Passive income: NO

Becoming a passive income earner as a Supply Chain Automation Consultant is possible, but it may not be the norm for most individuals pursuing this side hustle. Setting up automation tools and processes is crucial to creating a more passive income stream. However, achieving true passivity where income flows consistently without active involvement typically requires building a solid client base, implementing efficient systems, and delegating tasks to outsourced help. While some people may reach this level of passive income, it is more common for individuals to remain actively involved in client projects and business operations to sustain their income. It's essential to manage expectations regarding the level of passivity achievable in this field. Costs range from $500 to $2,000 for setting up essential tools and resources. Time to profit can vary but expect at least 2 weeks before seeing returns.
