"Passive Income" means different things to different people. Traditionally passive income means dividends from stock or rent from real estate investments. These types of income are popular, though the category is expanding. All passive income goes through this cycle: Set-up, Execute, and Enjoy (over and over). Hedged FOREX trading is considered "passive" but you have to take the time to configure your account (set up), make a trade (execute) and then watch your money grow (enjoy).

Out of fear, many sit on the side lines watching the game instead of participating. Though that is the nature of life. Investment opportunities are plentiful, because so few participate in them! The set-up in many real estate investments alone can be so exhausting you may never execute. Same with stocks; the research and analysis can be overbearing. Research will always be a part of your due diligence, but what else can you do to make the process easier, more enjoyable?

1. Get the Set-Up out of the way. For most investments, you need to have cash on hand. So develop a very liquid (investor talk for accessible) source of money. This is your Vegas money...something that if you lose you can shrug off and learn from. After your play account is established, look for a good broker, someone who has a host of high-yield investments on hand and can provide you with Set-Up easy investments.

2. Be prepared to make decisions without having all the information. You will never have "all" the information and inevitably the window of opportunity will pass and someone else will catch the ball to make the play. A good broker can also help navigate the credibility of a particular investments with testimonials and actual profits to show.

3. Expect the enjoyment. There is nothing worst than laying down your hard earned money on an investment that you did not know "everything" about and then panick if it will lose value or not. Expect great, sky-high returns. Focus on that reality and you will attract it.

4. Find ways to limit your activity involvement. After all it is NOT a passive investment if you have to work to keep the "pipeline full", as they say in network marketing. MLM is really a self-employed position you buy into. To get passive rewards, you need to work and work and work to maintain your "down line". Only after several bouts of fallout and re-training leaders will you enjoy passive income.

Investment opportunities are all around you. Open your world up to the possibilities. Step up to the plate and swing until you hit it...and you will go running, not home, but all the way to the bank!
