     • Information can be sold repeatedly (e.g., courses, webinars).
     • Attention and information are crucial; having valuable information and being able to attract attention leads to wealth.
  3. Product/Service for Money:
     • Sell goods or services for profit.
     • Challenges: Competition in global economy makes this route harder unless you offer something unique or have strong branding.

     • High initial capital required for sustainable income without active work.
