Great read, Deepak. Thanks for pulling back the curtain on this myth!

Most so-called “passive” income requires a ton of upfront work and consistent oversight.

It’s easy to get lured by the idea of revenue flowing in while you sleep, but your reminder that real passive income is more about systems and mindset really hits home. It’s not magic. It’s labor, strategy, and sometimes even luck.

In my own case, after years of freelancing and building niche sites, I finally gained some breathing room. But even now, I keep active with client work to stay sharp and secure a safety net. The “passive” part kicks in only after the systems are set up.
