Yeah, it happened. I was at work minding my own business when I get an anonymous phone call. Someone purchased a business next to my jobsite, DESPERATELY needed a service that isn't provided by anyone within 50 miles, and came wandering over to my employer looking for a person with this knowledge.....me.
A few discussions and $4800 bucks later ($2500 up front) and I have my first customer. I thought $4800 was a bit steep, but to get a professional company out here would cost them $1000 just to have them drive up to the front door and would be upwards of $10,000 for completion.
Sometimes, that's just how it works. I've said this before.....use your employer to figure out what others need. Learn a skill that takes some time and plenty of experience to learn that others will pay for. With my particular skills, there are literally zero individuals or companies that do this in my area.
Good luck !!
