How to Generate Passive Income


passive income







What about business? Is it a kind of active income or passive? Actually, it is the combination of both. A businessman actively controls his cash flows to sustain his daily needs and at the same time spare some bigger portion for his business as a separate entity. However, businesses are complex nowadays depending on their size. Large corporations are mostly owned by a number of people called stockholders. They hire managers and even CEO’s to actively control their operations. Sometimes, they intervene in a macro level. But their control and effort are limited compared to the significant income they get every year if their companies continuously grow.

For these people, these large companies are their source of passive income. For small businessmen, they must exert all their effort for their business. They have trouble making their businesses grow because they also depend on the active income they generate from operating their businesses. Would this mean that in order to generate passive income, we should have had large capital to invest? Not necessarily! We can do so by investing in shares of stocks even in smaller amount of money. This is also true with mutual funds that pool individual investments in small amount to make it one big investment. This means that we generate passive income like big investors.

In a nutshell, we need to learn how to generate passive income while maintaining our active income so as not to compromise the balance between these two types of benefits. How to generate passive income is to keep our active income.
