Is it earning money in your sleep? Is it working hard now to set the stage for easy income later? In either case, it would mean freedom to create your own career and spend time with those who matter most. For many, it also sounds like a pie-in-the-sky fantasy. In 2008, Pat Flynn was laid off from his architecture firm and decided to become his own boss. Through a series of strategic experiments, Pat forged a path as an internet entrepreneur, and has been publicly documenting his experience ever since. Nearly seven years later, Flynn is now a wildly successful podcaster, author, public speaker, and expert of earning smart passive income, also the name of his brand. In this episode, Pat discusses his journey to becoming a serial entrepreneur, the importance of niching down projects, setting boundaries for yourself, his role models and finding mentorship among many other pieces of advice.
