I hope you perceive the problem with the advice “invent something.” That’s the hard part.

This advice reminds me of an old Monty Python sketch, a TV show about how to be rich. “First you need to make a lot of money!” Then the “being rich” part falls into place.

Selling skills is not a “mug’s game.” Not every path to earning a good income with some freedom has to scale. I do solo freelancing, make a good living, live and travel wherever I want, choose the projects I work on. Mug? Or should I be selling another crap ebook or tutorial video online?
