Hi Gary,
I think if you're someone like me [normal 9-5 m-f] limited extra income its important to do the best with what you can and build your financial resources as well as ample experience/skill/knowledge pertaining to anything you might be interested in replacing your primary source of income with.
I don't own any land, with my circumstances I've just been working in flooring contracting trying to achieve some sense of financial security. In my spare time I've been dabbling in organic gardening and planting in containers to take advantage of my limited space. I've had some success but probably 3 fold its been a learning experience to say the least. I intend to primarily work in flooring/sales/advertising
For people planning on doing something permaculture or craft/trade related for a primary source of income i would suggest spending a good bit of time learning about it and getting a grasp on a system that can profit through it. mediums like youtube, other social media enable you to grow support and recognition.
Personally my dream is to produce paintings and other pieces of art, farm produce and livestock, have a little farm to fork restaurant that maybe serves just lunch maybe breakfast. Maybe have a store connected to the restaurant kind of like cracker barrel or something similar except with only products produced on site.
I also wish to pursue and maybe even teach in martial arts somewhere down the road.
In the end, all these things are peachy but I'm very comfortable taking this all slow.
This may be a odd mantra but its helped me so much
