Passive Income Expert: How To Make 10k Per Month In 90 Days!

Quick Overview

Serial entrepreneur Chris Kerner, known as the "king of side hustles," emphasizes that achieving significant income like $10k per month requires ignoring passion initially and following profit until financial freedom is secured, noting that most of his 80+ launched businesses started with under $500 and that success hinges on overcoming the fear of what others think.

Key Points: Chris Kerner has launched over 80 businesses, cumulatively generating low hundreds of millions in revenue and low tens of millions in profit, though the majority were abandoned or failed. Kerner advises that the prerequisite mentality for success is having the pain of the problem outweighing the care about what people think, stating, "If we can get over that, the world is our oyster at that point." He advocates for ignoring passion initially, stating, "Follow the profit until you can afford to follow your passion," because the overlap between passion and profit is near zero at the start. Kerner strongly recommends copying existing, successful business models rather than innovating early on, citing his successful phone screen remanufacturing business that yielded $9 million in revenue after copying the model from an inbound call. When dealing with established business practices ("old problems"), Kerner suggests copying what works, like Y Combinator's seven-minute interviews, to avoid learning lessons the hard way, as competitors' models are often stress-tested. True passive income is hard to find early on; one must be willing to create "active income, sweaty income, ugly income" first, like Kerner's experience with his unloved but profitable concierge car buying business. Kerner suggests that burning the boats (eliminating the plan B) should only occur after thoroughly testing and proving a profitable pathway, as premature quitting based only on an idea leads to failure.
