The passive income world is usually very ableist. It's all about doing more, being healthy, pushing yourself to the limit.
This little octopus 🐙 is not capable of that. I only can work a little each day. I don't stay up late, I don't push myself. 1️⃣#ableism #passiveincome

I need to take care of my #mental health. I am often ill (I have a chronic illness that is very painful). I also have a myriad of admin tasks to take care of for my sons and schooling. 2️⃣#mentalhealth #chronicillness

It's been near two decades since I've set foot in an office. I probably couldn't get a job right now if I wanted to.
I can't, in any case, because I have to stay home for my autistic kids.
But also, I don't WANT to. 3️⃣#autism #mentalhealth #Neurodiversity #ADHD

French government says I can't collect as many benefits as I do now if I also work from home. I am grateful for that financial help, but it's also putting me in a precarious situation.
I can't build a business now without losing a ton of money in benefits, 4️⃣

and when the benefits will end, I won't have a business to fall back on. These things take time, and I can't rely on some miracle to earn a living.
I also won't be able to leave the house, because my kids can't stay alone.
If I even wanted to leave the house! 5️⃣

So my solution is to start working on the only earnings I am allowed to have: royalties! That means I can do POD and self-publishing. Which is EXACTLY what I love to do. 6️⃣

I had to go through a mental barrier and allow myself to pay for some tools. Not a lot—I really need TWO of them.
The one you need above all is:

The money I spent was a great investment. Instead of spending tons of time and energy into uploading my designs by hand on each venue, I can now just focus on the fun part: CREATING. 8️⃣

So far, my tools pay for themselves. It's an initial investment that allows me to focus on building more assets, not worry about any uploading or updating tasks that I hate, or even just relax as 💩 gets done. 9️⃣

I know spending money can be scary. I spent too long working for little to no result, and I regret doing so. Who knows how much I would earn now, if I had been making my life easier before 2020!
Start now. Get organized, automate things, and start earning money. 🔟
