When people in my life question me on my entrepreneurial aspirations, I simply ask them what they make per day. Often that number comes out to about $100 net. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
Then I tell them that at $20 profit, that's only 5 sales per day. Or at $10 profit that's 10 sales. For a single product. This doesn't even count weekends where people are obviously also buying. Or holidays where sales are boosted. Just a measly 5 or 10 sales per day in the entirety of the USA. Sounds pretty reasonable. In fact, most businesses touting only 5 or 10 sales a day is likely in dire shape indeed.
Suddenly the math of working 40 hours per week vs finding 5 sales per day starts looking wonky and they say "hmm... well then... good luck I suppose" as they are lost in contemplation on whether or not the math is somehow wrong.
