Take what you know and what you are good at. Figure out how to monetize it and scale the fuck out of it.
I started with selling IT services to small firms ... then to medium firms and now large companies that I have a piece of their overall consulting budget.. Across the 50+ clients I service with varying spend levels, I have a business that runs nicely with an average profit at $100k a month in the door after costs for staff/materials/and all the other stuff that a business consumes...
All I did was start small with nothing and when something worked - Scaled the fuck out of it. I met a few guys that shared my vision of excellence in customer service and the abilities to delivery on time and exceed the customer's expectations. Years later - we have relationships with customers that depend on us as their IT team.
What inspired me was coming to GFY and reading posts from guys like Quiet, Brad from Mojo and Minte... That if you work and diversify and really apply yourself, you can make money in this life.. Its up to YOU to decide you want to.

I am a huge fan of scalable business ventures. For sure.
The fire, I lost it for years, but it's back. I will make something work. Find a way make a way. Good post.
