Why You Struggle with Passive Income (It's Not Your Fault)

This isn't your fault. You've been conditioned by cultural mindsets that glorify the hustle while making passive income feel dirty or unrealistic. But understanding these barriers is the first step to breaking free from paycheck-to-paycheck living and building real wealth through real estate.
