If you had £2k to learn a skill, and then £10k to start the business, what would you do? (alien.top)

Pretty much as above. Am Mortgage free, no income as I will be a stay at home dad as of Jan, 34 years of age, wife will be earning more than enough to cover all domestic expenses.
Ideally it will be something I can do from home.

Thanks.

The “do it from home” type of skills are much harder to get traction on than you think. Open an LLC, set up a google my biz, Get a power washer and start asking neighbors if you can power wash their driveways for Google reviews. Then just do power washing.

If you’re adamantly pursuing the “do it at home” route, pick anything and be your own first case study. Use that case study as a sales asset to get clients, then generate more case studies. Publicly document what you learn and your results on LinkedIn or Twitter. Then network with other new online entrepreneurs to support each other.
