You're listening to Making Money Online with Lisa Johnson, the podcast that tells you what it really

takes to build a business and the simple steps to get you there.

I'm determined to share with you the reality of easy, simple business marketing tips

to make passive income so that you can start making money online.

Hello, hello, I'm excited today to talk to you about my favorite subject, which is passive

income and how to earn more money while working less time, because isn't that what we all want?

So let's dive in. Working less and making more money is something that I thought was a myth.

I remember when I was younger, I don't know about you guys. I remember my dad telling me that if I

wanted to earn more money, then I just had to work harder and that the more I worked, the harder

I worked, the more money I would then make.

And I believe this to be true because, you know, I trusted my dad and other people who had said,

you know, you have to work really hard to make money. What I didn't realize is that there was a

different way and that actually you could work smarter rather than harder, which is what I do now. So going back to how this all started for me

and why passive income came into my life, I had started my business, my consulting business this was

and did what everybody told me to do, which was, you know, get clients, get fully booked.

And so I did. I was like, okay, if that's what needs to happen, that's what I'm going to do, you know, I'm going to go out there. I had a good work ethic and I'm going to get one-to-one clients. And so I started a Facebook group and I was going live every day and I was getting these one-to-one clients. And quite quickly, within the first six months, I was making quite a lot of money.

I made £100,000 in the first six months in profit. So that was quite good. And while doing that,

I was working all of the hours that God sends. So there I was thinking, yeah, I'm going to run my own business. And when I run my own business, what I'm going to do is spend loads of time with the kids and I'm going to travel and nobody's going to make me come in and do things that I don't want to do. I'm never going to have a boss again. And that's how I thought it was going to be. And in reality, I gave up my nine to five and was

working from like six in the morning to 11 o'clock at night sometimes on my business. And while I did

enjoy my business, and so it didn't always feel like work, it was still time that I wasn't spending

with my family, wasn't going out with my friends, wasn't doing some of the other things that

I really wanted to do, like travelling. And so I knew that something was going to have to change
