MONEY MYTH #7: YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD TO MAKE MONEY

Anytime you’re swapping hours for dollars, you’re not making easy money. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, how much you enjoy it, or how much you’re getting paid to do it.

Even if you’re getting paid one thousand dollars an hour to be an ice cream tester at Ben & Jerry’s, it’s not MY definition of easy money.
Although if they pay me, I might agree to do it for a day. Easy money comes when you’re leveraging other people’s time, knowledge, and energy so you make money while you sleep. Easy money comes when you’re using your intelligence, not doing manual labor to make money. .

Easy money comes when your physical presence and your direct involvement aren’t required to make the money
