Sucessful entrepreneurs hav a load of money. They sure have a successful foundation for thier income but that's not all. There are different sources which provides different types of income.

This type of income is generated from assets you have purchased or created…. (businesses or investments)…. without you actively working for it. To generate passive income, most of the work is done at the beginning. Income will continue to come in month-after-month or year-after-year, with little additional work by you. Making money while you sleep!

Here are some sources of passive income:

1. Rentals (realstate)

Earned income is money you actively work for.  This is income generated from trading your time for money. “Employee” and “Self-Employed” is the most heavily taxed income. Earned income is the most common ways of making money. But, the risk is, once you stop working you stop making money. Wages from a job and income from a business that you actively participate in are examples of earned income.

The income generated by self employment also comes under active income. Other than this salaries, wages and commissions come under active income stream.

A residual income stream will earn you money even when you’re not on the clock. A lot like passive income, you generate income from assets you have purchased or created (businesses or investments) without you actively working for it. Having residual income allows you to do more important things with your time. Getting paid over and over.
