I know it might seem a little strange, but I have started thinking the same way. What
can I do without having to invest a massive amount of money? How can I use my existing skills to get out of the situation I'm in - or at least make it better? I'm not in financial hardship at the moment - my thoughts are more about changing my lifestyle.
I still think the cottage nature of some of these areas - ebooks, music, app development, art, video production and even craft & fashion design - are sometimes not fully appreciated. People are used to having a "job" and they feel that being a entrepreneur usually means massive investment and risk.
But the financial and technical barriers are now actually quite low for some of these artistic/creative pursuits and there is a viable market out there for all of them. For everyone? Possibly not. But for those with the skills and the determination? I believe so.
I think this couple sat down and said, "What
can we do for which there is a market?"
It may not be so much an inspiration, but a confirmation on what is possible.
