continuing to earn from it long after it’s completed.
The J-Curve Reality: Passive income often involves active effort at the start. Think of it as a “J” shape: you invest time and money upfront, remain in the negative for a while, and eventually climb to profitable returns.
A Smarter Approach: Dive in where you already have knowledge. Test quickly, fail quickly, and refine. Lay down processes early for seamless growth.
Conclusion: Passive income isn’t a shortcut; it’s about working intelligently now so that later, you can enjoy more freedom. If you’re ready to invest in yourself—by building, automating, and refining—there’s no better time to start than right now.
Let’s start with this fundamental truth: you are always in someone else’s trend, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself otherwise. The markets are vast and interconnected, and while you might catch a wave or two, the reality is that you’re always navigating a trend that someone else initiated or influenced. Recognizing this can free you from chasing illusions of total control and help you focus on what truly matters: adapting to the reality in front of you.
