Having 2 (or more) completely unrelated skills provide a shitload of advantage to yourself. The intersection of those skills helps a lot. I run 2 businesses, software and a property renovation business. Local independent trademen are for the most part great at the actually doing the job, plumbing, electrics, tiling, fitting, joinery, etc. What they suck at is running the business, finances, marketing, customer service, reliability and anything to do with computers.
I can use my tech skills to MASSIVELY enhance the trades side of the business. While i can do enough of the trades myself to cover my employees sick days, emergencies, etc, i dont do it day to day. I run the business and make sure i'm using my primary tech skills to grow us. Its working well so far.
