“My father lived in desperate poverty for decades, engaged in soul-crushing work, and was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma when he was in his seventies.
Although I retired, I was already incapable of doing anything.
The last sight of my father set my heart on fire.
This is why I wrote the book, “The Income Revolution,” by Brian Page.
Deeply shocked by his father's tragic death, he began planning a life with "freedom of money and time" to live a "life without being consumed," and has since moved beyond being an ordinary office worker to become a wealthy man with billions of won in assets.


The solution he found was 'automatic income'.
I actually worked at a company and designed an automatic income, and when I was ready, I quit my job.
Just three years after quitting his job, his annual income reached tens of millions of dollars, or hundreds of billions of won.
There are nouveau riche who enjoy "abundance of money and time" by establishing a system that consistently and repetitively generates cash flow through automatic income.
People like me and my friends.
The key is 'quickly'.
Don't even think about becoming rich in 30 or 40 years.
Unless you plan on lugging a walker around in your Lamborghini.
You just have to suffer for 3 to 5 years.
Instead, it will be very difficult.”

He is confident that although it is a difficult journey, he will definitely reach his destination, and he presents the A to Z of automatic income planning to readers.
He generously shares his own experiences and practical roadmaps, along with those of his friends Tim Ferriss and Dean Grazisio.
Overworked office workers, serial entrepreneurs who haven't achieved their dreams of success, and small business owners who have become slaves to the N-jobbers will especially resonate with the book's message and draw powerful inspiration and energy from Brian's experiences and guidance.

Decades of soul-crushing work and struggling to make a living finally took their toll on my father.
My father's body became increasingly weak, he suffered from arthritis, and he lived in pain.
Now that I'm retired and have some free time, my health isn't helping and it's starting to get worse by the day.
Father had little time left.
I was upset that my father couldn't enjoy his retirement.
On the one hand, I was very upset by the endless questions.
Why did my father struggle financially his entire life? Why did he spend his entire life doing work he hated, solely focused on money? What other dreams did he never achieve?

After this trip, your language skills may change.
Words like overtime, hourly wage, salary, job, and annual salary will disappear from your life.
Instead, words and ideas like wealth creation tools, assets, passive income, cash flow, and discretionary time will likely stick in your head.
Let's escape from the ordinary life of working hard to make a living like most people.
As passive planners, we can live comfortably off the cash flow from our automatic income assets.

This isn't just my thing.
Everyone envisions a rosy future when they are young.
I can't imagine growing up and doing anything other than what I love most.
So I just dream of something that makes my heart race and makes me feel good just thinking about it.
Have you ever heard a child say, "I want to be a middle manager, working like a robot in a company where they treat me like a disposable commodity with little chance of promotion?" They don't understand that a world exists where people work 60 hours a week.
I can't even fathom the existential anxiety that grips me every time my alarm clock goes off on Monday morning.
Children have no way of knowing what it feels like to be exhausted from working and to feel your life and yourself shrinking infinitely.

Imagine your bank account balance becoming meaningless when you face death.
While you're chasing wealth, your children have grown up and become adults, and now you want to spend more time with them? What if you want a more fulfilling marriage, meaningful and intimate friendships, and spiritual fulfillment? There's one thing you need to understand.
All of this does not come by itself.
It takes time, energy, and even concentration.
If you think that only money can give you comfort, then the conclusion is set.
You'll miss out on everything that gives clarity and depth to your life.

I don't have time to wait long.
I have no intention of becoming rich in 30 or 40 years.
I don't want to drive a senior citizen's walker in my Lamborghini.
You can't die before you become rich, right?
I am willing to be cursed again and become a frog.
Also, this time I plan to surprise everyone by revealing my own philosophy on becoming rich.
Are you ready to hear? "Get rich quick" isn't a scam.
When we look at shortcuts to getting rich quickly through colored glasses, our abilities and possibilities are limited.
We have to choose one of the two.
The choice is ours alone.
Choose whether to cling to these limiting beliefs or become rich.

