Not every avenue will work for everyone no matter how well paved it is.  

The driveway was odd, with the neighbor at the top with a paved road going from her house down the opposite side of the hill, but she still came up the apparently common gravel driveway.

Marketing skills definitely seems like it will pave the way for your success in this industry or lack there of, so I have been doing a lot of research on how to market as well in this industry. 

There's also an impervious cover requirement -- a certain percentage of the lot has to remain uncovered by structure or asphalt so that there's less runoff to contend with; I think it's a 60/40 split but I can't recall which number is impervious and which is for the permeable. the living space itself was capped at 850 SF last time I looked and was usually done in an apartment over a detached garage.

My father-in-law started a paving business years ago and he describes the point at which he wasn't able to "manage it all himself" and had to start hiring/outsourcing his back-end work.  

I’m still working on paving my path as we speak.

Right now it's just paved land. 

IE survey an 80 acre 20 miles from the nearest paved road and surrounded by state lands or BLM .. when we were in logging we would run cut lines.. and then keep about 10 to 20 feet in from those lines..

The walkway from the front of the house around to the basement entrance is paved.
