Why I Love Passive Income!
I got back from vacation about a half hour ago. After getting a quick bite to eat (it’s nice to have a home cooked meal!) and talking to my parents about the trip, I just came up to check how much money I’ve made.
I just figured out that I made roughly $135 - WHILE I WAS ON VACATION!
I didn’t touch a computer once for over a week, nor did I use any other type of technology to get Internet access. This happened all on 100% complete autopilot. That, my friends, is the power of passive income.
I actually did better this week than I did each of the first 3 weeks of the month - go figure.
Anyway, a little about my vacation.
#1 - I was a little perplexed at how people have coined the phrase “southern hospitality”. Maybe it was just a coincidence and for some reason the people in Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas are an exception, but I met some very rude and disrespectful people while I was down there. It was mostly employees though, so maybe that had something to do with it. I still love the South 
#2 - Although I was on vacation, I didn’t use that as an excuse to do absolutely nothing with my body for an entire week. Although I’ll admit I ate quite badly for how I usually eat, I did a few things to counteract that.
1 - Instead of walking up the 3 flights of steps of our condo, I would hop up them on 1 leg.
2 - Me and my girlfriend went for some long walks on the beach.
3 - A few times during the week I did a set of elevated plyometric push-ups and some V-ups.
All in all it was an amazing trip. I spent a bit more than I should have, but I still came back with $101 so it wasn’t too bad. I read some great books, spent some quality time with my girlfriend, and got a much needed break. Tomorrow it’s back to work.
Now excuse me while I go read my 250+ e-mails that are waiting for me. I think I’m going to need a mighty big cup of tea.
PS - For the past 2 weeks or so I’ve been meaning to put the book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” on my wish list on amazon. When I got back from vacation I had an e-mail from Brian at Genius Types who’s giving it away for free. Maybe the law of attraction will have an intervening hand in this one.

I’m sure everyone would want that kind of life, wherein you get paid even if you are not doing anything. However, people without the luck have to work hard for it and even sacrifice..
