The idea of earning passive income seems like it's everywhere lately, whether it's real estate,

digital products, investing, AI side hustles, you name it.

And I saw a reel the other day and it made me laugh out loud because it perfectly called

out the problem that it feels like some influencers are pushing.

It's like this trend out there.

So we're going to watch that clip and then I'll break down what no one is really telling

you about passive income.

So before we dive in, make sure to like, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend.

Okay, here's the clip that I saw.

I was just served a reel of a woman who makes $5 million a year selling a course to other women that teaches them how to sell the course.

But don't worry, you don't need your own course.

You just use her course.

Sorry, what?

Course about what?

Oh, a course about how to sell the course.

Okay, figuring out more and more.

Nothing is real. What are you talking about a course that teaches you how to sell the course?

And by the way, she apparently has nine other revenue streams because when someone buys the course and then goes to sell the course about how to sell the course, they then also probably need these other platforms

that she has affiliate links to. Like, sorry, what? Now listen, I'm not saying all courses

are evil or bad, but also I'm like, oh my gosh, there is so much out there y'all, because social

media makes things look instant and easy and beautiful and profitable and all this stuff. And it's like, buy my course here and learn how I got 80,000 Airbnbs and I make $4 billion a month. You know, and it's like, buy my course, buy my course. You're like, what? It's basically like the MLM of today. You know what I mean? It's crazy. But here's the deal. Passive income is not really passive. It takes so much work,

and it's not usually like, oh, I lucked upon this one course that's going to like change my whole life.
