Articles like these are inspiring to me.<p>We see acquisition articles and startup success stories on this site that frequently range in the millions, and they're sort of like the rock stars of the bunch, where your chances of success have to do with a creative idea, hard work, and not a small amount of luck.<p>But cases like this, where Jon's managed to make (at least ramen) profitability off of a product he's made and shipped to people who enjoy it -- small scale stories like this -- are great.<p>Reading things like this makes me think, if you have some idea and <i>you</i> want it to come to fruition, then DO IT.