The idea that time and money are not a one-to-one exchange has been a guiding principle in my life for a very long time.
And since becoming an adult, I have almost always lived as 'voluntarily unemployed'.
Instead, it will realize automatic income.
I constantly created e-lines and traveled the world, enjoying the freedom of time that economic freedom brought.
But it wasn't free at all.
I have invested countless hours in the things I choose to do.
I learned and learned how to build an automatic income stream, and I never stopped learning, even in times of crisis.
Thanks to this, I was able to learn how to own, create, and control assets.

It is not uncommon for people to choose the exponential path and work hard, only to find themselves with little income for several years.
Despite all this, there is only one reason I am willing to accept this choice: I know I am playing on the right field.
At first, you may not feel like you are on the path to success.
Remember that even if one cent doubles every day, after a week it will only be worth 64 cents.
But then one day, everything explodes upwards and it seems like an overnight success.
Now you and I finally know what really happened and how clever they were.
They bet on the power of exponential growth by focusing on creating income streams that have the potential to grow exponentially.

There was only one reason I was able to go from zero sales to $64,000 in one night.
All I did was find successful role models and follow them.
I followed the advice of those who had gone before me.
Shake and Snyder provided the breakthrough I needed.
These two people were far more senior than me on this journey, so they could see right through me where I was getting lost.
So, throwing me a rope would have been a piece of cake for them.
I am convinced that following role models is the best investment we can make.
If you are an inexperienced person going down this path for the first time, it is inevitable that you will encounter many traps and obstacles lurking everywhere.
But if you follow the lead, you can avoid these pitfalls and obstacles.
Life is short.
Don't go back to the difficult path, follow in the footsteps of the experienced.
This is the best way to reach your destination as quickly as possible.

Now let's get to the last type of controller I like.
This is the type that people most often overlook: the dropshipper.
This is a retail order processing method in which the seller does not hold inventory, and the business model is that the seller relays the customer's order to the manufacturer, who then ships it directly to the customer.
(…) The core of the business model they use is the virtual store.
They do not need to buy, own, manufacture or produce products.
The core of the revenue model through asset control is very simple.
We don't have to own any income-generating assets.
We just need to control this asset.
Do you like the idea of ​​ethically sharing your income stream from assets owned by others? If so, the Controlling Freeform may be the path for you as a passivepreneur.
If done well, this could be the best shortcut to generating automatic income in the shortest amount of time.

White labeling is a great way to maintain control over your assets.
A perfect example of this is products sold under Amazon's brand.
The Amazon site sells products bearing the Amazon logo, and the sheer variety of products is jaw-dropping.
This fact is surprising, but there is another secret here that most people don't know.
Amazon does not manufacture any of these products.
Amazon simply obtained permission from the manufacturers to brand these products as its own.
This is exactly what is called white labeling.
A type of rebranding is when a company sells or provides to customers another company's products or services using its own brand or packaging.

Avoid the miser syndrome.
If you don't escape this trap, you will never be able to escape the shackles of poverty until the day you die.
So how can we avoid this trap? It's worth trying, so try my suggestion.
Stop thinking like, 'How can I cut down on my grocery bill this week?' or 'Where is the cheapest gas station?'
Instead, ask yourself this:
Ask yourself, "How can I make an extra million dollars?" "How can I double my money next month?" or "How can I increase my income tenfold?"
This is a favorite saying of my good friend and colleague, Grant Cardone, creator of the "10X Workout," and it really works.

One of the heroes I admire is Henry Ford, the 'King of Automobiles'.
It's no secret that Ford isn't the most intelligent man in the world.
Local newspapers even ran several articles criticizing Ford for being ignorant and having little formal education.
Once, during an interview, a reporter deliberately asked Ford vague questions in an attempt to trap him.
Ford responded by firing a volley of bullets, flattening the reporter's nose.
“Tell me why I need to know all this when all I have to do is tell my people to come running with the answers.” Henry Ford understood the importance of staying in his lane and focusing on what he was good at.
In other words, he realized that if there was someone to do the work for him, there was no need to step forward himself.
