I have a similar problem as your husband. I have a small fashion line, but it takes lots of time to generate income. I also end up competing against the big companies like Walmart, who get their goods for low cost, thus my prices have to be higher.

I recently started a home based business, which I believe anyone can succeed at. It requires minimal investment and not a lot of time, which will leave time for your husband to do what he loves, building furniture. If you'd like, click on the link below.
