Top 5 Passive Income Businesses

1. Internet Sales
2. Network Marketing
3. Real Estate
4. Franchisor
5. Storage Facilities

These are so important as we prepare for the future. In retirement, the biggest objective is to have passive income. If you want to have passive income in retirement to pay bills or enjoy life, you need to either save up the money and put it in the bank for monthly withdrawals, or invest in a business that makes money whether you work or not, or invest it in a cash flow generating asset such as real estate. Real Estate and Business Ownership are the vehicles of choice for 75% of the Wealthy. $3,000 a Month for 20 years in retirement will require you have liquid access to just over a million dollars. Are you on track?

So many of us are out there suffering from the changes in the economy. What we need to realize is that there is huge abundance out there to create the success that we deserve. We can either see the situation as a problem or an opportunity. Just like a chameleon, we need to be able to adapt and change to produce new results. We are all capable, just so many of us get trapped into thinking in scarcity because for many of us, all we know is what we have been taught... go to school, get good grades, and get a J.O.B. The old idea of creating great employees helped staff the corporate empires in the industrial age, but now, we have to come up with new ideas to bootstrap, rebuild and... create our own economy!

I love small business. The ability to create financial independence from the comfort of my home is very appealing to me. There is nothing more powerful than free enterprise. Businesses always require either time or money to start, and often require capital or ongoing cash influxes to cover expenses. Many of us know most businesses fail within the first two years, so it is best to have money set aside or perhaps a part time job to get through the pre-momentum stage. It all starts with a good idea, some good planning, and a burning desire to succeed. A good business plan can usually capture investment capital if needed, and most businesses can be started with little money. Remember your lemonade stand? The last time I bought a glass of lemonade at the community festival, it was $4.00! Super salesmen get paid more than Doctors and Lawyers... a great skill that can easily be honed and developed by anyone, yes, even you.
