So I've been a member on here for about 18 months now and spent the vast majority of it just reading, comprehending, learning, and gathering information on ideas and processes used to take an idea to success.

After spending that time, doing all of that and the birth of my 2nd child, I decided I'm educated enough (to at least take action and start) working on a passive income business.

If you want to skip the background and details of my past, just skip down from here to the smiley face lol.

I'm currently in a slow lane job of owning my own gym which I started 6 years ago with the idea of I can things better than what is offered where I live.

The gym has been successful in the matter of that it has taken care of me and my family, but after rereading TMF I realized that it wasn't ever going be the vehicle to get me where I needed/wanted to be in my life and provide the type of security I want for my family... Plus I was burned out and learned quite a few lessons over those 6 years.

This past November, I sold off 80% of the gym and kept a small portion of it as a way to made some side income and basically give me and my friends an awesome place to workout.

I've always had other streams of revenue (some passive) helping out, but never focused on one specific type of passive income plan with the goal of growing it.

I've done online training which in the past 8 years has made me probably 25k and was what helped open my gym, done affiliate stuff on a personal fitness blog which made me 6k, created a football training ebook that made me 5k and continues to bring in a few hundred bucks per year without me touching it.

But overall I'm looking for a different type of PI business as I absolutely hated every part of blogging, and online product creation.

:)

I'm in the process of starting to private label some products to sell on Amazon as first new venture into Passive Income with a plan.

I purchased the AMA suite and have spent the past week researching products, listening to podcats and reading posts from successful Amazon sellers, searching for comparable products on alibaba and think I've found a few that I should be able to narrow down to 1 starting product.

I'm not going to register a company or do any of that until I actually get a quality sample in my hand and placing a trial order, but I'm excited to try this path out.

Right now I'm still just reading everything possible on the subject (without going on information overload), but it's kind of a standstill until I physically get the samples in my hand.

If anyone has any questions/advice feel free to ask, and just so this thread doesn't go stagnant, if you have any health & fitness questions lol feel free to ask those as well.
