This an age old problem - somebody with excellent technical skills and a lot of enthusiasm falling down on commercial issues.
It would be nice to see more training available for technical workers who want to set up their own business - not to go sky high, get squillions of venture capital and rule the world - I think we all know by now that is a pretty rare occurence, but at least make a decent "cottage industry" out of their skills so they can make a reasonable living doing something they really enjoy.
I see loads of open source projects that could make the basis for a good consulting / services business, and often wonder how their owners are doing with them.
