Not everything is about money or paying for things.

>but, on the other hand, people are in dire economical condition, so it's hard to sell them anything.

Buying and selling things is a very American construct and tells like 1/4 of the story when it comes to trading.

I grew up in a rural area of the US. Lots of folks are poor but wealthy beyond measure. Bartering goes a long way and only works if you provide a service that is valuable ;-).

Not everything, but surely running a business is one of those things that IS about money?

I'd disagree. Running a business is about developing systems to create and maintain resources, connections, and influence. Money is a symbolic representation of resources but by itself isn't a resource. Resources in my opinion, and experience, are a very small piece of the puzzle. In my experience connections have way more value than money. In my experience money attracts the worst kinds of folks to work with. My skills have created more value than money ever has.
