Building Real Wealth with Passive Income
At the end of the day, our ultimate goal is to build real wealth through passive income. This industry offers the potential for ongoing revenue that allows you to enjoy more leisure time and less hands-on work over time. Building these “snowballs” of passive income puts you on the path to financial independence, allowing you to work only if you choose to, not because you have to.
