There is nothing passive about passive income

Passive income my ass! Sure the orders for the rate-setting toolkit pop up in my email. Hurray! But man-oh-man, it is a lot of work. And money. Let’s see. I paid a lot just to edit the original workbook. My husband created the cover. Now that it is selling, I’m sinking money into a professional cover. A set of ISBN numbers costs a couple hundred. The CD’s were professionally recorded and edited. (I think I’ve found a cheaper way for the future.) The marketing consultant costs money. The postage, the web development for www.ratesettingtoolit.com. And my assistant is a virtual assistant, so last week I was schlepping packages to the post office. How is it that I have this awesome assistant and I’m standing in line at the post office?

Well, at least I got this intellectual product thing started. Yeah for me! I will improve it and expand it. But at least I’m started. I give myself a lot of credit for that. What about you? What great ideas do you have that you are sitting on? Are you waiting until you have it all figured out? You’ll be waiting a long time…
