Passive income sounds so nice. You make a pile of money while sitting on a beach somewhere. But does it really work like that? Not really. In fact, we don’t like the term ‘passive income’ and much prefer terms like ‘passionate income’ or even ‘active income.’ But why?

This episode is all about the goal we all have, which is financial and time freedom. Even if that means sitting on a beach somewhere, how do you get there? It’s like any “overnight success.” It takes time and effort. It starts with identifying your passion and discovering ways to create residual income and cash flow from that passion.

Because the truth is, passive income isn’t truly passive if you do it right. It’s passionate income. It is a lifestyle, it is a movement. It’s aligning your God-given gifts with a path to that time and financial freedom. That’s the path we love helping our clients with, and it’s what we want for you.

“We want to coin a different term other than passive income. We are all about helping people find cash flow from their passion. So how about, “passionate income?” – Phillip Ramsey Share on X “What we think of as passive income almost always comes from years of active hard work to create streams of revenue that eventually take little effort from you personally.” – Bryan Dewhurst Share on X “If you ask us where our money is going, it’s going into our business, and that’s as it should be. That’s what we are passionate about and where our focus is.” – Phillip Ramsey Share on X “Everyone looking for time freedom is really looking for control. We're talking about it in many different ways, but at the end of the day, you want financial freedom to control your time.” – Bryan Dewhurst Share on X “Numbers tell a story about why you're investing in what you're investing in. So I encourage you to look at each of your accounts and ask what story it is crafting for you.” – Phillip Ramsey Share on X “It does take a strong mindset, strong conviction, and belief to keep persisting on this path of residual or passive income.” – Bryan Dewhurst Share on X “Retirement at any age is all about cash flow.” – Phillip Ramsey Share on X “The more complex the side hustle, and the more incongruent those are from what your gifting is or what you're passionate about, the more likely you are to quit or to lose money.” – Bryan Dewhurst Share on X
