I grew up in a unique situation where my family was poor, but all of my friends were rich. My best friend was RICH RICH. I got to see up close how much better life is with more cash. This experience lit me up with a passion to figure out how I can build wealth. (I have since learned to think about things like innovation and value before money!).

I am the primary parent for my toddler. My husband makes good money (160k) and is extremely busy. I still want to start a business, but I only have 10 ish hours per week! In 5 years or so, I can work full time hopefully.

Can anyone out there talk to me about what is possible with that amount of time? Or direct me to books etc?? All I have heard is that if you want to make it in business and develop your money tree, you have to put in huge hours up front.

I am a freelance academic coach for university students. I am interested in developing a program for struggling uni students to do better in school. I want to make a video based program so that it can eventually exist without less input from me. In the long run, I want to sell or license the program to universities.
