AI is the ultimate tool for creating leverage to assist you on your journey to creating passive, side hustle income.
<aside> 📎 Remember, completely passive income is a place you work up to over time by creating systems and structure around your business in order to leverage your time already invested to turn an “active” business into a “passive” business. For example, if you plan to sell an online course and resources teaching people a second language, at first that business will be extremely active, both building your audience and building and creating your product. Over time, you will work to create leverage so that you have built the product and now all you need to do is market it. Eventually, you will develop a system where you have a sophisticated marketing funnel and with very little input, you can generate significant, predominately passive income.
