I hate the term "passive income," but it’s become a buzzword in recent years. Everyone wants to know how to get passive income so you can spend your days sipping piña coladas on the beach rather than toiling away in an office. Passive income isn’t really passive, though. It takes a lot of work to develop passive income streams, enough that I don’t even like to call it passive; I prefer to use the term asynchronous income. And while it may take a ton of work up front, asynchronous income can truly be a game changer for creative entrepreneurs. Asynchronous income allows you to finally break the connection between your income and your time. We’re going to dig into how to make asynchronous income work for you.
In this episode, you will learn
- What asynchronous income is (and what it is not!).
- Why asynchronous income matters for your creative business.
- How to structure your creative business to include asynchronous income.
- How to determine what asynchronous income streams are right for you and your creative business.
