Not all good money makers are Internet based.  One thing I have learned is not to close my eyes to any good opportunity.  Sometimes you run across things that make you really stop and think.  Every area of life presents opportunities that can be turned into money makers. 

     I remember one day sitting in my office at work looking out the window watching a father and son paint stripes in a parking lot oddly enough with with a four inch paint roller and a long piece of lumber for a straight-edge guide. That made me think that maybe this was a simple and easy way to make money.  One month later I was doing the same thing in the same manner that I had observed.  About a month after that I realized that money could be made but that I was going about this thing the hard way.

     I ventured out and purchased some very basic equipment to help make the projects I’d solicited a bit easier.  A few months later I submitted a proposal for a very large project and was actually successful in obtaining the contract.  Now I was in a real bad situation as a novice at this new found skill.  The project required some real professional and expensive equipment which I didn’t have.  It also required a lot of time to complete and I already had a full time day job.  To make a long story short, I ended up doing a job that required 40 days to complete and had to hire 6 extra people to help get it done.  The money I cleared from that one project was equal to a year’s salary on my day job.  I spent the next 10 years in the pavement marking and maintenance business.

     I know there are others of you that have similar stories.  Let me hear from you.
