Building products is essential too (I would suggest it is actually the most important thing), but the key is learning how to market these in the most efficient way - the internet is PERFECT for this, obviously (and cost of production vs pricing is also well covered here.) I'm currently working on creating a product designed to help performers who are starting from scratch to build their own web businesses to support their careers - so I really value your comments.

Three great ways to move past this if you are in a service business are: build a team, build products that teach and make sure your pricing covers your risks!
