Here’s an interesting story
about creating passive income which I’d like to share to you. I stumbled upon this

a blog by Jay Castillo, a real state investor and an internet marketer. For those who have the same goal of being financially

A Spring Runs Dry
The story is told of a spring that ran dry in a
small mountain village. The leaders gathered to determine how they would supply
the village with clean water. There was another spring and reservoir about a
mile away but was too far for the villagers to travel.
One of the men volunteered to solve the problem by
carrying water into the village himself each morning for a set fee. Since the
need for water was clear, the leaders agreed to the offer and determined a fair
price for each bucket of water delivered.
Early the next morning the “bucket carrier” arose
and began transporting water. It was hard work but he was pleased with the
immediate pay for his efforts. He awoke each day and hurriedly carried water.
The more he delivered, the higher the pay.
As time went on, he began to think there had to be
a better way. So, he designed buckets that could hold more water and were
easier to carry. He bought better shoes and discovered a quicker route between
the reservoir and the village.
The problem was, despite all his improvements, the
bucket carrier still had to get up each day to carry water.
A Better Solution?
