Are you stuck chasing financial freedom but unsure which path leads there fastest? Maybe you’ve heard about passive income, land flipping, or Infinite Banking, but the strategies sound either too complex or too risky. What if the key to unlocking consistent, recession-resistant cash flow is not just in the strategy but in knowing yourself?

According to Russ Morgan, a seasoned financial educator and investor, true passive income starts with understanding your “Investor DNA.” He highlights how many people fail with passive income strategies because they chase what works for others instead of aligning investments with their own strengths and preferences.
