💡 What “Compounding Residual Income” Means:

Residual Income is earnings you continue to receive after the initial work is done (e.g., renewals, royalties, residuals from customers you signed earlier).
Compounding Residual Income means that over time, as your customer base and residual streams grow, your earnings can increase exponentially without proportionally increasing your time or effort.

✔️ Based on How TruPowur Operates:

You build a customer portfolio of energy clients (using our 7 point sales cycle).

As you add more customers over time, your residual income compounds — the earlier clients keep producing income while new ones stack on top.

If you grow a team or sponsor others, you can further magnify your residual streams through team overrides or bonuses.

🧠 In Simple Terms

Residual Income + Time + Growth = Compounding Financial Momentum

TruPowur’s business structure supports compounding residual income, especially for people who consistently build and retain a growing customer base and leverage team growth opportunities.
