Yes, I can understand that, but these people were in dire straits, if the story is accurate. And with five young kids. The article says they were 30 days from losing their house--so in 30 days they managed to write and sell enough books to make their mortgage payment?

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.

There's way too much missing information; I just looked at the article and video clip again. They retreated to their basement to do nothing but write, so intensely that they didn't take time to shower, and just who was watching the five kids, including the sick one that hubby had to leave his job to take care of? And who was doing the design, production, and especially the marketing of these books?
It's possible the way winning the lottery is possible.
