This Is How You Can Start Making Passive Income
This is the only guide you need :)
Everything good in life comes from compounding.
Be it money, habits, relationship, success- anything you think is important.
For most of us, different phases in our life are more than a final destination.
Doing same thing again and again can be boring.
You know how resolutions often go: you set a goal and start strong… then the motivation runs out and feelings of frustration and shame creep in.
The struggle is real — but what if it doesn’t have to be?
Here are a few things that you can do to build your side hustle from ground up.
1. Don’t hate your job
Many folks hate their full-time job and starting a side hustle is a way to get out.
I get it.
But this hate is not going to lead you anywhere.
Working on 9–5 gives you stability, a sustainable routine, and to learn a few good habits from your full-time job.
Keeping your 9–5 means you don’t need to worry about your bills, rent, or working through a deadline.
For a long time, I thought, I am letting myself down while settling into ruts and routine.
I wasn’t doing the things I thought I would be, and that I wasn’t becoming the person I wanted to be.
I spent weekends dreaming up how I would escape, but each time, my plan failed.
Today, I realize that it was procrastination.
I was rushing to make things work.
Find a job you enjoy, that works for you. Not for status, not fnac title, not for anything other than it aligns with your skillset, it gives you the time you need to create on the side and it works for you.
2. Treat your side hustle as a business
Consistency and showing up are your superpowers here.
There are times when I didn’t show up as much as I could have.
Instead of doing any of the things I said I would, I sat in front of the screen, wasting my life.
I was not playing the long game instead was looking for short-cuts.
And you know, there is no short cut to success.
In the beginning, business isn’t about making money.
It’s about making a habit- a consistent one.
Putting up the reps. That’s when you will start seeing the results.
Make that shift and things will start to change.
3. The million dollar feeling
I exactly remember the first time I made one dollar on the internet from my writing.
It felt like a dream. It was one of the best feelings in the world.
It will make you feel like a million dollar.
Because I enjoyed the process of creating.
It makes me responsible to write stuff that can help you in some way to make you extra happier and healthier.
4. Follow your curiosity
Whenever you’re told to “follow your passion,” it can be very intimidating and confusing because sometimes passion isn’t very clear.
Sometimes passions burn hot and then burn out.
Sometimes your passion changes as you grow in life.
Sometimes on a very sad Tuesday morning when you didn’t sleep well, the idea of passion just feels so out of reach that you can’t even imagine ever accessing it.
Lastly,
It’s all comes down to mindset, curiosity, and consistency.
If you can master those things in that order, you’ll be set.
Keep an open and free mind to observe more and process the things that mean something to you.
Set some free time and unleash yourself from the round-the-clock productive cycle.
Find time to relax and give your brain a break.
It took me 365 days to start enjoying writing and what I get to learn at the end of the day.
I think we all are creative in some way or another.
Leaving a lasting legacy in this world is one of our greatest achievements possible.
A part of that is simply writing down who we are, where we’ve been, what we’ve done, or what we experience.
Think about it.
