Run

I like how this one is so chill, with such a smooth sense of movement. It's like when everything comes together when you're running; temperature's just right, the path is good, your muscles and breath feel good, and all's right with the world. A podcast I like called If Books Could Kill reviews popular "airport books" like Nudge, The World is Flat, Rich Dad Poor Dad, etc, etc. Recently, they covered The 4-Hour Workweek. They noted that the author was very wealthy prior to scaling back his workweek (thanks to working all the time on his health supplement venture), that the author offloaded much of his work onto low-paid virtual assistants (remember when that was so popular for awhile? Now I know why), and included a section instructing the reader how they too could make themselves into an "expert" (according to the author; you just need to know more than some small percentage of your prospective audience) and earn a passive income. I wonder how much his advice fueled the proliferation of online courses we have these days. Ironically, the author himself went on to write follow up books like The 4-Hour Workout and The 4-Hour Chef, setting himself up as an "expert" on those subjects to scam buyers, exactly as he advised in his first book.

I am not a runner. Nope. I have never felt like everything is right with the world when running. All through my athletic career, it was something I endured... and then I took it out on the runners when we hit the weight room. The passive income tap makes me sigh. On the one hand, it really is achievable. I have it to a certain degree with royalties I earn from books which I own the copyright to. But. It takes sooooo much work to even begin to reap rewards. At least for most. There are out-layers who find success fairly quickly, but it just doesn't happen that way for the vast majority. I try, for instance, to straddle the line with new authors of warning them about how hard it is to make any kind of money whatsoever... while still encouraging them to write. A lot of earning a passive income on any number of things that be found on the internet also depends on being early to the game. By the time you start seeing classes being set up on how to make six figures doing things like drop shipping or any number of low effort, low investment ways to make money, the market has been flooded by others trying to do the same thing, profit margins are driven to the floor, and it's hard to even find customers. But I can go on about how much all that upsets me...
