I think that's horrible advice.
Get a job that allows you to work on your business on the clock.
Since everyone shams, put in your 2 hours. Spend the rest of your time building an Internet business.
Once your internet business is going, then quit your job.
Or keep the job, wait to get fired, then collect unemployment.

I built up my nest egg to $200K at age 32 from just working, I don't see anything wrong with good old fashioned work...
What's wrong with working on an internet business AFTER work? I wrote my first book staying up late at night after work for a couple months, and I am quickly finishing up my 2nd.
If you have a really good idea I would say then maybe take the chance, but if not don't quit your day job until you can afford it...

Would be cool to see a thread with ideas for these types of jobs.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling

Good point. I've written on here about what I did, but I'll repeat it. I kept a steady job, but refused every promotion. The reason for that is they make you do a lot of work for a cursory amount of money. It's not worth it. I found a better way to accumulate savings was to keep my main job as easy as possible, then make real money freelancing. Then I learned to invest.
I think the problem a lot of people have is they want the prestige of a job title because of the influence of office politics. But unless you're in upper management, most promotions are bullshit: a title with lots of responsibility and a few extra bucks. You're better off freelancing instead.

There's so many ways you can make money without a proper 9-5, but a rule of thumb is usually: Legal, easy, lucrative. Pick two.

That's what I was thinking too.
captain capitalism had an article that gave a good example, and that example was a security guard

Second, since you aren't supposed to be doing anything other than merely existing most security companies allow you to do some other work. In other words, there is no expectation you need to be constantly occupied all the time. Matter of fact, it's expected you'll bring a book, study, bring a laptop or whatever. Some security companies and some security gigs won't allow for this (for example body guarding some socialite at a night club) and these are not the gigs I'm talking about. But the majority of security work is sitting at some corporate campus, twiddling your thumbs, killing time.

As Mike said, this is a horrible advice.
If you are going to have a passive income, you will want to increase it. And it's going to be not only a passive income, but a business. Can you run a business without employees? No. How can you be a good leader/boss if you have never worked and you don't know what an employee likes or not? By reading Steve Pavlina's blog?
Not having a job sounds pretty cool, but it's just bullshit. Do you know a successful entrepreneur who didn't have a job in his entire life? And those who had money from parents or who had a family business doesn't count.
