Passive income will set you financially free.

Yet 99% of people don't know how to start...

Here are the 8 best options for 2025:

1. Laundromats
A timeless passive income business.

Clean clothes are always in demand

• Set up machines
• Automate processes
• Enjoy steady cash flow
2. Ice machines

Place ice vending machines in high-traffic areas and watch the quarters add up.

• Low-maintenance
• Perfect for hot climates
• Great for busy locations
3. Credit Card Machines

Earn a percentage of every transaction with credit card processing terminals.

Small cuts from every transaction add up quickly.
4. Vending Machines

You can sell things like:

• Drinks
• Snacks
• Niche items

Place them in high-traffic areas

& you have yourself a business that brings in consistent cash flow with minimal maintenance

I personally have 100+ machines that generate $65,000/month profit.
5. Self-Serve Car Wash

People pay to wash their cars, and you collect the cash.

The benefits?

1) Low overhead
2) Steady demand

Definitely worth checking out.
6. Amazon KDP

Self-publish books with low upfront costs.

• Fiction
• Non-fiction
• Low-content books like journals

& simply stack up royalties over time.
7.. Micromarkets

Unattended mini convenience stores with higher profit margins than vending machines.

• Great for gyms
• Ideal for offices
• Perfect for apartment complexes

This is still incredibly underrated.

I own 4 of these...

One of them makes $22,000+/month.
8. Storage Facilities

People will always need extra space for their stuff.

All you have to do is provide storage…

& you can enjoy your low-maintenance, scalable income

A pattern I've noticed in all wealthy families:

They teach their kids about money before they teach them to drive.

If you want to leave a financial legacy…

Here are the 7 lessons smart parents pass down:
1. The 8th Wonder of the World.

Two words: Compound interest.

Just $100 invested at 15 years old becomes $10,000 by the time you retire.

But if you wait until 35? Only $2,000.

That's assuming a 10% annual return (the S&P 500 average).

Time in the market > Timing the market.
2. The 50/30/20 Rule.

• 50% needs (rent, food, basics)
• 30% wants (fun, hobbies)
• 20% savings/investing

This framework keeps you from going broke while still enjoying life.

Most people skip the 20% and wonder why they're always stressed about money.

I'm 35 years old.

I make $65k a month in profit.

I owe it all to the world's most boring side hustle.

Here's what I do (& how you can too): Image
Step 1: Go to Google Maps & search for "apartment complexes" in your area

Step 2: Use Apollo to find the email address of the property manager/owner

Step 3: Send them a simple email using this exact script...
You want to keep it simple:

"Can I place a vending machine in your building? It's a luxury amenity for residents & keeps them happier. I'll do all of the maintenance so there's no work from you."

Everyone should have a vending machine that makes $600 a month.

It takes 30 minutes a week to manage (& can even save you on taxes).

Here are 7 steps to launch in the next 30 days: Image
Step 1: Finance your machine.

You don't need $5,000 upfront.

Most vending distributors offer 10% down & the rest paid monthly (~$200/mo).

That's $500 out of pocket for a $5,000 machine.
Step 2: Find your location.

I look for…

→ Stationary audience
→ 50+ people passing daily
→ Limited food options nearby

Best spots: Urgent cares, warehouses, apartment complexes, and gyms.

Don’t buy Bitcoin.
Don’t buy an ATM.
Don’t buy a laundromat.

Instead, buy this little smart cooler that turns any apartment complex into a cash machine.

Let me show you exactly how it works: Image
Apartment complexes are desperate for modern amenities right now.

Most still have broken vending machines collecting dust from 2015.

Property managers want solutions.

Residents want convenience.

You can be the bridge between them.

This is your moment.

Here's the exact process:
Step 1: Find apartment buildings on Google Maps

Search your area.

Look for complexes with full parking lots (high foot traffic indicator).

Make a list of 30-50 properties.

Don’t spend $5,000 on a nice watch.

Instead, invest in a Micromarket that can pay you $5,000 every month.

(One of mine makes $22k+/month).

Best part?

No big down payment needed.

Here's how you can start yours: Image
1. What are Micromarkets?

Micromarkets are the future of passive income.

They're basically high-end vending machines:

• 0 employees needed
• High profit margins
• Unlimited earning potential

I've placed 5 myself & helped countless others do the same.

Now, to get started…
2. You first need to find the perfect location.

Look for high-traffic areas like:

• Office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Manufacturing facilities

Reach out to property managers by email, phone, or in person.

I asked AI to design the perfect diet for living to 100.

But with one catch:

It had to cost less than $200/week.

Here’s the exact meal plan it gave me (step by step). 🧵
The prompt I gave AI:

“Design a 7-day diet for maximum lifespan. Budget: <$200/week. Must be realistic, filling, and based on the best science.”

No supplements. No gimmicks. Just food.
The rules AI followed:

1. Anchor every meal with protein
2. Prioritize whole plants + fiber
3. Limit processed junk + sugar
4. Healthy fats from fish, nuts, olive oil
5. Stick to realistic portions

Total spend: $180–190/week for one adult.
