As entrepreneurs build our businesses, we repeatedly see assurances and promises online from soothsayers who guarantee they have the secret for how we can also achieve passive income. But it's important to define exactly what passive income is, and specifically what work must be done to try to succeed at.\u00a0<\/p><p>Because passive income isn't all there is for us. There are several ways and means to make money with your business, and if we focus on passive income we may count ourselves out of other, more reliable methods to earn money through what we know or do.\u00a0<\/p><p>By the end of this episode, you'll be able to define several ways you can earn income, and they aren't pipe dreams. With the right approach and effort, your income can get you a bit closer to that promised land of entrepreneurial success.\u00a0<\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Links from this Episode<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/marcussheridan.com\/they-ask-you-answer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>They Ask, You Answer<\/em> by Marcus Sheridan<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/dottotech.com\/?s=evernote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steve's Evernote content at DottoTech.com<\/a><\/p><p>Steve's News Stories for the week:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/link.thehustle.co\/click\/23681302.45685\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1qTlFYQUM5SVZSdw\/5f3baac02c81bf6314418c28B171473e2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">First YouTube video in 2005<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/3\/5\/22314980\/tom-cruise-deepfake-tiktok-videos-ai-impersonator-chris-ume-miles-fisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The deep fakes that keep Steve up at night<\/a><\/p><p>Rachel's News Stories for the week:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90631900\/eu-apples-app-store-is-in-breach-of-european-antitrust-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EU sues Apple for violating antitrust laws<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90619628\/the-silver-tsunami-is-coming-inside-the-quest-to-help-seniors-age-at-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tech helps seniors with medication and health<\/a><\/p><hr \/><div><strong>Our other things:<\/strong><\/div><ul><li>Weekly live, free tutorials &#8211;\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/dottotech.lpages.co\/webinar-wednesday\/\">Webinar Wednesday<\/a><\/li><li>Weekly live, paid business tutorials &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wearethegreywave.com\/foundational-friday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Foundational Fridays (Business Building Blocks)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/groups\/gogrey\">Grey Zone on Facebook<\/a> a place for Baby Boomers and GenX to meet, share and learn about online business<\/li><li><p>Grey Matters is made possible through your generous support! <a href=\"http:\/\/patreon.com\/dottotech\">Please\u00a0become a Patron of Grey Matters!<\/a><\/p><\/li><\/ul><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><strong>All our other Links Worth Visiting!<\/strong><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>\u2192 Join us for Webinar Wednesday, every week!: <a href=\"http:\/\/members.dottotech.com\/webinar-wednesday-registration-page\/\">http:\/\/members.dottotech.com\/webinar-wednesday-registration-page\/<\/a><\/div><div>\u2192 Hire Steve as a Speaker:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dottotech.com\/speaker\/\">https:\/\/dottotech.com\/speaker\/<\/a><\/div><div>\u2192\u00a0\u00a0We have Merch!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/teespring.com\/stores\/dotto-tech\">https:\/\/teespring.com\/stores\/dotto-tech<\/a><\/div><div>\u2192 What We Use, Steve\u2019s Toolkit:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2JWqrBM\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2JWqrBM<\/a><\/div><div>\u2192 Our Amazon Store:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/shop\/dottotech?ref=ac_inf_hm_vp\">httphttps:\/\/www.amazon.com\/shop\/dottotech?ref=ac_inf_hm_vp<\/a>\u00a0<\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p><div><hr \/><p><strong>About Us:<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Steve Dotto &#8211; Host<\/em><\/p><p>Canada's favourite geek.\u00a0<\/p><p>For over 20 years, as host and executive producer of Dotto Tech, a nationally syndicated TV show, Steve entertained and educated millions of Canadians on all aspects of technology.<\/p><p>After spending 20 years in traditional broadcasting Steve reinvented himself learning the world of social media, online community building and Internet Marketing as he built his YouTube channel into his new career.<\/p><p>His passion is teaching Baby Boomers and GenX how to remain relevant in the digital age, how we can reinvent ourselves and grow side hustles into successful online businesses.<\/p><p>Steve has a gift for making complex concepts easy to understand.
