When the day is over, the work you’ve done adds-up. You walk away knowing you’ll reap the reward with some new numbers in the bank at the end of the month.

Every day though, this work resets to zero.

What you will see over a long period of time is linear growth as you get a pay rise or change jobs. Your time is being spent, rather than being invested. You could instead switch lanes and head for the road of exponential growth by spending some of your time working on a simple stream of passive income.

Making this work without any skills or talent is possible but you have to keep going to get off the ground

When the earner doesn’t physically participate, we call it ‘passive income’. We’d all prefer if our main source of income required little to no effort to maintain, but the barrier for entry is widely perceived as very high. Sure, buying a property to rent-out requires a lot of capital to start with, and starting a website needs a lot of up-front time investment. By no means is this article touting a way to ‘get rich quick’, but you can definitely ‘get rich simply’.
