I've got this question, and the person I think was genuine. Is there a way to start a business that makes money, but I never actually have to work on it? My friends, it doesn't work that way. So be realistic. If you want to get into something that you don't have skills in, that's okay. There's so many opportunities out there, and if you don't have skills in that, you can acquire these skills, and then from there you can vet the business idea that you have, and then you can start that business, but you don't have the skills, you don't have the resources, and you don't wanna work on it. That formula, that's wishful thinking.
