How Cardone Earns Passive Income When it comes to the various passive income streams, Cardone said he has a strong preference for one above all else.
“I dump all of my money into real estate because it is a real asset that generates monthly passive income,” he said.
Although it does take an initial investment to get started in real estate investing, it’s an investment that typically does pay off over time.
The Importance of Multiple Income Streams While Cardone is a big proponent of passive income, he acknowledged that you shouldn’t rely solely on passive income to build wealth.
“Everyone should have multiple flows of income: 1) ordinary income, 2) bonus revenue and 3) passive income,” he said.
Story continues Cardone also suggested a few ways to increase your current income streams:
Sales
Getting prospects for your company
Affiliate programs
Buying a business that’s already running and producing income
By taking advantage of your ability to create multiple income streams — including passive income — you’ll be able to build wealth.
“Wealth should be a mandatory goal for all people,” Cardone said.“Creating wealth should literally become part of the American pledge.”
