Let’s get started…

 

Three Forms of Income

There are three broad forms of income you can generate – earned, leveraged and passive. Let’s have a look at each in a little more detail.

  • Earned income is income that is generated by working. This form of income is generated by being an employee or self-employed and is paid immediately. Examples of earned income include – working a job, consulting, speaking, teaching or any other activity that is based on time/effort spent.
  • Leveraged income is where you do the work once and you get paid repeatedly for doing the work. For example – when an author writes a book once, they get paid every time the book is purchased.
  • Passive income is receiving income from assets you have created or purchased. Some types of passive income include – rental income from investment properties, business income (that is not from earned income), investing and savings as well as affiliate and network marketing.

 

Learning to Utilise Leverage

Utilising leverage is about working smarter not harder. The main differences between linear and leveraged income are –

  • Linear income is where you do the work once and you get paid once. For example – with a salary you work so many hours, you get paid for so many hours. With a linear income, when you stop your salary also stops.

Linear Income

  • Leveraged income is where you can do the work once and get paid many times. The income is not proportional to the amount of time you spend on the project or the service provided. With leveraged income, you are trading leverage for money.
