Can confirm. I made ~$60k this way - zero start up cost, zero advertising cost, zero stock, no money invested. All I had was an idea - something I was interested in. I've seen others make far more than this doing the same thing.
The drive was freedom, the vehicle was technology.
It's not abt the sum of money u make as $60k is nothing to many people I know on twitter - it's the satisfaction of living how you want, not having to commute, &the beautiful effects of uncertainty, serendipity, not having an enforced schedule or knowing where you'll be in a year
Further, I am nothing like my friend @jaffer - he is a true old skool entrepreneur; his skills honed in business trench warfare. I am an normal person not an entrepreneur, I think the term entrepreneur puts normal people off - they believe they need an innate business gene..
but you don't. All you need is commonsense, enthusiasm and a dose of persistance. You don't need to be a Warren Buffet, a silicon valley investor, or a 'hustler' (like 'Yellow Kid'). Anyone with half-a-brain can do it.
Not being an entrepreneur means automatically you don't risk ending up in the 'graveyard of entrepreneurs' - your zero cost success which turns to failure doesn't kill you. You start again as opportunity is still there - it doesn't go away.
