don't quit your day job

[flakelabs]

I have a plan to start selling kits in the next few months. Currently my wife is going to work the orders and manage shipping. I guess my question is, how sustainable is this business.

Are there a lot of people who earn a living doing this as opposed to working for some company.

Is it possible to grow organically? We are planning on selling 1 kit to start with and then will quickly add 3-4 more products after that. We don't have a ton of money and will most likely be turning the "profit" right back into inventory for awhile. Our end game is that I can quit my day job and do this solely once my wife starts teaching again. So how crazy are we?
