Brett Kelly is a perfect example of someone who made money and even got his dream job with as little as $100. Brett was a talented programmer /blogger, who stumbled upon a new software he really enjoyed using called Evernote and decided to write an e-book, Evernote Essentials, on how to use the software. He contacted the company via their general email to ask if he could use their logo. They really liked the idea of the book and agreed he could use the name but not the logo. They also offered to help promote the book. He sent the first draft for review and they liked it and told him the CEO of the company wanted to meet him. He met the CEO, who offered him a job that he wasn’t even looking for and he was allowed to work from home since he didn’t want to move cities. Not only did he make money from sales of the e-book but he was also able to earn money from his dream job. They created a job for him, that didn’t even exist, based on his strengths i.e. writing and programming. He runs the corporate website and writes user documentation.

In conclusion, the most important thing is to have a vision, start small and start now. Money is definitely not a limiting factor neither is it a means to an end.
