This thread is a braindump for anyone that has trouble seeing opportunity.
Below I'll jot down a few services I recently paid for that I considered "good money" for the time, effort, skill set, and investment capital involved. Anyone that has recent examples, feel free to add on. Hopefully this thread will help open up some eyes for opportunities that exist in the service sector.
