Very few just materialize overnight. Yes it might start off as a moderate product or service for less than minimum wage, but if that was a reason not to do it... then it wasn't your passion to begin with. Not to mention we wouldn't have a lot of the big name companies we have now. Just don't think that working for yourself is all beaches and 20 hour work week. Most business owners do 60+ hours, part of the game when you're owner, worker, management, marketer, etc all in one. Every good business has to start somewhere. Very few just materialize overnight.

Please don't take it personally. You could create board games, art, grow pants, build tables whatever. Just as long as you find a passion work hard to be successful, that is key.

Is $1,000 the hurdle per month? If so, I think that is very achievable by practically anybody who wants it! Excellent GP indeed. Is $1,000 the hurdle per month?

Item 1 - working for myself, is the reason I want to earn more money so that I can have an office like Ramit's brother. Australia is my preferred location! Fortunately I was able to take action and grew my personal finance blog to the point is making me about 3K a month on average. A nice chunk of change. It has allowed me to take more holidays, feel less controlled by the gyrations at work and more importantly will fund my MBA. It is possible and inaction is your only enemy.

Love baking? Start selling enough cookies to make an extra $1000/month. Love building websites? Build out a freelance business for free nights and weekend. Find your passion, it makes you happy, you're willing to work harder and longer to be successful. Seems like you just have to chase your passion. Love baking?

Sometimes he breaks it down a little simply though. I was chatting with him (well I was tweeting and he tweeted back once) about starting a separate website that was way above my head in terms of programming. His response was simply to learn that new CMS...just not that simple. I suspected though if we talked more he would have said move on to something that I can do!
