This is dead on.
I think most of us have had the issue with being told to "Write me a Facebook."
I've done exactly what the article talks about, except not for something that makes money. It's a free platform that Serves a fairly neglected demographic.
Starting small is key.
I always say "Success breeds success." I set humble goals, succeed, then raise the bar on the next one.
This is really good for mentoring folks, as well. Get them used to succeeding. It may start with stupidly simple stuff, but, before you know it, they are doing really complex stuff.
