“Most people would rather make a million dollars in their head every night than $5 in cash every day.” -George H. Larimer

Last month, I earned $4,000 from my writing. Much of it was passive income, coming in while I slept and watched This Is Us with my wife.

That may sound incredible to you (it does to me). It’s the most I’ve made in a single month from my business so far. For comparison, I earned a total of $40 over my first 4.5 years of writing. (That’s about 74 cents a month.)

What’s even better is that the money is consistent. I can consistently count on my systems to bring in my income each month. I’d rather have a consistent $100 every month instead of a $10,000 jackpot I didn’t earn — one is a sustainable source of reliable income, the other is empty, unsustainable luck that often leads to more financial poverty.

As best-selling author Jim Rohn once said:

“After you become a millionaire, you can give all of your money away because what’s important is not the million dollars; what’s important is the person you have become in the process of becoming a millionaire.”

It’s taken me a long time to build this passive income system. And the most important lesson I’ve learned along the way is this:

You can’t earn $4,000/month if you don’t know how to earn $40/month.

Ordinary People Focus on the Outcome. Extraordinary People Focus on the Process.

“This is the process by which wealth is accumulated; first in small sums, then in larger ones as a man learns and becomes more capable.” -George S. Clason

Worrying uses up enormous energy.

I’m a professional worrier. I’ve been doing it since I was 6, when I worried whether or not my 2nd grade crush Kaitlyn Moore would like the love letter I wrote her. (She didn’t — guess I didn’t worry enough, right?)

Ordinary people worry all the time. They focus on the outcome, on trying to “make things happen” that they actually have no control over.
